English abstract
The new technology that is making an inroad to the teaching and research domain can be a boon to the teaching learning community. Wi-Fi for instance has a tremendous contribution in the way students connect and access information. This paper looks into the level of Wi-Fi awareness and the problems faced by the student community in the campus and their level of competence. The study involved a questionnaire survey of students residing in the campus. The parameter for the research was ICT literacy, Wi-Fi awareness, connectivity problem, usage, gadget preference. The outcome of the finding suggest that although the calls for radical transformation in educational approaches may be legitimate it would be misleading to ground the arguments for such change solely in students’ opinion and that the infrastructure indeed shows a great deal of benefit to the student in the way they connect online.The finding also identified the problems in WiFi hotspots and coverage.
