Abstract
For a decade past, integration of technology in teaching and learning has been received with both
apprehension and skeptism from academics and student majority at the University of Dar es
Salaam (UDSM).
The study recounts real,
professional
and practical experiences,
challenges,
and opportunities of integrating educational technologies using available official documents and
reports covering real practical experience in the period of ten years at
UDSM
. The study identifies
gaps th
at need to be worked upon to unleash full potentials brought by educational technologies
at the university. The study recommends more support to early adopters committed to initiating
blended learning programs, strengthening and expanding existing
blended
distance programs
as
well as seeding new ones and building capacity in developing and testing more reliable
blended
distance program
innovations.
