Abstract

The study was spurred by poor maintenance and inadequate provision of modern technologies in universities in Rivers State, hence the need to manage the few modern ones available for quality educational delivery in public universities in Rivers State, Nigeria. The study was guided by three research questions and three hypotheses. Adopting an analytic descriptive design, the population consisted of all the 2,330Senior Lecturers in the three Universities in Rivers State, out of which a sample size of 349 was drawn, using stratified random sampling technique representing 15% of the population. A researcher-made instrument, titled Management of Modern Technologies for Quality Educational Delivery Scale (MMTQEDS) with 34 items was used. Face validity was ensured by experts in the relevant areas. The internal consistency reliability coefficient of 0.89 for MMTQEDS was computed, using Cronbach Alpha statistical method. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions, while One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 alpha level of significance. It was found, among others, that e-library, computer-based instruction, interactive white board and network provision do not receive preventive and routine maintenance as a management measure, in order to keep them in their best performance status for quality service delivery. Based on the findings, it was recommended, among others, that all the academic staff, non-academic staff and students should be made to undergo computer training, in order to be internet and technology compliant.
