A Framework for the Use of Interactive Whiteboard Technology as an e-Learning Tool in Namibian Higher Institutions: A Case of NUST

Many developing countries recognise the importance of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education for teaching and learning. In Namibia however, the use of ICT and its integration in the classroom remains inadequate. The purpose of this study is to assess the extent to which interactive whiteboard technology (IWB) is used as an e-Learning tool at the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST). This study is based on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT). To attain the main objective, a mixed method approach consisting on both qualitative and quantitative analyses will be used to collect data among lecturers and students of NUST through the use of interviews and survey questionnaires. Data will be analysed using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) and ATLAS. ti. The findings of this study will inform the management of higher education institutions on the extent to which their students and lecturers are using interactive whiteboards as an e-Learning tool across higher education institutions in Namibia
