Abstract

Modern technological tools revolutionized teaching and learning. The study's goals were to 1) find out the opportunities and challenges in the use of ICT 2) explore the relationship opportunities and challenges in the use of ICT. The study was descriptive, and the population of the study includes academic teachers from universities in Sahiwal division. The study sample consisted of 250 teachers. The questionnaire was pilot tested for reliability and validity. The study revealed that university-based professors use digital libraries to expand their expertise. The quantity of PCs in computer labs is likewise lacking. Teachers are reluctant to employ advanced ICT devices. The study found that while teachers have (81%) positive opportunities to use ICT resources and technologies in universities, there are (34%) obstacles. The usage of ICT tools by teachers can increase their motivation and productivity. The report advises universities to provide enough teacher training facilities, ICT-related courses, and specialists to improve their technical expertise based on modern information and communication technologies.
