APPLICATION OF COMPUTER NETWORK IN EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION IN TERTIARY INSTITUTION
ABSTRACT
This
is the application of computer network in effective communication in the College of Education, Ikere – Ekiti is based on
effective dissemination of information via the application of computer
networking. It is purposely designed to
enable various users of computer to have access to the same information at the
same time on a network. The use of
computer network has become popular that in next millennium virtually every
business concern, organization, institution home and financial institution shall
be on computer network for fast dissemination of information. The best method to discuss this project work
is to enumerate the advantage of computer network service over that of another
communication media.

Background to the study
Background to the study
In recent
times, messages sent to people and business associates traveled hundreds of
kilometers before finally getting to their destinations. Mailing through the post and other related
services rendered by the post office was not effective and dependable. Thus, with progressive advancement in
technology, the invention of electronics like: radio, television, telex,
telephone, facsimile and E-mail for the dissemination of information was a
welcome development due to its advantages over printed materials like: internal
memorandum which has been in use within College of Education, Ikere – Ekiti as
a case study and other institutional established of our present days.

memorandum which has been in use within College of Education, Ikere – Ekiti as
a case study and other institutional established of our present days.
Of all these,
the problem of sending mail and not receiving it at the appropriate time,
coupled with the relatively high cost of sending message through these various
services further fires the need to seek better ways of sending mails without
stress. In addition, information is
needed in virtually every field of human endeavour. The advent of computer network today has
proved to be very dependable and effective.
Since the introduction of this service it has gained a lot patronage
world wide.

Since there
is need to be an effective communication between people within or outside an
organization as the case of College
of Education, Ikere –
Ekiti. Thus, this implies that, there is
need for an effective communication between academic staff, Non – academic
staff, various schools of studies (school I – school v), Head of department,
Dean of School, Provost Office, Bursary Department, Exams and Records, Security
Office, potter’s office and other sub – section. The idea of application of computer network
is to improve the former ways of communicating within the college system and
immediate environment.

Many people
have used the term communication in many ways.
At this point we shall discuss computer network kind of
communication. The word communication
refers to the process of transferring an idea, skill or aptitude from one
person to another accurately and satisfactorily. Also, communication is a continuous attempt
to share information and ideas with others which involves the transmission of
information from senders to receivers and from receiver to senders. Thus, it is a circular process rather than a
liner one.

Briefly,
computer network is used to transmit information over and within large
companies. The use of computer network
has become so popular that in the next century virtually every business
concern, organization and even homes will not stand without been on network. The design of this project is to improve
standard of communication and to enable various users to have access to the
same information at the same time on a network.

Purpose of the Study
This project
work on “Application of computer network in effective communication in the
college of education, Ikere – Ekiti” is embarked upon purposely to find
solutions to the poor communication system and to improve the existing system
of communication within and outside college community. Also, to dispel the fear that the people have
in the information dissemination from various sections of the college
community.

Similarly to
introduce the use of computer network into our communication system as to
enable various computer users to have access to the same information at the
same time on a network. To create room
for sending all sorts of information including photographs, audio, and video
clips via the use of computer network to maintain an effective communication
within and outside college environment due to the fact that, computer network
is faster, easier, cheaper and less strenuous, thus business and other
establishment can have a better alternative to conventional mail and message,
even the recipient is not around the message is always intact.

In addition,
other purpose is to prevent the act of tearing way of pasted letter and
internal memorandum on the notice board.
To prevent the missing in transit of message, misplacement, lost of
