Information and Communications Technology (ICT)

CMMU emphasizes the provision of Information Technology (IT) services to students and faculty in
respect of education, research, academic services, and general administration. In 2011 CMMU
restructured the ICT Department and improved the scope of services to be more appropriate and
effective. The duties and responsibilities of IT staff were properly allocated, and the development
of an action plan increased the effectiveness of IT service provision. The current scope of IT
services includes basic IT provision, a computer network and software application as well as
development activities for IT knowledge for general administration.

During the year, CMMU purchased computers, devices and audio-visual equipment to facilitate
teaching and learning and general operations in the College. Purchases included personal
computers and colour printers, a server and IT switch, LCD monitors, projectors, and VDO
cameras.
