The study reported on in this article investigated the use of Web 2.0 technologiesby lecturers in the Faculty of Information Science and Communications atMzuzu University (MZUNI), Mzuzu, Malawi. By distributing a questionnaire to 19lecturers, conducting follow-up interviews with seven lecturers and analysing thecurricula, the study showed that between 10 (58.8%) and 13 (76.5%) lecturersuse Wikipedia, YouTube, blogs, Google Apps and Twitter to accomplish various academic activities, such as handing out assignments to students; receivingfeedback from students; uploading lecture notes; searching for content; storinglecture notes; and carrying out collaborative educational activities. The studyadopted the Decomposed Theory of Planned Behaviour (Taylor and Todd 1995)and the theory's elements that strongly affected lecturers' use of the technologiesaccording to the results included attitude and perceived behaviour control. Thestudy also found that poor Internet access remains the key stumbling blocktowards a successful adoption of Web 2.0 technologies by lecturers at MZUNI.To this end, the study recommends that the newly established Department ofICT Directorate with support from MZUNI management should install campuswideWi-Fi and improve Internet bandwidth so that lecturers' access to theInternet is not limited to their offices but rather is available in the teaching roomsacross the campus.DHE
