Abstract

Social Networking Technologies (SNTs) have changed lots of former procedures in this modern era. One of its greatest influences is in the area of teaching and learning. This research work seeks to identify in the Ghanaian context with unavailability of some ICT infrastructure and other determinants, how this advantageous tool could be adopted and implemented to benefit the area of teaching and learning in the private Universities. To determine the adoption factors three (3) different theoretical frameworks were considered, namely; Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) Extension Model and Technology Acceptance Model. The research method adopted was quantitative and hence paper form questionnaire was used for the data collection. Several recommendations were made to enhance the adoption of SNTs for the purposes of supplementing teaching in the tertiary education in Ghana.
