This study was basically a critical review of the literature using multiple case study methodology to explore and understand the appropriate approach to the establishment of proper integrated ICT infrastructure and its applications in tertiary institutions. Several factors have been identified especially in the normal education environment, both enablers and hindrances together with an elaborat e ICT infrastructure that serves as a backbone to the ICT integration into the education. The study reveals enablers and infrastructure aspects for ICT integration; and the managerial impact of incorporating the determinants as a paramount tool for a state-of-art educational environment.
