From the findings, it was concluded that students’ online gambling has eroded the time needed to study, increases their stress level through anxiety and ultimately affected their performance through cumulative grade point average. It was therefore recommended that university authority should monitor online gambling participation through blockage of websites that promote online gambling, amongst othersItem Attitude and Perception of Secondary School Teachers' Toward the Use of Mobile Technologies for Instruction(Department of Science Education, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria, 2017-06-22) ISSA, Ahmed Idris; Falade, Ayotunde Atanda; Andulrahman, Mohammed Rabiu; Aladesusi, Gboyega AyodejiTechnology has advanced so much that the geographical gap is bridged with the use of tools that make you feel as if you are inside the classroom.

This study investigated stakeholders' perception of the integration of needed ICT equipment and facilities in distance learning in Nigeria. Two research questions were raised; 897 respondents participated in the study drawn from five Universities in Nigeria using researchers' design questionnaire. Percentage (%) was used to analyse the data. From the analyses, it was noted that all 27 ICT equipment and facilities were considered needed; the least among them was video conferencing (71.5%) and the highest was computer (97.7%). It was also noted that 531 (59.2%) of the respondents were female while 366 (40.8%) were male; this indicates that female respondents are slightly higher than male respondents. It is therefore recommended amongst many that government should give necessary support to integrate and procure the needed ICT aspects and materials. Conclusively, distance learning curriculum should be designed to accommodate the integration of ICT equipment and facilities.
