The education systems around the World are under increasing pressure to enhance the knowledge and skills of the students to fit into the 21st century job requirements. Conventional teaching has emphasized content. Teachers have taught through lectures and presentations interspersed with tutorials and learning activities designed to consolidate and rehearse the content. Contemporary settings are now favouring curricula that promote competency and performance. Curricula are starting to emphasize capabilities and to be concerned more with how the information will be used than with what the information is. Contemporary ICTs are able to provide strong support for all these requirements and there are now many outstanding examples of world class settings for competency and performance-based curricula that make sound use of the affordances of these technologies (Oliver, 2000). As a result, in recent years teaching and learning methods have started to change in educational institutions in general and business education in particular (Okwuanaso, 2004). Training in business education heavily relies on the introduction of ICT into the school system for quality in its service delivery.
