Abstrak:Teknologi informasi dan komunikasi (TIK) memberikan kontribusi yang positif terhadap peningkatan hasil belajar peserta didik. Tidak ada yang mempermasalahkan pernyataan ini apabila TIK memang dimanfaatkan secara terencana, terpadu, dan teratur di dalam kegiatan pembelajaran. Sekalipun demikian, hasil penelitian atau kajian tentang pemanfaatan TIK hanya menitikberatkan pada pengaruh/dampak terhadap hasil prestasi belajar peserta didik; tetapi kurang menekankan pada tantangan-tantangan atau kesulitan-kesulitan guru dalam memanfaatkan TIK untuk pembelajaran. Dengan kata lain, apakah TIK di sekolah-sekolah sudah dimanfaatkan secara terencana, terintegrasi, dan teratur? Manakala jawabannya sudah, langkah-langkah apa yang telah dilakukan untuk memanfaatkan TIK di dalam kegiatan pembelajaran? Manakala jawabannya belum, faktor-faktor apa saja penyebabnya? Mengapa ada sebagian sekolah yang maju dalam pemanfaatan TIK-nya dan diikuti dengan peningkatan prestasi belajar peserta didiknya (TIK memberikan dampak positif)? Tentunya ada faktor-faktor tertentu, baik peluang, tantangan (kendala/hambatan),maupun harapan yang perlu diperhatikan manakala akan memanfaatkan TIK di dalam kegiatan pembelajaran. Masalah inilah yang menggugah penulis untuk melakukan kajian yang didasarkan pada berbagai referensi yang didukung hasil pengamatan dan diskusi terbatas dengan pendidik dan tenaga kependidikan. Tujuannya adalah untuk mengetahui berbagai peluang, tantangan, dan harapan di dalam pemanfaatan TIK untuk pembelajaran yang dapat dijadikan sebagai rujukan/acuan untuk memfasilitasi guru dalam melaksanakan kegiatan pembelajaran melalui pemanfaatan TIK.Kata-kata kunci: Teknologi informasi dan komunikasi (TIK), pembelajaran, prestasi belajarAbstract:Information and communication technology (ICT) gives positive contribution to the improvement of students learning achievement. No one will argue on this statement as long as ICT is appropriately utilized (well planned, integrated, and sustained) in the instructional activities. However, most research or studies on ICT utilization only focus more on the impact of students’ learning achievement and less on the challenges that teachers face in utilizing ICT in their teaching learning process. In other words, has ICT utilization in schools been well planned, integrated, and sustained? If the answer is “Yes”, what are the steps that have been taken to utilize ICT for learning? If the answer is “No”, what are the causes? Why are there some more developed schools in utilizing ICT and followed with improvement of their students’ learning achievement (ICT gives possitive impact)? It can be stated that there are some factors of opportunities, challenges, as well as hopes that need to be considered before or during utilizing ICT in teaching-learning process. This has attracted the author to conduct a study that is based on some references and supported by some observation and discussion with some teachers and educational personnels. The objective of this study is to know some opportunities, challenges, and hopes in ICT utilization for learning that can be used as references to facilitate teachers in utilizing ICT in their teaching-learning process.Keywords: Information and Communication Technology (ICT), learning, learning achievement

The Teaching and learning process is cardinal to the realization of the educational objectives of any nation. The advent of information and communication technology has made teaching and learning easier and beyond the traditional face to face interaction between the teacher and the learner. E-learning basically involving the transfer of skills and knowledge through an electronic device aims at improving the teaching/learning process. In spite of the benefits of e-learning to both regular students and distance learners, e-learning has been fraught with some challenges in Africa. Therefore, this paper discusses some of the challenges facing e-learning in Africa particularly in the Nigerian higher education system. These among others are epileptic power supply, high cost of procurement of computer hardware, inadequate infrastructure, and resistance to change on the part of the instructors, inability of learners to make use of ICT infrastructure, inadequate skilled manpower ICT, and corruption of computer storage device through viruses. Effectively managing the identified challenges means that the government would have to ensure regular power supply, lecturers and learners should be trained in the use of ICT infrastructure, and the government should evolve viable ICT policy as well as control or subsidise the price of the s of ICT infrastructure to make it affordable for both lecturers and learners.
