Abstract

This study explores the integration and impact of emerging technologies in academic activities within the Faculty of Education at Sadu Zungur University Gadau. Using a case study approach, the research investigates how tools such as artificial intelligence, virtual learning environments, mobile applications, and digital collaboration platforms are adopted by faculty and students. Data were collected through survey, interview, and classroom observations to assess the effectiveness, challenges, and perceptions surrounding these technologies. The findings reveal growing reliance on digital tools to enhance teaching, learning and administrative processes, though barriers such as limited infrastructure, digital literacy gaps, and resistance to change persist. The study concludes with recommendations for strategic implementation, capacity building and policy developmenttooptimizetheuseofemergingtechnologiesinhighereducation.
