dc.description.abstractAs Information Communication Technology (ICT) has evolved, the overall physical size of computing devices has gradually decreased due to advances in the microchip technology; com`puting processing power doubles every few months and at the same time the cost of the computing devices has continuously been going down. What this means is that today, the general citizenly in every economy have every powerful devices within their hands for personal use. With the growth in internet and interconnectivity between devices, all these devices already have access to the internet where they can be able access vast amounts of information resources and organizational systems (school included). With the global shift to internet based systems, this combines to add immense power to a knowledge/information based societies. Schools and other learning institutions are at the verge of being transformed by the growth of this digital content/transformation. Students from their early years of learning have access to these powerful devices and most of them now how to operate them. Learning institutions on the other hand face the challenge of acquiring computing devices especially with the drive towards one device a student, driven by the rising financial needs to sustain education hence limited budgets to acquire and maintain computing devices. Bring your own device (BYOD) offers an opportunity for learning institutions to exploit the power of the devices that students and staff have to drive the delivery of digital content. However, this is not easy as it may sound even thou beneficial. Several issues have arisen as regards BYOD adoption in schools and addressing them would be critical for its success. This paper looks at these issues, and provides an approach on how each of these issues can be handled to provide an inherent framework for BYOD adoption.
