Investigating the Use of Internet in Promoting Education in the Main Campus of the Addis Ababa University

Abstract

Addis Ababa University was established in 1950 embracing nine faculties and
seventy one students. It's original name was Trinity College which was soon
changed to University College of Addis Ababa (UCAA). In 1961, the
autonomous administrations of different colleges were brought under one
central administration giving rise to the Haile Selassie I University. In 1974,
right after the socialist revolution, the University was renamed Addis Ababa
University. Currently the Addis Ababa University administers a number of
colleges, faculties, institutes and schools offering several programs in its eight
campuses. An average of 3,000 graduate and undergraduate students complete
their studies every year. Thus, the University tries to meet the demand for
skilled manpower required in the economic, social and other aspects of the
nation
