WRITTEN ACTIVITY QUESTION 1 This research study focuses on the importance of the organizational structure of a college. It remains focused on the important issues touching on the merits of having laid down structures that help in the smooth operations of a higher learning institution, in this case, a college. The research follows procedures that facilitate the operations and ensure proper follow up of the faculties and courses for the proper efficacy of the college.

Further, the research also focuses on the types of facilities like accommodations that are provided to students.

Availability of IT in a college has been attributed to aiding smooth and faster operational activities of institutions generally. Many areas of importance in institutions have been impacted by IT, for example, managerial affairs and communication among college staff and students just to mention but a few. This technology emergence in institutions has both advantages and disadvantages to its users. To begin with, communication has been improved in colleges in a way that staff and students find it easy to pass information from places within the institution without physically being at the points and even interruption.

Through internet access students tend to sort for help from their colleagues through emails making their research work poor in quality since they don't give it their whole time and concentration. Through technology, students also get involved in indiscipline activities like making phone calls during lectures leading to bad blood between tutors and students as tutors will have to always reprimand students at all times against this habit. Through access to internet, students find it easier for them to copy from other peoples' work leading to cheating in their examinations a vice that is not allowed by the college administration. In conclusion, IT has made it conducive for students and college students and staff to smoothly run their daily affairs at the institutions but on the other hand, it has also posed challenges to the said people.
