7. A University is seen as: “ an academic institution at which research is conducted and teaching and learning is offered within the organized cadre of the contact between lecturer and student, and supported by networking, cooperation and collaboration with external academic partners to create, develop and transmit new knowledge” ( Lategan, 2005) CONCEPT It is not the use of technology within a university, which classifies it as a technological university, but rather the interweaving, focus and interrelation between technology and the nature of the university which constitutes a technological university.
