A null hypothesis tested at P< 0.05 level of significance. Quasi experiment research design was adopted. It was a pre-test, post-test, non-randomized experimental and control groups. Population of study constituted of 1018 undergraduate students of LIS in five (5) Universities in North-Western States Nigeria. Purposive sampling and intact classes were used. Four universities, consisting 900 undergraduate students were used in this study. Two Instruments were uses for data collection; Treatment WEBIP, IWB & PPP and Test Instrument LISAT & LISRT vs (LISAAT) consists of fifty multiple choice questions. Content validated was ensure by experts and specialists from the Universities. Instruments were trial tested at one of the Universities in the North-western Geo-Political Zone, (which was not part of study sample). Instrument were trial-tested. Reliability coefficient of 0.92 was obtained using Kuder-Richardson (KR - 21). While interest questionnaire obtained 0.89 using Cronbach Alpha. Data was analyzed viz descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings revealed that, the three experimental group of Web-based, Interactive Whiteboard and PowerPoint show the same level of academic outcomes. Conclusion and recommendations were made that, stakeholders in university educations should make tremendous efforts to ensure adoption of ICT and the integration of technology pedagogies in their lecture/classrooms.
