The study delves into the impact of computer assisted instruction on the performance of students and lecturer. The topic was a case study Office Technology and Management Department of Kaduna Polytechnic. The theoretical basis for the study was done through the review of related literature from textbooks, journals, periodic, conference papers, Internet, etc types of computer assisted instruction, importance of computer assisted instructions, how computer assisted instruction affect students and lecturers and the problems of computer assisted instructions. The population of the study was 458 comprising the students and lecturers in the department under study. 20% (i.e. 94) was used as sample size. A set of questionnaire was used as instrument for data collection. Data were analyzed using mean statistical tool of the Four Point Likert Scale. The findings of the study revealed that computer assisted instruction has positive impact on the performance of students and lecturers as it gives opportunity for students and lecturers who are absent to practice on their own pace. Conclusions was made among others that computer assisted instructions has positive impact on students and lecturers as it exposes students and lecturers to the use of modern computer in their everyday life. Thus, the study recommends among others that management of institution should embrace the use of computer assisted instruction in teaching and learning by providing necessary computer facilities that will aid students as well as lecturers and likewise, lecturers should be training on the use of computer assisted instruction to enhance their performance in teaching and learning.
