Abstract

Fifteen survey items were administered to higher education faculty in 2001 and 2003 to assess what barriers they perceived to the implementation of instructional technology. Only one of the 15 barriers was significantly reduced in this longitudinal study. The researchers attribute this change to the University's focus on improving technical support. The other 14 items were not considered major barriers in 2001 so had not changed considerably.
