Factors Influencing the Adoption of Technology in Teaching

With the current availability of instructional technology, faculty are beginning to create Web-based instructional materials, to use computer-based presentation systems in the classroom, and to design on- line courses. Northwestern offers Internet-based academic credit to high school seniors. Purdue, Ohio University, the University of Phoenix, and numerous other institutions offer on-line courses. Custom-made MBA\u27s, intensive degree programs, and traditional academic programs are being reinforced through the innovative use of technologies, including Internet-based instructional materials, distance learning, and multimedia instructional technology
