Abstract

Several studies have investigated the adoption of information technology by teachers in the educational setting. However, certain missing links were identified in the gap between the actual teacher adoption and research findings. This situation is particularly true for college teachers because compared with K1–K12 teachers, college teachers generally have more freedom to decide whether to adopt the educational technologies. The goal of this research is to explore specific missing links to address the gap between research findings and observed practice in reality. Several findings are critically analyzed in this paper for the future enhancement of theoretical models and empirical research related to the acceptance of educational technologies by college teachers.
