Abstract

The use of technology in our everyday lives has become a very common occurrence and it is integrated in all facets of our lives. This is even more apparent in the field of academia where the leaders of the future are very astute users of technology. Technology, with its fast pace of change, has led to numerous new methods of communication between the students themselves and between the students and their lecturers. Communication is not the same anymore. Educational institutions worldwide have been forced to make better use of technology in order to better interact with students and to improve on the level of education that they provide. Open and Distance Leaning (ODL) Institutions, by their very nature, need to ensure they stay on the forefront of developments in this field in order to provide a better learning environment and service to its students. This article aims to determine the level of acceptance of e-learning systems and technology in ODL institutions by faculty, as well as their inclination to support it.
