Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which faculty members in Taiwan's Institutes of Technology were ready to adopt Web-enhanced instructional technology (WEIT) in the classroom. Specifically, this study assessed faculty readiness levels based on investigated faculty's WEIT adopter category distributions in terms of capability, commitment, and innovativeness. With regard to WEIT adopter distribution, most faculty members perceived that they belonged to the upper three categories (Innovator, Early Adopter, and Early Majority) with an increasing commitment to upgrade their innovation levels.
