This paper describes a framework that higher education administrators can use to increase the utilisation of technology on their campuses. The framework is designed to increase technology usage in higher education by increasing the motivation of individual faculty members to use technology. The paper begins by describing how college administrators have come to view technology as a necessary tool for addressing many of the problems in higher education. Categories of technological innovations that can be used in higher education are described, including both 'product' technologies such as computer aided instruction and 'idea' technologies such as constructivism. Strategies that can be used to motivate faculty to use technology are discussed. These strategies are based on Keller's (1983) ARCS Model and are divided into attention gaining strategies, relevance strategies, confidence building strategies and satisfaction strategies.
