With a mixed methods and explanatory research design that included 164 survey and 15 semi-structured interview participants, this study explored the levels of and barriers to ICT adoption and use at the College of Education at Al-Jouf University, Saudi Arabia. Using co-joint analysis, it found distinct differences in attitudes towards adoption between departments and participants based on age, amounts of experience and self-perceived levels of self-confidence in ICT. These led to relevant conclusions and recommendations.
