The study addresses the following questions: (1) Do senior instructors at Jordan universities have enough knowledge and skill to practice using ICTs in their teaching activities?

And (3) Is there a significant difference in attitudes towards ICTs with instructors grouped by gender, college type, teaching experience, university type, and country of Ph.D.? A purposive sample of 251 faculty members who are seniors; that represents the population was chosen. In response to the survey, 226 responses were received, 167 male and 59 female responses.To answer the first question of this study: We found that senior instructors do have the basic necessary knowledge and skills, but focused training on ICTs in instruction should be considered here. As we mentioned, the seniors’ attitude towards this matter is clearly positive and most of them willing to be trained to practice that. Results indicated no significant differences in senior faculty members attitudes toward ICTs related to their gender, college, experience, university, and country of PhD.
