Abstract
Many university administrators are unaware of the increasing use of computer technologies for educating employees. This study explored higher education administrators’ perceptions of computer technology for university administrator learning. A treatment group of UC Berkeley administrative employees was assigned to use an online simulation; a control group was not. Perceptions in both were assessed with three survey instruments: COLLES, WEBLEI, and TAM. Mean scores of the treatment and control groups were compared with a t-test; no significant differences were found except in two WEBLEI item-level questions. Future research should include formal interviews, consistency in testing locations, use of a testing moderator, and a larger sample size encompassing a greater geographical range and various types of higher education institutions.
