To be able to support and enhance university teaching with ICTs we must first find out how academics are currently teaching their subjects, and why they teach in certain ways. To be able to embed technology sucessfully within teaching and learning we must understand how teachers' experience and perceive teaching, learning, ICTs, and the mesh of factors that motivate them to adopt, or not to adopt technology.

The aim of this study was to identify some core themes that are of significance when implementing ICTs in university teaching, and in doing so be able to respond to needs, gather requirements, alleviate fears, and illuminate the benefits of using ICTs in teaching and learning.
