| Abstract: | Faculty members from a college in a major university were surveyed to explore the possible relationship between Internet usage and the following dependent variables: computer usage (length of time and perceived expertise), length of time of Internet use, perceived expertise of Internet use, and perceived utility of the Internet. Ninety-seven percent of faculty members have an Internet account. Furthermore, computer literacy and the time one has used computers are correlated with early adoption of the Internet, perceived utility of the Internet is correlated with computer literacy and with Internet usage, and Internet use is correlated with perceived Internet expertise but not with the length of time the faculty member has used the Internet. Highly skilled computer users are more likely to use the network in a more intensive way and have higher appreciation of the network's potential. |
