| Abstract: | The press for implementing technology based instructional delivery systems in community and technical colleges is well documented. Yet faculty face numerous challenges in integrating technology into instruction (AL-Bataineh & Brooks, 2003

Brooks , L. ( 2003 ). Challenges, advantages, and disadvantages of instructional technology in the community college classroom . Community College Journal of Research and Practice , 27 , 473 – 484 .Taylor & Francis Online] , Google Scholar]; Groves & Zemel, 2000

Stimulating faculty ownership in technology, diffusion of technology use throughout institutions, and linking technology use to the faculty reward system are key concerns addressed in this proposed tool for evaluating faculty technology integration performance. The tool is based on research on faculty development (Howery, 1997
Howery , C. B. ( 1997 ). Recognizing and rewarding the professional and scholarly work of sociologists . Unpublished report to the Council of the American Sociological Association . Google Scholar]) and the technology adoption process (Hall, Loucks, Rutherford, & Newlove, 1975

Stimulating development of faculty expertise linked to technology goals is the goal of applying the tool. |
