College and university educators are working closely with Information Technology (IT) professionals and Instructional Designers (ID) to adapt to the current demands of various pedagogical techniques to support students' success and matriculation. This study employed a mixed-methods research methodology (QUAL+ quan) to examine and understand the perceived computer attitudes, perceived computer literacy, and educators' perceived instructional technology usefulness in higher education. A survey instrument, the Computer Attitude Scale (CAS), and interviews were used to collect data. Quantitative analysis of the data revealed that computer attitude and computer literacy did not influence educators' perceptions and beliefs of the usefulness of instructional technology. However, qualitative analysis of the interview transcripts yielded overarching and notable themes that helped answer the research question critically and deeply. These themes centered on increasing the amount of instructional technology training and increasing communications with faculty overcoming the fear of and resistance to using instructional technology. The interviews revealed that additional training would allow educators to experiment with different teaching methods while providing instant feedback to ascertain if the teaching method is effective and sufficient for course instruction. Providing more training can overcome the intense fear of breaking the technology. A Technology Usage model, based on the constructs of using CAS as a baseline measure, the number of years tenured in higher education, and educators' experience with technology is proposed to help enable educators to incorporate technology holistically, purposefully, and inclusively. This model can help information technology professionals and instructional designers to have transparent dialogues with college and university educators to address the fear of using technology and increasing the amount of meaningful dialogue during the training to focus on using and implementing instructional technology that aligns with or helps innovate an educator's existing andragogy and pedagogy.
