Abstract

University teachers continue to strive to support the uptake and use of digital technologies in their teaching to support student learning. This chapter highlights teacher beliefs as expressed in interviews following a professional development project related to the uptake and use of digital technologies in their teaching. The teachers see possibilities in the new tools as well as challenges. Teachers need time to learn and implement these tools in reflection and in line with their own beliefs. They see change as small steps forward. If teachers' uptake of use of digital technologies is to be advanced, and through this technology enhancing learning for themselves and for students, further institutional support to promote design, collaboration, and sharing will be important.
