“…The findings of this study are also in line with Koohang (1989), Hunt and Bohlin (1993), and Gressard and Loyd (1985), in that greater use of IT brings about more positive attitudes and hence greater confidence in the users. This enhanced confidence, in turn, results in more use, which may lead to even greater learning.…”

This study investigated the students attitudes toward the use of World Wide Web Course Tools (WebCT) and its influence on learning taking a course Introduction to Computers in Business offered at the College of Commerce and Economics in Sultan Qaboos University in Oman. Sultan Qaboos University is a co-educational institution where in most computer classes the male and female students are equally distributed. Omani society is a segregated society where male and female students have some how different life style and have different attitudes towards learning Information Technology.This research is exploring the difference if any of their attitudes toward WebCT, where WebCT was introduced in their "Introduction to Computers in Business" course as a supplementary learning tool. The finding showed that though male students have little more exposure of WebCT at the beginning of the course than the females, but towards the end of the course the male and female students have appreciated almost equally the importance and the use of WebCT as it is easily accessible from any Internet enabled location and at any time in addition it helps them in better understanding and learning the course material.

“…Student attitudes toward computers are important in influencing the future use of computers in instructional settings; therefore, many attempts have been made to assess students' overall attitude toward computers. Gender, racelethnicity, age, and prior computer experience are some of the factors found to influence computer attitude (Hunt & Bohlin, 1993Martinez & Mead, 1988;Moon, 1994;Price & Winiecki, 1995;Smith & Necessary, 1996).…”

“…Several other studies have reported that female students are less confident or knowledgeable than males about using computers (Blackmore et al, 1992;Oliver, 1993;Marshall, 1997;Marshall & Bannon, 1986). In contrast, there are also many reports which indicate that there are no significant differences between the attitudes of male and female students, for example: Koohang (1989), Kay (1989), Hunt & Bohlin (1993), Marshall & Bannon (1986) and Woodrow (1991).…”

Effective delivery of the new information technology (IT) curriculum for student teachers in the United Kingdom, which started in September 1998, is an important challenge for initial teacher training institutions. This article identifies three main obstacles that may limit its successful implementation -student access to computers, the communications and information technology (ICT) policy adopted by initial teacher training providers and the lack of encouragement for students to use ICT on teaching practice. The work is based on a survey carried out in 1997 of lecturers and students in three teacher training institutions in Northern Ireland. The findings have led to the proposal of basic guidelines to contribute towards the development and implementation of an effective ICT policy in initial teacher training institutions.
