Abstract	While it is certain that there is a technology presence on all campuses, further investigation suggests that faculty use of teaching with technology is far from a universal phenomenon. Anecdotal reports from staff tell of low turnouts among faculty who claim that they have no time to invest in learning the necessary skills despite expensive infrastructure and outreach efforts on the part of support staff. In assessing the factors that have contributed to the gap between educational technology resources and their implementation, Sharon Kopyc argues that institutions will need to adopt a diverse, flexible range of strategies to foster more widespread faculty use of technology in their work. In addition to faculty workshops and technology committees, Kopyc illustrates further strategies that institutions should consider: faculty-led teaching forums, technology fellowships that provide release time as well as structured support, and just-in-time training options that accommodate the time constraints, individual needs, and personal preferences of faculty members throughout the institution. By avoiding a "one size fits all" approach to faculty development, Kopyc argues, institutions will have significantly greater success in realizing the educational potential of their technological infrastructure.
