The objectives of this study were to determine the perceived ease of use and usefulness of technology in teachers at higher education levels. Using a stratified random sampling technique, a sample size of 96 teachers, including 67 male teachers and 29 female teachers from six social sciences departments (Education, Economics, Sociology, Psychology, Mass Communication, and Management Sciences) of the Institute of Southern Punjab, Multan, Pakistan. A questionnaire was adopted and modified according to the requirements of the study. The data was collected through the adopted questionnaire. The SPSS was used to analyze the collected data.
