Technology is changing the way teaching and learning take place. The main purpose of this study is to investigate tertiary students' attitude towards integrating information technology (IT) in higher education. Using stratified random sampling, 180 questionnaires were distributed to students from six tertiary institutions in Mauritius. Exploratory Factor Analysis followed by multiple regression analysis were used to identify factors which influence the perception of students towards integrating IT in education. Our findings show that prior experience, IT self-efficacy, compatibility and institute support are the main determinants of the attitude towards IT integration in tertiary education. Our findings are expected to be useful to a number of players in the tertiary education sector.
