【 摘 要 】

The purpose of this paper was to study academics’ readiness for organisational change (ROC) towards the integration of Innovative Teaching and Learning Technologies (ITLTs) in public universities. A cross-sectional research design was used to collect data from 234 academics selected from two public universities in Tanzania. The study adopted a mixed-method approach followed up explanatory sequential design whereas data were collected using surveys and semi-structured interviews. Findings indicated that meso‑level variables hold less status of ROC compared to micro-level variables whereas integration of ITLT practices are evidenced to be relatively low. More importantly, readiness for change influenced the integration of ITLTs, thus could be recognised as an essential component for the implementation of ITLTs in higher education.
