Abstract

This paper demonstrates the potential of Saudi schools for technology leadership provided by Learning Resource Centres (LRCs) to enhance the formation of a technology-motivated educational environment. Using the grounded theory methodology and the CBAM stages of concern and levels of use this study sheds light on Saudi LRCs and their leadership role within the framework of the ongoing ICT-related education reform. From the interviews of the participants in the training programme at Northern Borders University, Saudi Arabia, it is found that Saudi schools require standardized technology leadership to implement standardized uses of technology via networked LRCs. The Saudi teachers with little knowledge of technology can use LRCs.
