Many researchers have explored instructional use of information communication technology (ICT) in higher education and uncovered several factors that affect its application in teaching. The effect of age on university teachers’ ICT use, however, has attracted much less attention. This study uses quantitative data from a survey of 401 teachers from the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia to reveal any differences in instructional ICT use in terms of age. The results show that age is not a factor in instructional ICT use, although some age-related differences appear in teachers’ personal ICT uses. The findings may inform planning for teacher support along with training and quality assurance at the university’s centre for ICT-supported teaching. https://doi.org/10.34105/j.kmel.2021.13.010
