Universities often face big challenges when it comes to using new educational technologies. These challenges can make it hard for schools to adopt and use new tools effectively.

One major issue is resistance to change. Many teachers and staff members are used to their old teaching methods. They might see new technologies as unnecessary or even annoying. This can make them hesitant to try out new tools, which limits how much these tools can help.

Another problem is the lack of training. Even when universities buy new technology, they don't often provide enough training for teachers. If teachers don’t learn how to use these tools well, they might stick to what they know, preventing any new ideas from coming in.

The institutional culture of a university also plays a big part. Often, universities care more about research and getting published than improving teaching. This focus can make teachers feel like they should spend more time on research instead of looking for ways to improve their teaching with technology.

Another issue is limited collaboration between departments. When different departments don’t talk to each other, it can create a situation where knowledge and ideas about technology aren't shared. This makes it harder for everyone to learn from each other and come up with creative ways to use educational technology.

Finally, student engagement is sometimes ignored. If students don't get a say in how technology is used, their needs might not be met. This can lead to them not wanting to use the new tools.

In short, to make educational technologies really effective, universities need to tackle these challenges. They should create a flexible mindset, provide good training, encourage teamwork, and get students involved. By doing this, they can unlock the full benefits of technology in education.
