Information and Communication Technology (ICT) acquisition is among the different assets which need to be acquired by faculty members in relation to internationalization of universities. Consequently, ICT literacy and utilization are regarded as crucial among educational authorities around the world. Evidently for the past number of years there have been growing interests in training and information literacy activities among faculty members in universities (Edwards, et. al., 2006). Faculty members of higher education institutions are supposed to make best use of ICT in their educational works and use different features of ICT in teaching and learning as well as in their research activities. As a result, there is an imminent need for universities to establish some form of training support system for ICT literacy among faculty members and at the same time keep faculty members up to date with the most current ICT applications. This paper is a part of a PhD thesis that will focus on the Iranian Higher education system concerning ICT Development programs among its university faculty members. The objectives of this paper are to: analyze the current situation of ICT literacy of academicians in Iranian universities, identify the challenges of ICT literacy programs, and to examine future perspectives for ICT literacy programs in relation to the Iranian Government’s 20 years Perspective Plan Document. Data presented is based on the information drawn from: the critical review of ICT Literacy Programs in Higher Education Structure and ICT literacy movement in Iranian Universities which echoed, to a certain degree, several obstacles and challenges in meeting the future directions of ICT development in Iranian Higher institutions.
