The objective of this study was to assess the antecedents of ICT attitudes of distance education (e-PJJ) students at the Institute of Education Development (InED), UiTM. The antecedents studied were computer anxiety, confidence, liking, and usefulness. The findings are important to strengthen InED's policy for using ICT and other technologies to impart knowledge and education at the diploma and undergraduate levels. Five hundred students were the units of analysis for this study and the response rate was 56.8%. Even in this Information Age, the findings showed that there are still some students who are uncomfortable with using ICT or educational technology for e-learning. (Contains 3 tables and 1 figure.)
