Abstract—Information and communications technology (ICT) is a useful tool in the modern world, becoming indispensable, particularly in the educational setting. With this, the researchers looked into the ICT access of the faculty in colleges and universities in Central Visayas, Philippines. This access was measured through Faculty’s ICT Access (FICTA), administered through online surveys. Study findings revealed that faculty had physical access to ICT, evidenced by their acquisition of laptop computers, smartphones, Internet connections, and office suite software. Moreover, teachers were highly motivated to use ICT and highly skilled to operate, search, and strategize online. They also had high usage of ICT in their general and instructional work. Furthermore, motivation, skills, and usage access were significantly associated with one another. In conclusion, teachers have access to ICT which made their teaching better. Better digital infrastructure, more capability training, and encouraged utilization of ICT are recommended at the higher educational level in the country.
