The importance of the power of access to knowledge for human progress is undeniable. This is possible through education as a component of social production. Education is also one of the most important tools used in national development. Today, information and communication technologies, which include all kinds of visual, audio, printed and written tools that facilitate access to and creation of information, have defined our era as the age of technology. For this reason, curricula to be used in education in today's technological age are also developed in integration with digital technology. Today, rapidly changing and developing technologies have started to be used in education. The demand for technology, which has become an effective pedagogical tool in learning and teaching processes, has increased in higher education institutions as in every part of the education field. Digital technologies have become an important tool in supporting academics’ performance. However, the rate of use and adoption of digital technology is low in environments where technology resources are limited. Especially in art environments based on the master-apprentice relationship, the effective use of digital technologies constitutes a research question. In this study based on this research question; a total of six questions were asked to twelve academicians randomly selected from different departments of three universities by applying a semi-structured interview form. The descriptive research was conducted on the basis of the case study survey model and the data obtained were evaluated by content and descriptive analysis methods. Research findings reveal that academics working in theoretical fields use digital platforms more diversely and widely than their colleagues working in applied fields.
