%X The purpose of this study was to determine whether there are differences in the creativity level between a group of university students who were taught utilizing instructional technology and a control group taught via traditional method of instruction. The Test your Creativity Level (TYCL) was administered as a pre-test and post-test for both groups of students (42 in the experimental group and 41 in the control group). Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) on the post-test results of the TYCL with the pretest scores as a covariate indicated significant differences between the groups at the .05 alpha level in favor of the experimental group on the overall creativity level and on each dimension¡¯s scores (intuitive awareness, external locus of control, self-confidence, and originality). University administrators should encourage faculty members to incorporate instructional technology into their teaching/learning process, plan curriculums around technology to advance the knowledge and creativity of students
