This article discusses the design and the implementation of a scale that measures the integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) in university educational and the generation of social exclusion derived thereof. Information was gathered through a Likerth scale applied to students at two higher education centers in Mexico and Costa Rica. The main results indicate that students value ICT as significant tools in their education; however, students who do not perform well with these technologies are often excluded. Likewise, according to the empirical evidence generated in the study, we conclude that the scale contains indexes of internal consistency and reliability such that it can be applied in measuring populations at higher educational centers.
