Information and Communication Technologies use in learning at a Moroccan higher education Institution

Abstract

In this work, we study the effect of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) on learning at the Oujda Faculty of Science, using a questionnaire survey to examine students' digital practices. The aim of this research was to determine the state of digital usage among digital natives, and to identify the learning activities for which ICT is used. The study reveals a disconnect between students' personal and academic spheres. The study urges universities to review their teaching methods to reinforce their true role in the cultivation and creation of knowledge. It underlines the need to harness the digital culture that students have developed outside university to enhance their learning.
