REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE
• ICT developing the quality and accessibility of education:
• Individuals are recommended to access knowledge by means of ICT to keep pace with the latest advancements (Plomp, Pelgrum& Law, 2007).
• ICT can be employed to eliminate communication obstacles such as that of space and time (Lim and Chai, 2004).

REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE
• ICT developing learning environment:• since learner-centred environments
presume that learners are stimulated to become responsible for their own learning, new technologies may provide students with a chance to select the manners of their learning. (Bransford et al., 2000; Romeo, 2006),

• « Teachers are very concerned about the lack of time for technology. They say they need more time to learn computer basics, time to attend technology training sessions, time to figure out how to integrate technology in the classroom, and time in the classroom to use technology »
• (Manternach-Wigans, 1999, p. 28)

Limitations
• There was not enough time to study barriers to the integration of ICT in all Moroccan universities.
• The sample size is small.
• A comparison between the two universities would be worthwhile.

Recommendations for future research
• Technology integration in other departments.
• Costs for implementation.
