| Abstract | ||
| Universities and colleges offer students the opportunity to grow intellectually and creatively through the advanced study of science, engineering and literature. As modem workforces require well-motivated individuals with the skills and adaptability to meet the demands of an ever more competitive world market for quality products, the govcrnment of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) wants to see a successful and inclusive society, with a competitive economy built on the talents and skills of all. The idea that technology is changing the way we work and learn has become a constant refrain in contemporary society. Thus, universities and higher colleges look to modem technologies to help solve problenls that have inhibited learning in the past. Another challenge to institutions of higher education with regard to professional development in areas of technology is the mere fact that students of tomorrow will be more dependent on technology skills than the students of today. Taking up the idea that educational technologies have the potential to alter how universities and higher colleges are run and how students learn. This paper addresses how to encourage widespread effective use of new technologies in teaching, learning and research in all educational institutions and all subjects to ensure that students are able to use new technologies to enhance their learning and prepare for working life. | ||
