Abstract

Given the need for the Higher Education Institutions (HEI) to adopt, adapt and appropriate the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to transform their process of teaching – learning, this study was conducted to identify the factors that influence this process, from the technological dimension. For the study it was necessary to perform a conceptual theoretical review of the past 10 years based on various literature sources. The results show a better theoretical understanding of the elements from this dimension that must be taken into account when incorporating ICT by the HEI. The factors found are related to: Personnel, Infrastructure and Strategic Management. These, in turn, are divided into sub-factors. The first group consists of: ICT management (technical support) and users support and competency (teacher training). The second group consists of: hardware, software and networks. Finally, the third and final factor is composed of: technological prevention and technological improvement.
