Abstract

This document presents a conceptual analysis on the influence of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and the impact they have generated in the teaching / learning processes. Higher education in Colombia has been transformed in recent decades, with the aim of decisively responding to the requirements of a renewed society, which seeks to have more skilled professionals, who efficiently manage administrative and academic processes in Higher Education Institutions in these times of economic globalization. The methodology used is part of the documentary review of research and publications carried out during the last ten years. The results indicate that ICT have significantly contributed to different neuralgic aspects, in the educational context and that applications in pedagogical processes are increasing. © 2019 Centro de Informacion Tecnologica.
