Abstract
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has significantly improved the educational environment to higher degrees. The teaching and learning methodologies have been changed to greater extends to motivate the instructors and learners. The learner’s satisfaction on these ICT innovations depends on their impact in day to day knowledge gaining processes. This paper discusses some major ICT factors that influence the Omani learners and their corresponding satisfaction levels. This research also identified that these technological innovations motivate the learners in self-learning and in future continuing education. The study identified that the overall significant development educational processes and encouragement in the learning processes by information and communication technology innovations have higher impacts on the learners’ satisfaction.
