  13. Comparison between Facebook and Moodle Figure 2. Comparative Marks for Variables with Statistically Significant Differences for Facebook and Moodle (Petrovic et al., 2014, p. 122). Figure 3 Comparative Marks for Variables with Statistically Significant Differences for Facebook and Moodle (Petrovic et al., 2014, p. 122).

  14. Conclusion • Facebook and Moodle are two important ICT tools for online education. More importantly, Moodle is more suitable for teaching and learning whereas Facebook is more acceptable for a large number of students.

Professional Displines • ICT has different influences on educators who teach different professional displines. • ICT is more helpful for those educators who teach engineering and science, and these educators can use high technologies skillfully (Petrovic et al.,2014; Marcelo, Yot, & Mayor, 2015).

  17. ICT's Impact on Learners • Modern students as digital natives are more good at using hihg technology on school campuses (Batista et al.,2015; Dewitt, Naimie, & Siraj, 2013; Lukas, 2014). • Nearly 100% students know how to use ICT tools. • ICT-based education can promote higher acedemic performance (Amandu et al., 2013; Lukas, 2014; Sari, 2014). • ICT also can strengthen students capabilities such as critical thinking, writing and understanding, and technologies enable students learn more knowledge which they are unable to learn from books.
