  The adoption of ICT in classrooms is very important in order to improve
education quality, promote effective management of knowledge, and improve
delivery of knowledge in higher education. Some of the Libyan universities have
already started using E-learning in classrooms, but many challenges are still
hindering that adoption. This paper endeavors to find the obstacles that may
face the adoption of E-learning in Libya and sketches out the possible
solutions. Further, it highlights the potentials for the adoption of E-learning
in the higher education system in Libya using both qualitative and quantitative
approaches. Both questioner and interview have been used on a focused group to
collect the data. Teachers and students at Al Asmarya Islamic University have
been selected as a sample for this study. This paper reveals that the
challenges hindering teachers and students from using ICT and E-learning are:
the lack of knowledge about ICT and E-learning, the lack of ICT infrastructure,
and the lack of financial support. However, the participants show a high level
of interest in applying the ICT and E-learning in the university despite the
unsuitability of the environment.
