        Use of "Information and Communication Technology" encompass all aspects of The Living and coincidewith other sections, In the Higher education also created amazing Evolution. Many scientist agree in thisarea that Universities should be not only as "Think Tank and Social development center", that Indrawn andintegration Technology in to Universities, But also to be pioneer in Technology innovation. This agendaneed to have Frameworks and Models that shows relationship between dimensions of ICT and acting asguidance for doing.Very efforts were accomplished that Conceptualizing Use of ICT in Education and Higher Education adhoc,and explain role of these Technologies. But not Represented Framework that InstitutionalizedIntegration of ICT in Universities.The aim of this study is represent same Framework. For this point, I identify dimensions of ICT inUniversities by investigate of theorical foundation and Research Background, and categorized thisdimensions in to The five categories as Independent Variables that each level contained Several clusters ofvariables. Also, it was investigated which approaches are emerging with Respect to the used of ICT inUniversities. These approaches were depend variables which have Two levels: Now and Future.It Seeks to Answer for Study questions. For this object, It is designed Questionnaire that it is contained 47questions and 201 statement. Then, account questionnaire reliability and validity and gathered data of 410samples (Include: 60Managers, 180 Faculty and 170 University staff). This Data is Analyzed by StatisticalMethods Such as; One Samples t Test, Paired Samples t Test, ANOVA, Factor Analysis and Regression.Conclusions showed that each Five Categories variables are important in use of ICT in UniversityManagement. However, for Institutionalization ICT in University Management, First need to exactlyidentified approaches then identified variables That Will Have an Influence on this approach, and betterexplain it changes. In finally step, this variables Involved in planning for development of ICT inUniversities.Finally, In Terms of analysis, provided a Conceptual Framework for Institutionalizing use of ICT inUniversity Management. In This Framework each category of variables predicts next category, and allvariables predicts university approaches for Use of ICT. Manuscript profile

The research tool was a researcher-madequestionnaire using the World Foundation ICDL questionnaire. Thereliability was confirmed according to Cronbach's alpha (93%). Datawas analyzed by Chi-Square, one-way ANOVA, Tukey, LSD andMann Whitney. The study shows that from teachers and ICT expertsviewpoints, four ICT modules: Web browsing and e-mail, Using theComputer and Managing Files, Power point and Word processor havepriority importance of education. Basic concepts of hardware and IThad second priority. Using databases and spreadsheets modules hadthe third priority. Meanwhile, skills priority in all seven modules wasdetermined.

        The present research aimed at studying the relationship between the use of ICT skills with self-directed components in students’ learning processes in Islamic Azad University, Chalus Branch. Considering the nature and purpose, it was an applied research, but it was a descriptive correlational in terms of method. The statistical population included MA level students in the major of curriculum planning, financial management, law, Persian literature and political science in 2011-2012 academic year. Among them, 200 subjects were selected through random stratified method as the sample. A researcher-made questionnaire with a reliability index of 0/775 along with a standard one relating to self-directed learning were used for data collection. Pearson correlation and regression were used to analyze the collected data. The findings showed that self-directed variations in learning can be explained by ICT components. There was also a significant correlation between familiarity with soft-ware and interest in learning among students. Manuscript profile
