Abstract: Information Communication and Technologies (ICTs) have potential to increase educational possibilities significantly. A number of nations that recognise the full benefits of ICTs have already implemented and developed them in the higher education sector, but Iraq still faces certain hurdles in this area. The aim of this study is to identify the critical factors affecting ICT adoption and satisfaction in higher education from the perspective of Iraqi students. In this study, the Online Database Adoption and Satisfaction (ODAS) model was applied, and constructs like computer self-efficacy, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, intention to use and satisfaction are speculated to be major challenges. Through exploratory factor analysis, the questionnaire's validity was tested and the relationships among the factors were identified using structural equation modelling. The results showed that Iraqi university students' computer self-efficacy had an impact on their perceived ease of use and usefulness of digital technologies.
