Lifelong learning is considered as one of the important indicators of our future development of the society where the change is constant and rapid. The change of emphasis in Albanian educational policies to promote teaching/ learning through IT technology is a remarkable outcome in itself. But what is its role and how is it used in education process for consolidating knowledge? The studies are based on a research and provide answers to the above mentioned questions, and require a great concern for reshuffling the education system be that in high school or universities. Our study is an empirical one and doesn’t aim at absolutizing the role of technologies, but it considers them as a means of consolidating and exchanging the achieved knowledge. The findings indicate ways of how to infuse these concepts into teaching process; by encouraging students` choices of where and when to study and at what rate; it highlights as well the circumstances, which dictate the teachers` education for updating teaching methods. The study ends in recommendations and conclusions. Keywords: Information and communication technology, independent learning, university didactic, knowledge. 1. INTRODUCTION In our daily life, the wide use of technology is one of the characteristics which are part of Albanian students’ everyday activities. The contradiction lays here when the means of technology are so complex, (Internet, information programs, electronic mail and above all social networks) only few of them are used in the teaching/ learning process. On the other hand, despite the fact that some of these technologies are used as a means of information, the professors at the universities show great interests to these technological opportunities for perceiving competences and skills and creating a diversity in the teaching process and students` learning styles. In spite of the fact, they are pretty conscious that they prepare students for the future still exist some of concepts that technology is far from learning and profound knowledge. The use of information technology and communication asks for a special attitude in education process, so, different information knowledge that the students’ gain by using internet does not only upgrade their knowledge but also their practices in the field of their studies. The study highlights that living in times of technology; the social change would have direct impact in their workplace and the living conditions. The most valuable outcome of all education as Thomas H. Huxley points out is the ability to make yourself do things you have to do, when they ought to be done, despite you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; however early human's training begins, it is probably the last lesson he learns thoroughly. Therefore, preparing
