INTRODUCTION
For an educator, teaching and learning activities are the main activities in their daily activities, with teaching and learning activities will provide experience and the development of knowledge (Y. Kumar & Singh, 2019;Reyna et al., 2018;Shao et al., 2018). In teaching and learning activities, an educator must create a pleasant learning atmosphere for students because a less pleasant learning atmosphere for students will make the learning and teaching activities less conducive and effective. (S. Kumar et al., 2020;Mousavi et al., 2020;Vitry et al., 2020). Educator it is required to make the learning atmosphere more attractive, which will make learning more enjoyable and even entertain the students to achieve the learning goals so that the students can more easily learn and understand the material taught by the educators.
Most students are students of Islamic cultural history subjects, often called subjects that are less attractive to most students (Fathi et al., 2020;Ortiz et al., 2019;Schröder et al., 2019). this is much influenced by the unpleasant learning process an educator and the lack of creativity of an educator in the learning and teaching process when interacting with the students being taught (Castillo-Vergara et al., 2018;Haase et al., 2018;Rosengren et al., 2020). This Islamic cultural history material is characteristic of past Islamic material that is delivered and even to be told just like that using only the lecture method. This kind of learning model makes students sit quietly and listen to what is conveyed by educators and makes a student's thinking, creativity, and comprehension less than optimal, and causes deficiencies in the learning process. For that, different methods are used by using developing technology. Fast at the moment.
The question of learning the history of Islamic culture that has the nature of normative historical material, and without providing a learning strategy that can bring the material to life, it will be difficult for students to understand the material and so far, the expansion of the history of Islamic culture so far (Gong et al., 2019;Gutierrez et al., 2019;Lau et al., 2019). not interesting enough to make the student bored with the history of Islamic culture in the 21st century, which is called the digital era, will be a challenge in itself in the world of education (Montag & Elhai, 2019;Starkey, 2020;van Leent & Mills, 2018). An educator with Information and communication technology facilitates the interaction of educators and students to help students learn optimally. Information and communication technology makes it easier for students, especially students, to understand the learning material being taught quickly.
At this time, information and communication technology plays a vital role for an educator in learning the history of Islamic culture (Bovea et al., 2018;Martin et al., 2019;Sulistiyarini & Sabirin, 2018). what are the benefits of this information and communication technology? Has advantages and disadvantages in the learning process of Islamic cultural history. Where the advantages are that it is straightforward to attract students to like learning the history of Islamic culture and make the learning process more conducive and effective, and the drawbacks are one of them is to use of information technology and The communication is in a direction that is not useful and is not helpful in ongoing learning activities (Briñol et al., 2018;Ismail et al., 2018;Oliveira et al., 2018). The impact of the lack of Information and communication technology can certainly be overcome by supervising educators on students who use Information and communication technology in their daily lives, especially in the ongoing learning process. So far, Islamic culture's history seems less exciting and even dull. Educators can change the history of Islamic culture to be fun and entertaining using today's technology (Amspoker et al., 2019;Grant, 2018;Novack et al., 2018). To overcome the boredom of students and create new effects in the learning process of Islamic cultural history, educators in delivering material should try to be creative and innovate new things in the teaching and learning process by utilizing technology as a learning medium. (Elahi et al., 2018;Jenkins et al., 2020;Pukfukdee et al., 2020). Then learning the history of Islamic culture will help me better understand history and events that have happened for a very long time. Moreover, more acceptable in visualization by using Information and communication technology so that it can be accepted and easily understood by students. For this reason, the use of information and communication technology in learning the history of Islamic culture is essential to be applied in teaching and learning activities.
Through the experience of an educator the learning styles of a student are different, here the concept of using technology in learning is born in the current development of science and technology which creates a learning paradigm towards technology-based learning (Budianto et al., 2021;Kurniati et al., 2019). educators are technology in learning the history of Islamic culture so that they are not left behind in current technological developments in obtaining Information on learning materials that educators will teach and also for students to understand the material being taught by educators quickly. Moreover, educators and students can utilize Information and communication technology to learn the history of Islamic culture. A student interested in something other than the history of Islamic culture becomes interested in the history of Islamic culture. The findings of this study are followed up, and further researchers can research to continue and be able to describe the benefits of information and communication technology in learning the history of Islamic culture in the world of education, significantly higher education.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

The techniques used by educators and students became research subjects (Gustia et al., 2018). the results of this study were that several educators and students could fill out the Google form questionnaire distributed by the researchers. Looking at the questionnaire results, it can be seen that educators and students at the university have filled in the questionnaire; more in-depth interviews were conducted with some students to get more robust data (Tandi et al., 2020). Researchers collected data using the survey method, namely by making a Google questionnaire about the use of information and communication technology in learning the history of Islamic culture. Then the researcher shared the link with the Google questionnaire from it. The contents of the questions in the questionnaire relate to the use of information and communication technology in learning the history of Islamic culture. After obtaining the results of the survey, the researchers conducted in-depth interviews with students regarding the benefits of information and communication technology in learning Islamic cultural history to obtain more accurate data.
The data collected from the research results are then presented using a quantitative method by presenting in a table the Information obtained by calculating the presentation of each question given by the researcher in Google, which is filled in by several educators and students (Imron, 2019). The percentages obtained are presented with the researchers' thoughts in tabular form and then discussed with the opinions of previous researchers whose thoughts are very relevant. In this study, the researcher narrated the researcher's opinion and developed it with the conclusions obtained by the previous researcher. Finally, researchers can conclude the results of a survey conducted by researchers on students in educational institutions to achieve accurate goals in this study. Information and communication technology will use the research results in Islamic cultural history lessons.

RESULT AND DISCUSSION
