Abstract

The subject of this study was students' adoption of e-learning platforms in Uganda and Nigeria. The study's goal was to look at the elements that influence students' adoption of e-learning platforms. The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) were used to create a questionnaire (T-O-E). In Uganda and Nigeria, data was obtained from 204 university students. When compared to Makerere University students, Kaduna State University students exhibit a higher level of e-Learning adoption. The actual use of e-learning was highly linked with perceived behavioural control and change agents. At the University of Nigeria, Technology development and behavioural intention to utilise systems have a substantial positive relationship with the actual use of e-learning at a Ugandan institution. Both planned behaviour theory and technology-organization-environment theory components are significant predictors of e-Learning adoption in the two universities, with 32.5 percent and 14.4 percent, respectively, according to multiple regression analyses. As a result, colleges should establish a technology environment that encourages students to use e-learning.
