Abstract
Technology has recently become a major component of the educational field
and learning process as it provides students with opportunities to learn more effectively
and operate efficiently in this age of technological advances. The study has identified
the factors among students that can enable or inhibit students from using online
learning platforms. Based on the theoretical foundation, the factors influencing elearning are environmental, organizational, technological (smart-device use), subjective
norms, self-efficacy, accessibility and flexibility. User adoption of e-learning is greatly
influenced by the strength and dependability of the underlying information technology
infrastructure. The present state of e-learning in universities and the results of previous
studies on the topic are also described.
