Abstract

Recent development in the telecommunication industry in Nigeria has brought about an unprecedented upsurge in the use of Information Technology for teaching and learning in tertiary institutions of most part of the developed countries of the world. However, the adoption and implementation of web-based course management and learning tool (Moodle) in most developing countries like Nigeria is still in the infancy. In this paper, we utilize the modified versions of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model in explaining elearning adoption in higher education in a developing country and evaluate the size and direction of the impacts of the UTAUT factors on behavioral intention and use behavior to adopt elearning in higher education. The data were obtained through a web survey of students of two universities in Nigeria and the models are estimated in a structural equations modelling framework using Lisrel 8.8. The entire UTAUT construct with their relationships are confirmed using the confirmatory test statistics. The results suggest that, it is well established that the latent variables significantly explain the Venkatesh model.
