The prospects of adopting e-learning in the Nigerian education system: a case study of Covenant University
The conventional method of education has shrunken adequate information access and
acquisition capability. However, this as further widened the educational knowledge gap. This research
study examined the prospect of adopting e-learning in the Nigerian educational system. The Unified
Theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT)modelwas utilized in other to properly investigate
the adoption of e-learning for an improved educational system in Nigeria. Adescriptive survey design was
employed, and a quantitative research method was used for data gathering and analysis. A total of 574
responses was obtainedfrom the research study respondents. The study analysis result showed that the
Average variance extracted (AVE) for actual use, behavioural intention, experience, effort expectancy,
facilitating condition, performance expectancy and social influence was
o.738,0.790,0.670,0.804,0.749,0.861,0.514 respectively, and the discriminant value for actual use,
behavioural intention, experience, effort expectancy, facilitating condition, performance expectancy and
social influence were 0.859,0.889,0.897,0.819,0.865,0.928 and 0.717 respectively. This analysis result
suggests that the research model convergent and discriminate validity were acceptable. Furthermore,
approximately 59.7% of the variance of behavioural intention (BI) to adopt eLearning was illustrated by
the PE (Performance Expectancy), EE (Effort Expectancy), and SI (Social Influence); Where R2 = 0.597.
Furthermore, about 77.5% of the variance of actual adoption (AC) of eLearning was explained by
behavioural intention (BI) to adopt eLearning Where R2 = 0.775. The result suggests that Performance
expectancy (PE), Effort Expectancy (EE) and Social Influence (SI) have a positive effect of the
behavioural intention to adopt e-Learning and the behavioral intention would lead to the actual adoption
of eLearning. Additionally, Facilitating condition (FC) and Experience (E) have a positive effect on the
actual adoption of e-Learning.The result of the research study suggests that the adoption of e-Learningin
Nigeria educational system is influenced by the ease of use, performance gain, public sway, adequate
support, and proficiency
