Abstract: This study was conducted in three Universities to determine the effects of e-learning status on academic staff performance amongst selected tertiary institutions in Benue State. These were purposively restricted to degree awarding institutions in the State to achieve uniformity in subjects responses. Total number of respondents’ selected using random selection were 263. The population of this study embraced the entire 692, 420 and 205 teaching Staff of Federal University of Agriculture Makurdi, Benue State University and University of Mkar respectively from the rank of Assistant lecturer to that of professor. Data for the study were collected from primary sources through the aid of a structured questionnaire. Using multi stage sampling technique; a proportion of 20% from each University was selected giving 138, 84 and 41 academic staff for Federal University of Agriculture Makurdi, Benue State University and University of Mkar respectively to give a total sample of 263 respondents. The study found that, though the utilization of e-learning enhances academic staff performance it’s very much depends on the staff computer literacy, competence, self-interest and available logistics’ in the institutions. The study’s findings imply that e-learning as a strategy for enhancing academic performance needs to be given attention in infrastructures, logistics, improvement in funding and capacity building of staff from its present low status through policies.
