Abstract: This study examines the perceptions and attitudes of university students toward electronic learning (EL) during the COVID-19 pandemic, analysing the factors that influence their acceptance and engagement with online education platforms. A combination of technological, pedagogical, institutional and individual considerations has been assessed to understand the challenges and opportunities presented by the transition to EL. Factors such as performance expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, perceived usefulness and ease of use are observed to shape student acceptance. Furthermore, individual innovativeness and EL preparedness are identified as positive influences on EL adoption. The research findings highlight the importance of addressing the digital divide to ensure equitable access to EL systems and suggest that enhancing digital infrastructure, fostering digital literacy and involving students in developing EL policies could improve educational outcomes in higher education institutions.
