Abstract

E-learning is a technology which enables to deliver information via the internet for teaching and learning, and still needs to be studied. The main objective of this study is to review the present adoption of E-learning technology in higher education sectors. This study provides an idea to the researchers about the prior studies on the adoption of E-learning technology. A few studies on the adoption of E-learning technology which have been carried out in both developed and developing countries are also indicated. There is high potential in developing countries' for use of technology especially in higher education sector. Future studies should investigate the factors that could affect the adoption of E-learning technology in both developing and developed countries.

Keywords
