Abstract
Although the advent of E-Learning Technologies presents the best cost effective strategy to
teaching and learning, the success of these innovations primarily depends on their adoption.
Investment in E-Learning Technologies alone by different institutions/organizations is not
enough as its full benefits can only be realized from their full utilization. E-Learning
Technologies if well utilized have the capacity to enhance students critical thinking, eliminate
geographical barriers, support lifelong learning, reduce costs and increase efficiency at education
institutions. E-Learning Technologies are technologies which are based on the backbone of ICT
infrastructure. For this reason the Information & Communication Technology adoption models
are useful in explaining E-Learning Technologies adoption. A number of models/theories which
explain and predict user behaviors and intentions to adopt technologies have been advanced. For
this discussion the following models were selected and analyzed, Theory of Reasoned Action
(TRA), the origin technology acceptance model (TAM), the TOE framework & the revised TAM
model.
