Abstract

Recently, technology and social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic have affected all members of society; babies, kids, young people, families, and academic institutes all around the world. Academic institutes are one of those affected by the pandemic and are facing challenges in keeping the education process in place. In order to keep the education system running at its capacity, academic institutions have had to quickly find solutions to adapt to the situation and overcome delays in many approaches and systems. Advancements in web technologies and the increased influence of the World Wide Web are leading to new and innovative ways of learning. New e-learning system technologies and services enable activities that allow users to be active learners, actively participating in the online learning process. The objective of this paper is to examine the acceptance of technology in education from the perspective of students and to raise points on students’ levels. The methodology used is a self-reported survey and the PLA approach to confirm the findings. The main finding was that gender is not affecting the acceptance of eLearning technology in higher education, and students in higher education do not accept eLearning as the mainstay of their education. They can accept it as a way of communication but not as a way of education. They need the face-to-face and interaction approach.
