The integration of technology within higher education has grown significantly due to its flexibility, which permits learners to retrieve course content and engage in academic activities from anywhere, often at their own pace. The study aimed to assess learners` attitudes at Valley View University (VVU) towards the e-learning system. The study adopted a descriptive survey technique. The target population was 296 undergraduate students at the VVU’s Oyibi campus. Copies of the questionnaire were deployed as the only data collection instrument for the study. The analysis found that many learners exhibited a negative disposition regarding the online education. Students could engage with their peers on the learning platform (Online Forum Learning Platform, OFLP) to share information and discuss issues about their studies, according to the findings. However, students occasionally faced challenges submitting assignments and downloading documents from the platform due to unstable internet connectivity. The study recommends periodic training opportunities for learners to enhance their ability to navigate e-learning platforms effectively. The study suggests promptly addressing internet-related issues to cultivate a favourable perception of e-learning among learners. For students’ studies, regular ICT staff availability is critical. This helps them meet their IT needs, particularly when engaging with e-learning platforms and tools.
