Abstract: The study aimed to explore the correlations between motivating factors and the adoption of e-learning technologies for practical skill training in Nigerian technical and vocational institutions.A total of 205 academic staff from three tertiary institutions in Rivers State was included in the study.Two instruments were used for data collection: Determinants Factors Scale and Adoption of E-learning Inventory Scale.The instruments were validated by three experts and pilot-tested on a representative sample of 30 respondents.The reliability of the instruments was established using the Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient formula.The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson Product Moment Correlation and t-test.The study found a high positive relationship between behavioral intentions, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and social influences and the adoption of e-learning in technical and vocational education.However, there was a low positive relationship between facilitating conditions and e-learning adoption.The study recommends regular training and workshops on e-learning to encourage instructors and increase their interest in adopting e-learning.Management should invest heavily in technology to improve its availability and use by staff.
