Abstract
Several studies claimed that the benefits of online learning cannot be ignored, the statement yet endorsed in most of the developing countries. However, this current study compared online learning acceptance within the context of two developing international locations. Technology acceptance model adopted to recommend and compare impediments to learning through the use of technology among learners in Nigeria and Philippines. Version three of SmartPls utilized as the statistical instrument to scrutinize over 1300 respondents. Hypothesized; the impact of electric power, technical resources, simple to use and perceived usefulness on learning through the technology found significant. Furthermore, the total variance explained of 53% for Nigeria and a total of 50 % variance explained achieved in the case of the Philippines. Impact of electric power regressed on the simple to use also supported in both models. Thus, replication of this study might also increase the generalizability of the results achieved.
