Numerous socioeconomic factors impact the adoption and implementation of e-learning in higher education institutions in developing nations, posing both opportunities and obstacles. The thesis is titled "Socioeconomic Influences on the Teaching in E-Learning in Higher Education in Developing Countries: Barriers and Facilitators." A Case Study of Lagos, Nigeria" investigates these variables and how they affect teachers' use of e-learning in Lagos' higher education establishments. Based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), this study investigates how educators' adoption of e-learning technologies is influenced by social influences, perceived utility, and perceived ease of use.Data was acquired through interviews with educators, administrators, and students using a qualitative research design. The results show that even while e-learning has a lot to offer education, there are several barriers to its widespread adoption, including low technological infrastructure, restricted access to digital materials, and differing degrees of digital literacy among teachers and students. The way technological, organizational, and environmental elements interact to shape the adoption of e-learning is highlighted by the study's analytical framework. This study offers a comprehensive knowledge of the obstacles and enablers of e-learning in Lagos by operationalizing the theoretical ideas from TAM and UTAUT. To close the digital divide and promote inclusive e-learning settings, the findings highlight the necessity of focused interventions, such as improved infrastructure, all-encompassing digital literacy programs, and encouraging institutional policies. This thesis adds to the body of knowledge by providing empirical insights into the unique obstacles and enablers of e-learning in the context of developing nations. It offers doable suggestions on improving e-learning implementation and using technology to improve educational outcomes in Lagos and other comparable contexts for legislators, educational leaders, and stakeholders.
