Therefore, this paper focusesonthe investigation ofstudents, who attempt to successfully adopt e-learning systems atuniversitiesin Jordan.The conceptual research framework of e-learning adoption, w hichis used in the analysis,is based on the technology acceptance model.Thestudy also providesan indicator of students'acceptance ofe-learningas well asidentifyingthe importantfactorsthat would contribute toits successful use. The outcomeswill enrich the understanding ofstudents'acceptance of e-learning andwill assistin itscontinuing implementationatJordanian Universities
