Nowadays, with the existence of the internet everywhere and the development of ICT at ever increasing rates, technology is incorporated virtually into all courses and affecting the outcome of education. The effect of such change in delivering education need to be investigated in all aspects, especially, in the acceptance level of E-learning since it plays a significant role in the success of E-learning.
