The descriptive survey research design was used, and the respondents were students who were selected randomly. The main instrument was a questionnaire which was distributed to the respondents. The researcher collected 267 completed questionnaires out of a total of 326. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, frequency and statistics. The findings showed that there is an average utilization of e-learning technology among the selected Universities and several important opportunities in education at large. It is therefore recommended that the management should be interested in supporting the development of e-learning technology and be willing to recognize the challenges students face and to provide the necessary policy and practical support to help overcome these challenges if they wish to promote the use of e-learning technologies as a part of the delivery of course materials in Kampala International University.
