Abstract

The main goal of this research is to find out about the Indian society's attitudes towards e-learning held by a sample of 100 volunteers in Kanpur city of Uttar Pradesh. A questionnaire based on the newly developed e-learning scale was used to gather the data. The results show that there are significant differences in the attitudes toward e-learning based on educational level. On the other hand, the results show no differences in the attitudes towards e-learning based on volunteers’ gender. Also, the study exposes that Indian students generally have good attitudes towards e-learning. The study deeply discusses factors associated with the attitudes towards e-learning in India. This study contributes to the literature on e-learning studies by systematically measuring the attitudes towards e-learning in Kanpur city.
