Abstract
E-learning has become an increasingly popular learning approach in higher education due to the rapid growth of internet technologies. E-learning is a shift from traditional mode of learning or training to a more personalized, flexible, self-organized, collaborative ICT-based community of learners. Hence, its use otherwise referred to as e-learning engagement is described as the measure of behaviour students display or effort applied while participating in a technology mediated learning. Today, the disruption of learning caused by Covid-19, incessant strikes, insecurity leading to closure of schools etc has more than ever necessitated its adoption in research learning areas like grant writing, synopsis writing, instrumentation, research design and publication. Perhaps, effective utilization of e-learning is seen to be influenced by a number of factors hence the perceived poor performance of postgraduate students in research. Thus, the major purpose of this study was to determine the ICT skills, e-learning engagement and learners' interest as correlates of students' performance in Research Method in universities in Enugu State. Findings of the study confirm that for a better academic performance to be achieved, students' active engagement in e-learning is crucial. By using linear regression analysis, the study verified that significant relationship exists between the level of e-learning engagement and students' academic achievement in research method. It was therefore recommended, among others, that the Ministry of Education should adequately fund higher institutions in Nigeria towards incorporating e-learning resources and platforms such as cloud learning, blended learning models, mobile learning, MOOCS, among other required to create continuous learning that meets learners' interests and aspirations in this knowledge driven economy.
