AB  - The assumptions that electronic learning (e-Learning) is a recent initiative is a common
misunderstanding. It can be argued that e-Learning came into existence in the 1950&#146;s. This fact has to be taken
into consideration when we think through the recent exciting innovation trends that take advantage of internet
technologies particularly in the environment of open distance learning. This study investigated issues that
affect e-Learning practices at the North-West University, Mafikeng Campus. Quantitative research
methodology and descriptive statistics were used in this study. The activity theory was used as a theory
guiding the study. The study investigated the issues affecting the use of e-Learning at the NWU.
