The integration of Learning Management Systems (LMS) into classroom instruction at the Nigerian universities is a defining feature of modern education systems; the advent of digital technology in general and LMS in particular have transformed the traditional teaching methods into more interactive and innovative process which revolutionizes the way knowledge is disseminated and acquired. This study therefore, measures how far students accept using LMS as a medium of teaching and learning based on their usage experience. The study adopts a correlational approach leveraging on the established Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to examine perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEOU) and how the two cumulate into their attitude toward using LMS which is considered as Web-Based e-learning environment in this study and eventually their behavioural intention to use this innovative technology considering other variables. Appropriate statistical tools of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) such as frequency distribution, correlational analysis and T-test are used to draw necessary inferences. The population for this study are students of the University of Ilorin Centre for Open and Distance Learning whose sole medium of instruction is the University LMS with the total population of 210 students and proportional sample of 90 students (P=0.43). Regression analysis performed with the following findings: PEOU has a significant influence on PU; PU has a significant influence on attitude towards using LMS; PU has a significant influence on Behavioural Intention (BI) to use LMS; Attitude towards using LMS has a significant positive influence on BI to use LMS.
