Given that the educational sector was particularly hard hit in most countries around the world during the Covid-19 pandemic, the study employs an extended UTAUT2 to investigate student use and satisfaction with e-learning in a developing country setting. We employed partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) on 616 data responses gathered online from university students during the pandemic to evaluate our integrated model. This paper found that not all the predictors of the UTAUT2 model were statistically significant in predicting behavioural intention. Our results revealed that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and facilitating conditions, as predictors, have no influence on various outcomes relating to the behavioural intention to use e-learning. The study also found that e-learning interaction quality predicts student satisfaction. Other theoretical and practical implications are also detailed in our study.
