Abstract
The study examines the influence various social, psychological, and technological factors on student ICT usage motives in general and in particular e-learning using a Kashmiri university student sample (n=704). Based on the correlation analysis, it was revealed that three components of digital access (physical access, autonomy and support, and use efficacy) are positively correlated with ICT usage. Moreover, student alienation was negatively correlated with educational and capital enhancing use of ICT. Influence of gender, socio-economic status, and residential background was also analysed. The findings highlight that student ICT usage motives are significantly influenced by underlying social, personal, and technological factors. The chapter highlights that various forms of digital divides need to be seriously mitigated for successful implementation of e-learning framework in the context of higher education.
