Abstrakt: The electronic learning (e-learning) as a mode of teaching and learning has come to stay in the history of tertiary institutions in Nigeria, but due to several challenges confronting its technological operations in the country, e-learning is yet to be fully implemented in the teaching and learning processes in Nigeria, including the teaching and learning of accounting. This study therefore ascertained the strategies that could be used to improve the utilization of elearning in the teaching and learning of accounting in tertiary institutions. Census survey research design was used for the study. The population of the study comprised all final year accounting students from tertiary institutions in Anambra State. A total of 116 final year accounting students made up of 62 males and 54 females were used for the study. A questionnaire which was validated by three experts with a reliability coefficient of 0.76 was the instrument for data collection. Data collected were analysed using mean and standard deviation for the research questions and z-test for the hypotheses. Findings revealed that provision of adequate IT support and stable internet facilities among others were strategies for improving the utilization of e-learning. Also, there was no significant difference in the mean ratings of the respondents on the strategies considered effective for improving the utilization of e-learning. It was therefore recommended among others that individual effort should be made by the accounting teachers and their students to acquire ICT competencies necessary for effective utilization of e-learning in the teaching and learning of accounting.
