Disruptions to daily life and business have occurred in nearly every part of the world due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Multiple sectors, including the educational system, have been hit particularly hard. This study focuses on adopting e-learning by students and explores how it can effectively change the old-style classroom environment. Adopting an approach based on the technology acceptance paradigm, the research aims to investigate the e-learning adoption level among students. The study was conducted on 200 students in the art and design faculty at Universitas Negeri Makassar and used e-learning LMS SYAM-OK. The research examined students' intentions to adopt and use online learning in the future can impact their perceptions of the usefulness and ease of technology. The data were analyzed using the SEM methods with IBM AMOS software. The results of the study indicate that there is a significant impact between the variables of AB to BI (coefficient of 0.514; p < 0.01) and BI to AU (coefficient of 0.617; p < 0.01) of online education platforms during the pandemic. Students are intensely interested in utilizing the e-learning system when they have favorable attitudes. The success or failure of an e-learning program depends on the student's mindset. An individual's opinion of a system is shaped by their experience, particularly its accessibility and practicality. The perceived utility influences the number of individuals willing to return to using e-learning and use it.
