This study examined the benefits and limiting factors of e-learning for technical drawing in Edo State Model Secondary schools by analyzing the perceptions of technical teachers and students using descriptive survey research design. The population of this study consisted of 2,500 students and 16 technical teachers. Purposive random sampling technique was used in the selection of 1000 students and all the 91 technical teachers were used as subjects of the study. A 30-item questionnaire with an internal consistency of 0.68 yielded by Cronbach alpha applied on results of 40 subjects outside the sample was used to collect data. Mean statistic was used to answer the research questions while t-test was used to test the hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. Findings revealed that technical drawing teachers and students were aware of the benefits derivable from the use of e-learning for technical drawing but identified poverty, insufficient ICT facilities, deficient pre-service preparation of teachers in e-learning technologies as limiting factors in the use of e-learning approach for teaching and learning of technical drawing. Recommendations include among others: the re-curriculation of technical teacher education programmes to imbibe heavy doses of e-learning technologies, special budgetary provisions for e-learning technologies in schools, as well as erection of technical drawing studios.
