Abstract: E-learning is the term given to a method of schooling and learning environment in which students and teachers, or others interested in the exchanging of knowledge, do not interact physically but are separated by time, space, or both. The distance is bridged with the help of communication technology, including the Internet and emergent educational technologies. This study focused on the effectiveness of E-learning technologies on the performance of CSS (Computer Systems Servicing) Students of TESDA accredited training centers in Kalinga Province, Philippines. A quasi-experimental design or the pre-test – post-test equivalent groups design was used to determined E-learning technology's effectiveness in the teaching-learning process. The researcher used moodle platform in conducting online training. It was found out that e-learning is more effective in the learning process than the traditional method. This is supported by the experimental and control group's computed mean score, which is 31.38 and 22.67 respectively. This is similar to the findings of Novo-Corti, Varela-Candamio, and Ramil-Diaz (2013) that there is an increase in students' performance (grades and qualifications) when using the hybrid technology of e-learning.

Keywords: E-learning, CSS NC II Trainees, Accredited Training Centers, TESDA.
