Abstract	The purpose of this study is to develop a conceptual framework to examine Ghanaian higher education students' adoption of ICTs for learning. The study reviewed the theoretical and empirical literature on technology adoption, to develop a conceptual framework to investigate Ghanaian higher education students' adoption of ICT for learning. The study identified 5 exogenous variables (performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions and ergonomic factors), 2 endogenous factors (behavioural intention and use behaviour), 2 mediating variables (health issues and satisfaction) and 5 moderating variables (age, gender, experience, voluntariness of use and educational level). The study will be useful to administrators and policy makers in higher education to help with understanding and development of the best measures to arouse Ghanaian students' interest to adopt ICTs for learning and research. The conceptual framework extended the UTAUT, with health issues and satisfaction as variables mediating the relationship between ergonomic factors and students' behavioural intention to use ICT for learning and research.
