description E-portfolio has received a great deal of attention in the past ten years. E-portfolio is an effective tool for teaching and learning involving students and lecturers supported by the faculty’s feedback. In line with this attention, the integrated components making connections between students and lecturers result further improvement on academic E-portfolio perspective. Lecturers’ performance has the capability of being evaluated and monitored across multi disciplines. However, in higher education a number of issues may arise with the usage of E-portfolio such as the resistance of technology acceptance and adoption. The main objective of this research is to investigate the lecturers’ E-portfolio acceptance in higher education. An E-portfolio acceptance model was proposed which adopts a combination of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Diffusion of Innovation Theory (DoI).
