Self-directed learning heavily depends on Technology to be effective. Most universities were used to conventional face-to-face learning, but uncertainties like the covid-19 pandemic have challenged this teaching and learning mode, thus pushing universities to explore innovative learning approaches to ensure seamless learning. One such approach is Technology-enhanced self-directed learning. Most developed countries are endowed with enabling infrastructure to actualize this learning approach. However, most developing countries like Kenya are still struggling to adopt self-directed learning due to technological, organizational, and environmental challenges. A framework is needed to guide its adoption. A survey research design using an online questionnaire with a sample size of 572 was used.Four Kenyan public university students participated in the study. Data was collected and analyzed using Exploratory Factor Analysis. Principle component analysis extracted seven factors explaining a total variance of 62.5%. The factors were renamed based on a shared theme, and the average factor loading for each construct was calculated. A percentage weight of each construct was also calculated. Key factors forming the constructs of Technology-enhanced self-directed learning were: E-learning infrastructure, bring your own device policy, Connectivity infrastructure, ICT Competencies, Information security, demographic factors, and laptop ownership programenSelf-directed learningBring your own device (BYOD)exploratory factor analysistechnology-enhanced self-directed learningArticle
