Abstract: Analysis on the perception of e-learning by nursing students was conducted in a selected school’ campuses in Rwanda using the Demand-Driven Learning Model (DDLM)[1]. A quantitative survey was used based on the constructs from DDLM model (Content (PCUE); delivery (PDCE), Service (PSPE), Structure (PSOE), outcomes (POFE), and evaluation (PEDE), data from three campuses of the selected nursing school. Stratified and simple random sampling was used to select the participants. A total of 227 nursing students participated in this study. Overall the results from this study indicate a positive perception of e-learning platform based on DDLM constructs, and a significant correlation was seen between them: the content, delivery, services, outcomes, structure, and evaluation. A Pearson’s correlation was run to assess the relationship between various constructs of DDLM in e-learning platform. There were statistically significant relationships between the following constructs related to DDLM: PCUE and PDCE (r=.923, n=227, p
