The concept of Open educational resources (OER) is gaining grounds globally. However, different regions face different obstacles to OER adoption, policies and experiences. Unfortunately, Africa has continued to trail behind the rest of the world in the adoption of OERs. A number of factors have been adduced from literature ranging from lack of awareness; absence of policies, infrastructural deficits among others with total absence of literature on the fit of the existing technologies being used and, how these technologies fit and affects utilization, satisfaction and performance impacts. This work adopted the TUSPEM model as a theoretical framework to assess the causal relationship between five constructs namely Task Technology Fit, social norms, utilization, satisfaction and performance impacts. Through a quantitative research approach, snowballing sampling was adopted to identify 123 respondents from a Nigerian University. Smart PLS was used to analyze the dataset. The results showed strong support for relationships between TTF and satisfaction, with a stronger relationship from the "post usage satisfaction" dimension to performance than from TTF to performance. By implication, in a voluntary usage context, TTF and user satisfaction are critical predicting performance.
