The advent of E-Learning is one improvement to the learning environment. Information and communications technology is credited with enabling flexible access to resources and information. E-learning has gone from being a novel concept to being universally regarded. This action research used the descriptive and experimental method of research utilizing questionnaire-checklist as a kind of procedure that involves the manipulation of conditions for the purpose of studying the relative effects of various treatments applied to the subjects of the study. The E-Portal was evaluated by ICT experts with corresponding factors such as interactive content, instructional feedback & assessment, navigation, visual design, learner guidance & support, learning strategies design, accessibility, and learnability while teacher-participants evaluated the E-Portal in terms of content, activities, usefulness and style and presentation which are all interpreted as highly acceptable respectively. The study concluded that there is a significant difference in the level of performance in World History of the learners as revealed by the pre-test and post-test results with respect to different lessons.
