Collaboration is critical to the student-centred learning approach and this is a characteristic feature of the online learning system, as collaborative learning happens to be a major attraction of the online education system. This study investigated innovation in education technology and peer learning outcomes with the mediation of learners' motivation. The study used a survey research design of 217 voluntary participants from selected Universities in South-South Nigeria. Construct validity served to validate the research instrument while composite reliability served to test for reliability. The authors employed path diagram analysis of structural equation modelling in analysing the data. Findings of the path diagram analysis of the structural equation models show that development of skills to use technology has statistically significant influence on peer learning outcomes while instructional design and application of technology influence peer learning outcomes significantly through the mediation of learners' motivation.
