An Assessment of Challenges of e-Learning Utilization by University Undergraduates in Ogun State, Nigeria

Abstract

This study assessed the challenges of e-learning utilisation by university
undergraduates in Ogun State, Nigeria. Survey type of descriptive research
design was used in the study. 381 undergraduates were randomly selected
from three Universities in Ogun State. A questionnaire with test-retest
reliability coefficient of value 0.88 was used for data collection. The
researcher used frequencies, percentages, mean and t-test for data analysis.
Findings from the study revealed that all the fifteen challenges investigated in
the study affect e- learning utilization by university undergraduates in Ogun
State, Nigeria in varying degrees. The foremost factor is money to purchase e-
learning devices followed by limited electricity supply. Moreover, significant
difference was found in the challenges of e-learning utilization by university
undergraduates on the basis of gender (t= .796, df = 397, P > 0.05). It was
recommended that all the identified challenges affecting the e-learning
utilisation by university undergraduates in Ogun State, Nigeria should be
addressed by the government and other stakeholders in education.
