| 520 | |a Although the use of ICT in higher education is common in developed countries, many developing countries are still lagging behind due to a myriad of challenges. In some developing countries, these challenges have been identified and efforts have been made to address them. In Nigeria, however, the challenges hindering the use of ICT and the status of students' e-learning readiness are still not well established. Thus, this research was conducted to investigate the challenges hindering the use of ICT and the e-learning readiness of undergraduate students of Northern Nigeria. Bayero University Kano, one of the largest University in Northern Nigeria, was selected as a case study. Descriptive research design was adopted and a questionnaire was used to collect data from the respondents. The findings of the study revealed that the students are ready to adopt e-learning based on responses gathered on performance expectancy, effort expectancy and social influence. Peer group, family and institutional encouragement in the form of social influence are also observed, though few complaints were recorded on the poor institutional support. The main challenges identified include poor power supply, lack of access to internet, insufficient knowledge and skills, lack of institutional support and financial constraints. The study also revealed no significant differences between gender and e-learning readiness. However, there were significant differences between the faculties and level of study in terms of the students' readiness to adopt e-learning. It can be concluded that despite the challenges hindering the adoption of the e-learning in the University, the e-learning readiness of the students is very high. Thus, it is necessary for the University and other stakeholders to put more effort towards addressing these challenges so that e-learning can be effectively adopted. | ||
