Analysis of the Technological Readiness of Nigerian Tertiary Institutions Undergraduates for Finnish E-Learning Courses. Case studies: Tertiary Institutions in Lagos
Research summary
To identify technological readiness of developing countries for E-Learning, to estimate the metrics for measuring technological readiness of Nigerian Universities Undergraduates for Finnish E-Learning Courses, to report what undergraduates say about their readiness for E-Learning which can assist them achieve the academic outcomes, to track trends of student behaviors, attitudes and perception about E-Learning, benchmark what devices of theirs, they prefer for E-Learning studies and to find out which courses would be most attractive to Nigerian university students via E-learning and finally to establish which resources, such as staff and facilities that would be needed to support E-Learning
