TECHNOLOGIES NEEDED FOR SUSTAINABLE E-LEARNING IN UNIVERSITY EDUCATION
Abstract
This study was carried out to identify technologies needed for sustainable e-learning in university education. To achieve this objective, two research questions were formulated and answered. Survey research design was used and a structured questionnaire developed for data collection. A population of 330 information managers in information system units in federal universities in Nigeria was used for the study. The questionnaire was face validated by three
experts knowledgeable in e-learning application. An internal consistency co-efficient of 0.88 was obtained using Cronbach alpha technique. Data collected from 322 of the respondents were analyzed for the study. Mean and standard deviation were used in data analysis. The findings of the study revealed 13 communication technologies and 12 course management technologies
needed for sustainable e-leaning in university education. It was therefore recommended that the administrations of university education should make the identified technologies sufficiently available in order to sustain e-learning.
