Abstract
The study investigated the perception of students on the adoption and challenges of e-learning platforms among undergraduates at the University of Benin. It focused on understanding how students view e-learning, the extent of its adoption, the obstacles encountered during usage, and the factors influencing their willingness to continue using such platforms. A total of two hundred (200) undergraduate students across various faculties participated in the research. Data were collected using a well-structured questionnaire and analyzed through mean and standard deviation. The stratified random sampling technique was adopted to ensure adequate representation of the different faculties within the University.
The findings of the study revealed that students hold diverse perceptions toward the use of e-learning platforms. While many students find platforms like Zoom and Microsoft Teams useful and effective for interactive learning, others expressed concerns regarding accessibility and usability. The overall adoption rate of e-learning was found to be positive, with students utilizing different platforms for academic activities and skill development. However, several challenges such as high internet data costs, poor power supply, and limited technical support were identified as significant barriers that affect students’ learning experience. Ease of use and accessibility of learning materials also played a major role in influencing students’ willingness to engage with these platforms. Based on these findings, the study concludes that e-learning adoption among students is encouraging but still faces infrastructural and technical constraints.
