Abstract:
The use of eLearning is changing teaching and learning processes from the sage on the
stage to the guide on the side approach. Students can easily access their study materials on
an eLearning platform regardless of time and space through digital means. In this research,
Post Graduate students of the College of Distance Education (CoDE) of the university of
Cape Coast, offering Business and Education programmes were assessed on their readiness
for the use of the College of Distance Education’s eLearning platform. A total number of 60
students enrolled for the 2015-2016 Academic Year using the eLearning platform were
sampled for the study. A questionnaire was administered to all of the students to assess their
perceived self efficacy in the use of ICT tools, their attitude towards eLearning and the
perceived barriers to the use of an eLearning platform. Research findings showed that most
students had a positive attitude towards the use of ICT tools and were ready to use the
eLearning platform.
