Abstract

This paper analyses e-learning resources in the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) using Abeokuta study center. Survey research method was adopted for this study. A questionnaire was designed and used to collect data for this study. A sample of 150 respondents was randomly selected from the final year students in the six schools of the University. It was limited to 500 level students who had used the electronic connectivity for e-learning and could attest to the functionality of the facilities. The finding indicates that the majority of the respondents affirmed that e-learning resources were available for use, accessible, used for their class assignments and to search for information that are germane to their academic work. The study reported irregularity in power supply and constant breaking down of the server. Recommendation was made that competent computer operator’s engineers and analyst should be employed for proper maintenance of equipment for efficient service delivery. The paper was analyzed using means, standard deviation and descriptive percentages.
