Abstract
This study was carried out to ascertain the availability and extent of utilization of e-learning in
Computer Education programme for instructional delivery. Three research questions and one null
hypothesis were formulated to guide the study. The study adopted descriptive survey research
approach. The population for the study was 22 lecturers. This comprised of 13 male and 9 female
lecturers from the Department of Computer Education, University of Nigeria, Nsukka and Department
of Computer Education, The College of Education Nsukka. No sampling was done since the
population size was considered manageable by the researchers. The instrument used for the study is
a structured questionnaire of 4-point rating scale type made up 33 questionnaire items. The
instrument was validated by three experts from the department of Computer and Robotics Education,
University of Nigeria, Nsukka. Data collected was analyzed using percentage, mean, and standard
deviation to answer the research questions, while t-test for independent samples was used to test the
hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. The findings on the research question one indicated
availability of 2 e-learning tools such as computers and projectors out of 10 items while others are
such as radio, Television among others are not adequately available, The findings on the research
question two indicated that all the 10 items were moderately utilized which included computers and
printers among others, The findings on the research question three indicated that 12 out 13 items
were accepted as a barrier to e-learning utilization and these included inadequate skilled lecturers and
poor power supply, among others while the findings on testing the hypothesis indicated that there is
no significance difference in the mean ratings of the responses of male and female lecturers on the
extent of utilization of e-learning in Computer Education programme for instruction delivery. It was
recommended among others that, Lecturers should be sent for in-service training, seminars and
workshops on how to incorporate e-learning mode of instruction to their teaching-learning processes.
