Dr. S. U. Agbo

Abstract
The study sought to determine the contributions of e-learning technology resources in business education instructional delivery in Nigeria Universities. Two research questions and two null hypotheses guided the study using a descriptive survey research design. The population for the study comprised 81 lecturers who teach business education in the Federal and State Universities in Enugu and Anambra States. A 25 item structured questionnaire was used for data collection using a four-point rating scale. Three experts from the Department of Business Education and two experts from the Department of Computer and Robotics Education, University of Nigeria, Nsukka subjected the questionnaire to face validation. A reliability coefficient of 0.95 was obtained from Cronbach Alpha Reliability formula. 60 copies of the questionnaire were administered while 57 copies were collected and analyzed using mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions. The null hypotheses were tested using t-test statistic at 0.05 level of probability. It was found that e-learning technology resources did not contribute to large extent in business education instructional delivery in the universities, because of lack of qualified staff in the area of e-learning application, as well as lack of ICT and e-learning facilities and infrastructure in the universities. It was recommended that lecturers should be trained and retrained for them to be abreast with the developments in e-learning technology.
