Abstract

Background of the study: Open Educational Resources (OER) are adjudged to be of tremendous benefit to open and distance learners due to the nature of their academic programs. However, a number of factors will determine the extent to which they will use these resources. Thus, this study examined the influence of awareness, attitudes, and skills on the usage of OER by postgraduate. Purpose: this study examined the influence of awareness, attitudes, and skills on the usage of OER by postgraduate students at the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), South-South, Nigeria. Method: Four hypotheses were generated and tested to guide the study. On a population of 2,119 postgraduate students, the study used a descriptive survey design of the correlational type. Fifteen percent of the population (318) was sampled for the study. A questionnaire was used to elicit data from the respondents, and upon administration, a 95% response rate was achieved. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics (for the demographics) and inferential statistics (for the hypotheses). Findings: The results revealed that the independent variables of awareness, attitude, and skills all had a moderate individual and joint influence on the usage of OER among open and distance learners. Conclusion: The study concluded that, to stimulate the use of OER among postgraduate students, their awareness, attitude, and skills would have to be positively triggered. Consequently, recommendations were made.

Abstract

This study investigated librarians technology skills and management of electronic information resources in university libraries in south-south Nigeria. Three research questions were developed, and one null hypothesis was formulated in relation to what the study sought to find out. A structured Questionnaire entitled Librarians’ Technology Skills and Management of Electronic Information Resources Questionnaire” (LTSMEIRQ) was developed and used for data collection while three experts were engaged to validate the instrument. The reliability coefficient of the instrument was found to be 0.97 using Person Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. The questionnaire was used for collecting data from 242 respondents made of librarians in University libraries in South-South Nigeria. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive and inferential to answer the raised research questions and the formulated hypothesis. The study affirmed that librarians in University libraries in South-South Nigeria possessed high level technology skills, also the study found that relationship exists between librarians technology skills and management of electronic information resources in university libraries in south-south Nigeria. The study recommended constant upskilling and reskilling of librarians in the University to remain relevant in the scheme of global development.

Abstract

Background of the study: OER is very beneficial and its adoption and usage by Nigeria universities as recommended by the federal government through National Universities Commission was expected to transmit to national acceptance because of the benefits accrued. Unfortunately, the story is different as so many universities are yet to key into this policy. Purpose: This study investigated the quality of the system and postgraduate students' use of open educational resources in federal universities in South-West, Nigeria. The purpose of the study was to find out how postgraduate students at federal universities in South-West Nigeria used open educational resources. Method: The study's research design is a correlational survey design and includes 9,436 master's degree students as its population; using quota sampling, the sample size is 377. 377 copies of the questionnaire were given in total, and 330 of those were determined to be usable, indicating an 88% response rate. With a criterion mean of 2.50, the data was analyzed using inferential statistics to address the research objectives. Findings: As a result, the following findings were reached. In South-West Nigerian federal universities, postgraduate students have access to excellent quality open educational resources. Postgraduate students use university-based free educational resources to a very little extent. The use of Open Educational Resources (OER) by postgraduate students at universities is negatively correlated with the quality of systems. Conclusion: The study thereby recommends that OER platform providers should ensure they sustain the system quality of OER repositories in order to attract more students to its usage and there should be training and retraining such as workshops to educate the postgraduate students on how to use OER.

Abstract

Open Educational Resources (OER) are adjudged to be of tremendous benefit to open and distance learners due to the nature of their academic programs. However, the level to which they will use these resources will be determined by certain factors. Thus, this study examined the influence of awareness, attitudes, and skills on the usage of OER by postgraduate students at the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), South-South, Nigeria. Four hypotheses were generated and tested to guide the study. On a population of 2,119 postgraduate students, the study used a descriptive survey design of the correlational type.
