Abstract

The integration of online learning applications has become an indispensable innovation in 21st-century education. Platforms such as Zoom, Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, and Canvas have facilitated internet-based learning, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the extent to which students adopt and effectively use these tools remains uneven. This study investigated undergraduate students’ awareness, perceived ease of use, and self-efficacy in using online learning applications across universities in Oyo State, Nigeria. A descriptive survey design was employed, involving 270 undergraduate students selected through simple random sampling from three purposively chosen universities. Data were collected using a researcher-designed questionnaire, validated and tested for reliability (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.76). Descriptive statistics (mean scores) and inferential statistics (independent sample t-test) were used for data analysis. Findings revealed that students’ awareness of online learning applications was high (M = 2.64), and their perceived ease of use was positive (M = 2.63). However, their self-efficacy in using these applications was low (M = 1.90), indicating a gap between recognition and confident usage. This suggests that despite being familiar with digital platforms, many students still lack the confidence and skills needed to navigate them effectively. No significant gender difference was found in students’ self-efficacy levels (p = .42, p > .05). The study concludes that while awareness and perceived usability are encouraging, students' confidence in using online learning tools remains inadequate. It recommends enhanced access to digital infrastructure and targeted capacity-building workshops to improve self-efficacy and maximize the benefits of online learning.

Abstract

The Fourth Industrial Revolution, driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI), is profoundly reshaping global landscapes, particularly education. This study investigated the awareness and readiness levels of undergraduate students regarding AI for learning within Kwara State universities, Nigeria, a region critically under-researched in this evolving discourse. Employing a quantitative survey research design, data were collected from 300 undergraduate students across selected private and government-owned universities using a questionnaire with a 4-point Likert scale. Mean scores determined awareness and readiness levels, while independent samples t-tests analyzed differences based on gender and university ownership. Key findings revealed a high overall level of AI awareness (Grand Mean = 2.71) and a high level of readiness to use AI for learning (Grand Mean = 2.66) among the students. Notably, the study found no statistically significant difference in AI awareness between male and female students (t = -0.82, p = 0.35). Similarly, there was no significant difference in AI readiness between students from private-owned and government-owned universities (t = -0.63, p = 0.27). These findings suggest a promising foundation for AI integration in Nigerian higher education, indicating that students are largely aware and prepared to embrace AI tools. The study contributes empirically to the limited literature on AI in education within Sub-Saharan Africa, offering valuable insights for policymakers and educators to strategically advance AI integration and foster a future-ready generation of graduates.
