dc.description.abstractThis paper investigates learner experiences of e-learning mode in Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL) through a survey which was conducted in three public Universities. Through purposive sampling a questionnaire was distributed online to 300 students and 198 students responded. Based on descriptive analysis it was noted that students still preferred e-learning mode because of its convenience and flexibility. However, students still experienced some challenges such as inadequate lecturer facilitation, inadequate learning materials, lack of feedback from instructors, slow internet connectivity, and high internet rates. There was also significant difference between (i) gender ( =0.021), (ii) Age ( =0.030) and (iii) programme level ( =0.001) and students’ attitude towards e-learning mode. In view of these challenges students suggested that e-learning facilitators should; avail adequate quality learning materials, interact with students more frequently, introduce other modes of delivery such as U tube, Skype, and Video, increase internet bandwidth and consider introducing more courses online.en_US
