Abstract

The purpose of this study is to assess the readiness of Quezon City University (QCU) on e-learning as perceived and experienced of its students and instructors. Design of this study is a descriptive-survey. A total of fifty-three (53) students and eighteen (18) instructors participated in the survey. To achieve the desired sample, incidental sampling was employed. The survey consists of questions in relation to the readiness of the respondents and the university on the implementation of e-learning technology and it is divided into four main parts or areas. To determine if there is statistically significant difference between the responses of the respondents, chi-square test was used with 0.01 levels of significance. The study revealed that both students and instructors agreed that they are ready enough to utilize e-learning technology and that e-learning technology is beneficial and useful for both of them. On the other hand, the instructors and students disagree that the technological infrastructure and capabilities of the university can fully support the full implementation of the e-learning program. The study also reveals that both instructors and students were very much eager to learn and support e-learning technology despite the fact that the university is not yet fully developed to cater the change.  As conclusion, one of the key main factors in the success of adapting and implementing e-learning technology is the technological infrastructure. University must give support in developing and improving technological facilities and infrastructure to support and facilitate e-learning process.
