Abstract:
Changes in technology have a significant impact on E-learning in the communication and information systems of the present day. Botswana, like any other country, had a paradigm shift in the teaching and learning process during the Covid phase. This study aimed to determine whether or not students at a few Botswana universities were prepared to utilize the virtual learning environment. This study also aims to observe the progress in using Virtual Learning Environments considering factors such as willingness, attitude, and accessibility, despite the challenges they had to face. It is critical to understand the readiness in several aspects to have seamless learning experiences. The study was conducted using an evaluation questionnaire completed by students. It is found that there is a strong positive correlation between Internet use and virtual learning environments, even though the demographics of the research sample were the same for all participants. The study identified that most students view Virtual Learning Environments as valuable resources despite lack of proficiency in using it.
