Assessment of E-Learning Readiness in South African Schools

The delivery of education and/or curriculum has shifted from the traditional method of curriculum delivery to a digital format of delivery using available technology. However, without eLearning readiness, eLearning benefits will not be reaped and the probability of failure in adopting eLearning is high. Therefore, it is imperative to know the level of readiness of educators and learners. In this paper, e-Learning readiness of the South African educators and learners in certain section of Gauteng Schools were investigated. A twenty-nine (29) item questionnaire was used to obtain the data. The results showed that in certain section of Gauteng schools, the educators and the learners are at the expected level of e-Learning readiness. They can now adopt e-learning as a learning method as they will be able to benefit from the new learning method. In conclusion, the nominated schools in Gauteng are ready but need a few improvements.
