“…The sudden changes in learning modalities or environments can make students unprepared or even less successful in the course ( He et al, 2020 ). Home-based online learning may leave learners with fewer peers and teachers’ support ( Galvin, 2012 ). Many first-time online learning students found online learning challenging even if they were provided with a supportive online learning environment and sufficient learning resources ( Demuyakor, 2020 ).…”

In response to the COVID-19 outbreak in many parts of the world, online education has become a more viable option. Some studies have assessed undergraduate students’ readiness for online learning, while others examined students’ anxiety about online learning at home. The relationship between readiness and anxiety about online learning is, however, not well explored. This paper has two purposes: (1) to develop a new and valid instrument—the Home-based Online Learning Readiness Questionnaire (HOLRQ)—to measure students’ readiness to study online at home based on a theoretical framework of self-regulated learning. As a replacement for the previous readiness scale, this new instrument adds a section on learning strategies and updates and develops new items. (2) to investigate the relationship between readiness and anxiety in online learning. In order to explore those issues, 527 undergraduate students in China were surveyed in this study. The results indicated that HOLRQ was validated in the following six domains: motivation, self-efficacy, information technology skills, resource management, learning strategies and help-seeking. Chinese undergraduate students were more prepared in resource management, motivation, and help seeking, but less prepared in learning strategies, information technology skills, and self-efficacy. However, the regression analysis showed that readiness did not predict online learning anxiety. It means even highly prepared self-regulated learners may experience anxiety when learning online from home. The findings provide insights for instructors and administrators to determine how students really feel about learning from home with online education.

“…Instant messaging and use of electronic mails aid the students to clarify their concerns with the faculty. After adopting the information and communication technology, the study material is made available online so that students can access them over internet and can share with each other using online collaborative tools [6], [7]. Instant messaging and use of electronic mails aid the students to clarify their concerns with the faculty in normal classes as well as in new mode of blended learning [8].…”

Abstract-The research on 'Pedagogical potentials of IEEE 802.11 WLAN to Nigerian Universities-A case study of University of UYO' is an in depth study to evaluate the potentials of its implementation to the entire teaching and tutoring vertical in Nigerian universities. While conducting this research study, the campus did not have the facility of Wireless internet service. Researchers are to provide the WLAN-Wireless local area network service to support the communication protocol limiting to shorter distances within a definite range with aid of infrared signals and radio networks. For this study, data collection is made over two periods, i.e., first, at the time of launching WLAN in order to gain an overview of the academic performance of the students and in the second instance, after providing the training to use WLAN, at the end of the semester. This study is conducted over a period equivalent to one semester. The objective of this is to identify any improvements in the performance of the students and the teaching staff after the completion of the training. The key performance indicator 'Academic outcome / Performance of students and attitude of faculty' on wireless internet in the campus is captured through the study and relevant statistical tools and techniques are applied to the data. The ascent in the academic outcome of students and the performance ofthe faculty is evident for the benefit of WLAN technology. Orthodoxically, the course material is couriered to the students. After adapting to the information and communication technology, the study material is made available online so that students can access them over internet. Also, the universities made the study materials available over a secured portal. The education sector also has followed the suit. Instant messaging and use of electronic mails aid the students to clarify their concerns with the faculty. After adopting the information and communication technology, the study material is made available online so that students can access them over internet and can share with each other using online collaborative tools [6], [7]. Instant messaging and use of electronic mails aid the students to clarify their concerns with the faculty in normal classes as well as in new mode of blended learning [8]. Index Terms-InformationThe Internet, therefore, has been recognized to improve academic performance of students on campuses [9], [10]. The IEEE 802.11 protocols, through wireless local area networks (WLAN), will further change the landscape of campus pedagogical practices. Appropriate mix of devices in a wireless network has been postulated to facilitate enhanced pedagogy and learning experience [11], [12]. Not only that, the academic productivity of students is known to depend on, among other variables, available resources [13]- [15]. Wireless Internet is arguably among the best of these resources. However, specifically how the IEEE 802.11 protocols impact the traditional way of lecture delivery without access to the internet in the classrooms in Nigerian unive...
