Abstract
This paper investigated the perceived students’ needs and adjustments as it affects online learning in the post Covid-19 pandemic in public universities in Anambra State. Three research questions were raised while three hypotheses were formulated and tested. Descriptive survey research design was employed. The population of the study comprised 10,857 final year students which was made up of 5,019 males and 5,838 females. The sample size comprised 869 final year students from the selected public universities. Structured questionnaire was the instrument used for the data collection. The instrument was validated by two experts, one in measurement and evaluation and the other in Computer Science. The reliability of questionnaire was established using Cronbach Alpha statistic with internal consistency index of 0.82. The collected data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation for the research questions while t test of independence was used in testing the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The study revealed that majority of the students have adjusted with online learning with a high level of readiness. Furthermore, the findings revealed that students indicated high level of ICT skills and competencies needed for online learning. The study revealed that fear of high cost of data, poor internet services, erratic power supply, inaccessibility to online library resources and limited access to computer were the major perceived challenges to effective online learning. Based on this findings, it was recommended that Nigerian universities must as a matter of necessity, improvise means through which knowledge delivery and general learning activities can be achieved seamlessly and at the lowest cost to the students even while they are at home.
