e-Preparedness of Students of Private Universities in Bangladesh for Blended e-Learning: A Case Study
Due to the higher affordability of students and greater technological resources availability in academic environment, some private universities in Bangladesh were assumed e-Prepared for e-Learning. a modified framework for blended learning was proposed, a learning management system (LMS) was deployed and junior students from non-engineering majors of a private university were provided access to complement classroom activities. Log showed that less than 10% students were regular users of the LMS, indicating that the LMS is unsuccessful. e-Preparedness survey was conducted on 38-questions questionnaire, data analyzed using descriptive statistics, shows technological reach of students is above 82%. Future digital Bangladesh initiatives should include ePreparedness assessment based on Heneys and Chapnics model. Similar study would enable reasoning requirements gap identification and failure of eLearning or IT projects. Digital Bangladesh projects might turn less effective in similar way if holistic preparedness is absent.
