Abstract

The purpose of the study was to delve into the challenges faced in the use of e-learning at the University of Ghana. In all, 190 graduate students were selected for the study. The main instrument used for data gathering was questionnaire. The findings revealed that when using the SAKAI LMS, graduate students encounter issues such as poor internet access, lack of computer skills, among others. In comparison to their male counterparts, female graduate students faced more obstacles when using the e-learning platform. From the data analysis, there were no statistically significant variations between age and the problems graduate students had when using the e-learning platform. Based on the findings, graduate students should obtain sufficient instruction on how to use the SAKAI LMS. In order to facilitate lifelong learning and human resource development, the study recommends the incorporation of e-learning into the curriculum of higher education teaching and learning.
