Education courses in universities, Kwara State. Tworesearch purposes were formulated to guide the study
from which two research questions and two hypotheses were raised. Descriptive research designwas used
in this study. 300 lecturers and students made up the population for the study. There was no sampling as
the population of the study was not much. A structured questionnaire tagged ‘Availability and Utilization
of E-Learning Technologies in Teaching and Learning Questionnaire’ (AUETTLQ) was used for data
collection. The questionnaire was subjected to face and content validation and it was equally pilot tested
