Abstract

Nigerian Universities have adopted the use of e-portal to enhance and connect with students, potential students, staff, parents and the global community. However, personal factors such are information technology competencies and demographic characteristics etc of undergraduate students have brought about digital divide and mix feelings about the usefulness, ease of use and reliability of e-portal in their respective institution. This study therefore surveyed undergraduate students' assessment of university portals in selected private universities in South-West Nigeria. The multistage sampling technique was used to randomly select 1244 undergraduate students from the faculties of Social-Sciences and Management and Science and Technology in the selected universities. Data was collected with a self-structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, regression and correlation. The findings show that the major challenge students face in using the portals was unstable internet connection. Age and level of study were discovered to have significant influence on studentsâ€™ assessment of e-portal while gender and studentsâ€™ course of study do not significantly influence their assessment of university e-portal. There was also a positive relationship between studentsâ€™ demographic characteristics and their IT competence at P>0.05 significant level. Furthermore, studentsâ€™ IT competence has significant influence on their assessment of the portal. The study therefore recommends that the university administration should expose students to more computer base programs that will improve their skills on the use of computer; adequate training should be provided for students on how to effectively use the e-portal.
