Abstract

E-Readiness plays a crucial role in the success of E-Learning initiatives with greater reason it should be conducted in an extensive approach for Higher Education Institutions to reap the benefits E-Learning has to offer. This study explored the e-readiness of two State Universities in Luzon to provide significant information to the academic community. Data were gathered from faculty and students with the use of an E-Learning Readiness Tool. The findings related to readiness of teachers and students are discussed. Furthermore, barriers to e-learning manifested in the results and necessary actions to address these were recommended for managers.
