e-Learning has been widely used in educational settings especially in developing countries like Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to investigate e-learning readiness among Indonesian university students and to compare students’ perceptions of their workload (including mental demand, physical demand, temporal demand, performance, effort, frustration, and sleepiness) in e-learning and classical learning settings. A survey was conducted with students in an Indonesian university. The results show that students have a high level of e-learning readiness. Mental workload is significantly higher in e-learning than in face-to-face learning. No significant difference in sleepiness was found between e-learning and face-to-face learning. The correlation between e-learning readiness and the mental workload was not significant. Implications of the results are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
