The population of the study used all education students in the Faculty of Education, University of Port Harcourt. A sample of 300 students was used for the study. Purposive and stratified random sampling techniques were used for the study and the instrument used to collect data was a structured questionnaire titled Perception of students on the use of Google Classroom in Tertiary Institutions (PSGCTI) with 40 items. A reliability coefficient of .74 was obtained for the structured questionnaire administered to students. Mean scores, Z-test and Anova, were used as the statistical tools for the study. It was found that the Google classroom platform helps students organize their assignments and it fosters better communication between teachers and students. It was also found that Google classroom makes online learning exciting and it creates creativity and critical thinking and makes students highly motivated. Based on the findings, it was recommended that Google classroom is a useful tool that every educator should use for teaching online. Furthermore, it was also recommended that teachers should use the Google classroom tool to bring about paperless communication in the classroom.

“…Additionally, the students pointed out that using Google Classroom gives them access to both hard and soft learning resources, which then promotes their desire to learn and makes them like the course better. This nding con rms previous studies that suggested students positively perceived Google classroom as a learning tool since it increased convenience, provides the exibility to access/print learning resources at any time and anywhere, and encouraged learning (Ahmad et al, 2022;Apriani et al, 2020;Gupta & Pathania, 2021;Jaca, 2022;Malecela & Hassan, 2019;Moonma, 2021;Oladele et al, 2021;Rohman et al, 2020;Saidu & Al Mamun, 2022;Saidu & Ibrahim, 2021;Famularsih, 2020;Ventayen et al, 2018). However, the ndings of this study contradicted some previous studies that suggested that the use of Google Classroom as a learning tool is less effective in terms of material discussion (Rahmawati et al, 2020) and students' lack of interest and motivation to use Google Classroom (Hussein et al, 2021).…”

“…Undoubtedly, the 21 st century has testi ed to the advancements in modern information and communication technology (ICT) (Moonma, 2021;Patterson et al, 2020;Zhou et al, 2022).

The study evaluated students’ experience of learning with virtual classrooms facilitated by Google Classroom at the institute of social work, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The study employed the Activity Theory (AT) as a theoretical framework using the first triangle of the activity system, which includes three components - Subject-Tool-Object (S-T-O). In this study, an anonymous online survey was adopted for data collection and the quantitative method was used to analyze data. Additionally, the survey questionnaires were prepared and distributed using the KoBo Toolbox. The sample size considered a subgroup of the institute students, which includes the BTCLRPM, ODLRPM & BLRPM from the labor studies departments. At the end of the data collection period, 82 questionnaires were collected. Only 79 (96%) questionnaires yielded valid responses and were considered for analysis and 3 (4%) questionnaires were excluded as they are not yielded valid responses. The finding revealed that the student’s opinions specified that overall students were more interested in learning activities using the Google Classroom platform as a learning tool and they managed to achieve learning goals in the ICT module. Alternatively, the findings from ANOVA comparing the differences between the groups of students concerning the use of Google classroom as a learning tool revealed that the ODLRPM and BTCLRM students demonstrated higher online/blended learning experiences of using Google Classroom for the ICT module compared to BLRPM students. Finally, the study calls for institute policymakers to plan and initiate the policy for the usage of web 2.0 tools such as Google Classroom in the facilitation of online/blended teaching and learning at the institute.
