“…Students may have to bear extra costs aside from their tuition fees or universities will have to charge an online fee to provide stable and reliable internet data for use (Adarkwah, 2021;Piña et al, 2018). In Malaysia, Ramli et al (2020) reports that high data costs hindered learners from fully participating in online learning. Aboagye et al (2020) also reported that with many parents temporarily out of job due to COVID-19 restrictions, students struggled to buy internet data to support elearning.…”

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, universities in Ghana instituted drastic interventions to support large-scale online teaching and learning. This study, therefore, examines student's participation, level of satisfaction, and related challenges in teaching and learning delivery during the Coronavirus pandemic. The study also selects significant predictors of student's e-learning perceptions. Data was collected via an online structured survey based on students from the Kumasi Technical University. In all 2000 complete responses were received and formed the basis for our analysis. The study results reveal that 197 (9.85% of the sample) were unable to fully participate due to challenges such as lack of access devices, unreliable internet connectivity, and inability to afford the cost of internet data. It is again clear from the results that about 90.1% of students are not satisfied with e-learning and its associated challenges. From the positive perception model, students held the view that e-learning technology in the COVID-19 era is positive regardless of the challenges. On the other hand, level 300 students, and Moodle VClass platform users express a high negative perception over the use of e-learning technology. It is clear from this study that further investments and contingency plans are needed to develop a resilient education system that supports electronic and distance learning and shapes the perception and acceptance of students. University managers and the Education Ministry should formulate post-COVID-19 strategies to promote e-learning in a developing country like Ghana.

“…Students indicated that they do not receive any support for purchasing data bundles and securing ICT devices for eLearning which makes it difficult for Higher learning Institutions to implement eLearning systems. This is highlighted in a study in Malaysia that showed that the adoption of eLearning systems for Higher Learning Institutions is greatly hindered by high data costs as a result students will not be able to fully participate in online learning [20] . Another study by [21] in private tertiary institutions amidst COVID-19 lockdown in Nigeria showed that implementation of eLearning was slowed down by the expensive eLearning resources such as data and materials.…”

“…The students' motivation is derived from the interaction between the educators and their students (Brophy, 2005). According to Ramli et al (2020), conventional education processes deal with physical interaction and communication of the students in classrooms. During this pandemic outbreak, educators face difficulties in motivating students to participate and stay attentive during online learning.…”
