ONLINE LEARNING READINESS OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS IN A COMMUNITY QUARANTINED PROVINCE

In the advent of suspension of classes and community quarantines due to the COVID-19, the learning activities are redirected from traditional face-to-face classes to alternative academic activities that will most likely be facilitated online. Today, all alternative learning activities that require students to be online has been suspended as well. The question remains: how ready were we for it in the first place?

With this, we would like to help you evaluate your own readiness towards online learning using the Online Learning Readiness Scale (OLRS).

Online Learning Readiness Scale (OLRS) was developed by Hung et al., (2010) and includes five dimensions that help you assess yourself on the following factors: a) self-directed learning, b) motivation for learning, c) computer/internet self-efficacy, d) learner control, and e) online communication self-efficacy.
