Abstract

This study investigates the effect of online learning platforms on students’ use of online learning in Cameroon”. The problem of this study emanates from the low quality of knowledge and skill acquired by university students in the context of output and digitalization. which state many students in Higher Institutions in Cameroon are not able to neither participate in online classes nor submit online assignments. The student’s role in the OLP is important on many levels and for any of them to benefit from using the OLP, the student must have an active role when interacting with the OLP systems and seek to learn through engagement in online and not passively absorb information (Halverson & Graham, 2019; Ouyang & Chang, 2019). Students, who engage in large amounts of interaction with course content, using extra learning materials and resources to supplement classes, do so to support work with assignments (Shah & Barkas, 2018). OLPs make it easy to incorporate, disseminate and organize a vast collection of educational resources (Chang & Ouyang, 2019). Shelton et al., 2017) confirmed that login frequency and students’ behavior towards regular study had a significant effect on students’ use of online learning platforms. Two research questions guided the study, • To explore the different online learning platforms in some selected higher institutions in Cameroon? To investigate on how learning content in online learning platforms affects higher institution students’ online learning? The tool used for data collection was the question OLP and regression analysis were used to test Data collected was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with the help of statistics. Analysis of data demonstrated that quality student performance through good instructor’s online presence, learning content, interaction, and perceived use statistically influence students’ performance significantly. A significant regression equation was found to be [f (1,325) = 21.972, p = 0.000], with an R2 of 0.122. Two specific research questions were confirmed. Therefore, it is recommended that higher institutions stakeholders in Cameroon should draft policies and curricula that will favor the creation of a healthy instructor’s online presence, learning content, interaction, and perceived use, organized workshops to OLP staff on course content, teaching style, to ensure the development of good performance skills by graduates and hence promote their positive contribution to online platforms.
