Abstract:
This study examines internet usage by distance
students of Valley View University on Techiman Campus,
Ghana. Descriptive research design was used for this study.
The students were randomly selected which gave a sample
size of 342 from a total population of 384. Questionnaire was
the main data collection instrument used. The study revealed
that the distance students do not have full access to the
internet; most of them use the internet weekly because of
their course structure. The study found out that the distance
learners use the internet for specific knowledge in their
courses. The study also discovered that users find it difficult
to access the internet because of slow network in the library.
Recommendations were made to the management to improve
on internet facilities in the library.
