E-learning readiness is an important part of distance education as it is conceivably related to
the success of e-learning initiatives. Policy makers and regulatory bodies have to be cognizant of the
degree of e-readiness of a populace in order to design and implement efficient e-learning programmes.
This paper reports on a study that was carried out to determine the e-readiness of a group of Open
University Malaysia receivers (learners) and enablers (tutors) to provide significant information to the
respective teaching-learning community. Data were gathered with the use of the e-learning Readiness
Research Tool from a sample of 93 receivers and 35 enablers. The findings related to learner readiness
are discussed in this paper. (Authors' abstract)
