Abstract
The purpose of this study was to ascertain the association between students' access to online learning resources and their academic achievement in Nigerian colleges of education. The study adapts the following elements of online learning materials: online learning tools, and online publications, in order to discover this link, the following aims of the study were generated by these elements of online learning: (1). To ascertain how students' use of online learning resources relate to their academic achievement in Nigerian colleges of education. (2). To ascertain the connection between students' access to online journals and their academic achievement in Nigerian colleges of education. NCE students from three colleges of education in the North Western Region of Nigeria were chosen. The study’s population were4766. The respondents’ sample were chosen using stratified random sampling (n = 367 students). Data from the respondents was gathered using a questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale. The analysis of the study questions used is Pearson Product Moment correlation. The study's conclusions showed that there is a modest association (r = 0.031) between students' use of online learning resources and their academic achievement. Additionally, it was discovered that there is a strong positive link (r = 0.751) between students' academic achievement and their ability to access online publications. The creation of platforms for students to download lecture notes and other online learning materials for enhancing their academic achievement were advised in Nigerian colleges of education based on these findings.
