Abstract
The advent of the internet combined with the development of commercial network providers has opened up a lot of opportunities for individuals, schools and organisations to communicate with each other and to share information. This is an investigative study which aims at finding out University Students' attitude towards cyberspace learning. A total of 223 (118 female and 95 male participants) Nigerian university students enrolled in 2 Nigerian universities, responded to semi-structured questions developed by the authors exploring their attitude towards cyberspace learning. The data collected were subjected to Chi-square statistical analysis. The results were significant for gender showing that higher number of female participants more than male participants, would rather engage in cyber-learning most of the time. However, the results of the participants based on their educational level, showed that the graduate students were more likely to respond "yes" to the question "Would you rather engage in cyber-learning most of the time? Also the results showed that most of the participants have positive disposition toward cyber-space learning.
