  • Abstract
    Online learning has become a popular and important component of higher education in developed countries. However, this kind of learning is just beginning in Mongolian Universities. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether students are ready to study in online classes or not. The study reports that most students do not have any previous online course experiences and they have insufficient access to Internet from their home. The results of the study indicate that students are generally ready to study in online classes, however; most of the students would use only university computer laboratories in order to study online classes.
