lecturers in faculty of education. The faculty has 187 lecturers out of which 180 were sampled. A
self-developed questionnaire was used. It has two sections. Section “A” contained bio-data. Section
“B” contained six items that addressed the use of e-learning facilities during covid-19 for students’
assessment. The items in section “B” were four-point Likert scale (Never used = 1, rarely used = 2,
occasionally used =3 and frequently used = 4). The questionnaire was subjected to content
validation and obtained S-CVI of 0.951 and test-retest reliability with 0.901coefficient. The findings
revealed that LMS Module, Google Form and Computer Based Test were frequently used, Google
Classroom was occasionally used while Google Meet and Microsoft Team were never used. The also
finding revealed that there was no significant difference in the lecturers’ use of e-learning facilities
to assess students based on gender and departments. One of the recommendations put forward is that
university management should equip schools with modern e-Learning facilities to foster teaching and
