Accordingly, universitiesrefused to offer in-person sessions and launched virtual classesinstead. This study aimed to investigate the relationship betweencomputer literacy and e-readiness among students.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 100 eligible female studentsat Yazd University in Iran were selected by means of conveniencesampling. They were in the 19-21 age group and received a physicaleducation course in the first semester of the 2020-2021 academicyear. The classes were held in a virtual setting. Data collectiontools were a standard computer literacy questionnaire focusing onseven ICDL standard skills, and Watkins standard questionnaire forevaluating students’ e-readiness. SPSS-23 was used to analyze thedata. Descriptive statistics and the Spearman correlation coefficientwere used, and the acquired P-valuesignificance level.Results: There is a significant and strong relationship betweencomputer literacy and e-readiness only in the subscale of skillsand communication (0.04), but there is no significant relationship between computer literacy and other subscales of e-readiness,such as motivation (0.96), access to technology (0.68), learningability (0.86), internet group chat (0.96), and important issues forsuccessful learning (0.6).Conclusion: The findings of this study showed that there is asignificant relationship between computer literacy and e-readinessonly in the subscales of skills and communication. There is nosignificant relationship between computer literacy and othersubscales of e-readiness. Having these skills helps the learner toacquire information and knowledge. University policymakersand planners need to pay special attention to improving computerliteracy skills and increasing students’ e-readiness.Rosa Rahavi EzabadiSamaneh Sadat KhaliliradSomayeh FarzanehPari Khalili MarandiShiraz University of Medical Sciencesarticlecomputer literacycovid-19 pandemice-learninge-readinessComputer applications to medicine.
