E-learning is relatively an emerging learning system that has been placed over the conventional campus based learning worldwide due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this study is to assess e-learning readiness among the university students of a developing country like Bangladesh and to identify the independent predictors of e-learning readiness. Based on the extensive literature review the study plan has been designed. The estimated sample size of the study is 1067. Data will be collected online via “Google Form” with the principles of snowball sampling through available social media platforms in Bangladesh. The E-learning readiness questionnaire will be used for E-learning readiness, and the PELSS for perceived stress will be used to measure the outcome. Demographic factors will be the age, gender, divisional residence, preference of students and their parents, devices used, and having any eye problems Descriptive statistics will be performed. A bivariate and multivariable linear regression model will be applied. A logistic regression model will be used. The data will be analyzed via statistical software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS, version 22.0) and STATA-16. During the prolong stages of COVID-19 pandemic e-learning implication strategies are needed to be assessed systematically with the level of readiness and its’ impact among students for the continuation of a sound learning system. To our best knowledge, this is the very first study attempting to measure the level of stress induced upon the university students by the distance learning system. This study will provide an insight to the current situation of the online learning in Bangladesh and will lead to further researches, helping in future policy making for effective implementation of distance learning.
