Purpose: The study was carried out to investigate the perceived resources and preparedness for as well as the envisaged challenges of e-learning by Human Kinetics and Health Education Teachers in Colleges of Education in South-South Nigeria. To achieve this objective, three research questions were formulated and answered. Methodology: A 25-item structured questionnaire was developed by the researchers and a Survey research design was used for data collection. A population of 34 Human Kinetics and Health Education Teachers from the three Federal Colleges of Education in the South-South Nigeria were used for the study. The questionnaire was face validated by 3 experts in measurement and evaluation. An internal consistency coefficient of 0.79 was obtained. The questionnaire was administered to all the teachers and all the distributed copies were retrieved and analyzed. Means and standard deviations were used in data analysis. Findings: The study identified several perceived (and required) resources that are nonexistent in our tertiary institutions, absence of many items for teacher's preparation and several envisaged barriers towards e-learning and curriculum delivery. Practical implications: Recommendations are made and they include the necessity for teachers to be sponsored to workshops, seminars and equally be given in-service training aimed at getting them to be fully Information and Communication technology (ICT) compliant. Values: If provisions are made in tandem with the recommendations in this study, it should automatically pave way to the successful and full implementation of e-learning in our educational services especially in Colleges of Education within the South-South Nigeria. Originality: This paper will serve as an eye opener to stakeholders in higher Institutions for them to see that there is still a missing link between Human Kinetics/Health education teachers and e-learning curriculum delivery. Therefore, stakeholders should brace up to the challenge.
