The sample for the study was 385. A structured questionnaire titled Internet Usage and Academic Performance Questionnaire (IUAPQ) was used as instrument for data collection. The instrument was subjected to a face validation and a reliability coefficient index of 0.84 was obtained using Alpha Cronbach statistics.
