The study also found a positive modest correlation between internet use and collaborative learning of Nigerian master students in IUIU (r =. 50, p <.05). The study found that there was a low positive correlation between internet use and learners-activity engagement among Nigerian master students in IUIU with (r =. 36, p<.05). The researcher recommends that IUIU Department of ICT should ensure reliable and stable Internet access to students in order to enhance their research work productivity.
