This article reports key findings of a study that investigated Cambodian undergraduate students’ e-readiness in using Google Classroom. The study employed a closed-ended questionnaire as a data collection instrument to explore different dimensions of e-readiness. The results revealed that most of the Cambodian undergraduate students who participated in the survey (n = 110) were moderately ready for Google Classroom; however, some of them were concerned about whether their qualifications obtained from online learning via Google Classroom would be recognized. The study suggested that Cambodian undergraduate students need more exposure to Google Classroom to take advantage of its various features. Future studies should extend the scope of the current study and examine the technology acceptance of Cambodian students from different universities to understand how they navigate the challenges and opportunities of online learning.
