APPLICATION OF E-TEACHING AND E-LEARNING IN NIGERIAN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM

The study investigates the application of e-teaching and e-learning in Nigerian educational system. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Education is an instrument par excellence that a nation can rely upon to bring about self-reliance. The study observed that Nigeria still experience a lag in its implementation, and this continues to be the major challenge facing access to ICT facilities in most Nigerian institutions. The study concludes that despite the roles ICTs can play in education, schools in Nigeria have yet to extensively adopt them for teaching and learning. Efforts geared towards integration of ICTs into the school system, have not had much impact. Problems such as poor policy, project implementation strategies and poor information infrastructure militate against these efforts. The study recommends that efforts should be made by government to post and provide teachers skilled in ICTs to each school to impart ICT skills to the student and also should stabilize electricity supply in Nigeria.
