CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

Background to the Study

Education is a large social service enterprise made up of pre-primary, primary, secondary (including vocational-technical) and tertiary educational level. It also embraces the adult and non-formal including the open and distance, special and early childhood education. The dynamics of social change and the demand on education had always been the reason for the various editions of the National policy in Nigerian education. The policy was necessitated by some policy innovations and changers, one of which was the introduction of Electronic learning (e-learning) into the Correspondence and Open University or National Open University of Nigeria education system (Akube, 2011).

E-learning refers to the use of information and communication technology (ICT) to enhance and/or support learning in tertiary education. E-learning is basically the network- enabled convey of skills and knowledge. E-learning refers to using electronic applications and processes to learn. E-learning denotes the use of ICT by teachers and learners. Schmidt 2005 holds that e-learning consists of conventional training, such as courses, ad-hoc training, selected learning objects, formalization through document collections and community formation which can be achieved via social software.

Hence, its management demands more from the managers to achieve the set goals. Due to this complexity, School administrators are sometimes faced with the challenge of managing schools in a meaningful and productive way. Some of the problems faced include poor communication within the staff and students and even with external governing bodies of the school and sometimes effective task sharing, record keeping and reporting processes are still carried out manually.

Statement of Problem

Many hurdles remain in the infusion of electronic learning system practices in tertiary institutions in Nigeria which invariably has slow down the pace of manpower development. These hurdles includes the finding, paucity of electronic gadgets and infrastructure, irregular and low quality power supply and high cost of maintaining information communication technologies, illiteracy and  computer or basic computing skills; these two points are closely related in the educational sector. Several studies have been carried out on academic performance especially on conventional students, but not much on e-learning students within the Nigerian educational system. The need to sever this ground so as to extend the frontier of knowledge in order to help improve the unimpressive e-learners’ academic performance necessitates and serves as the motivating factor for undertaking the present piece of research so as to fill the existing important research gap. This study sought to establish whether the “Group Learning Sets” offer its beneficiaries ability to develop the associated concepts; does e-learning help the students improve their grades, skills, values, procedures and technology necessary to apply in their jobs.

Purpose of the Study

The major purpose of this study was to assess the effect Of E-Learning on Higher Education In Nigeria. Other specific objectives are sets out:

1. to examine prospects of optimizing e-learning on academic performance of student in National Open University in Lagos State.
2. to determine the strategies for optimizing e-learning on academic performance of student in National Open University in Lagos State.
3. to identify the challenges of optimizing e-learning on academic performance of student in National Open University in Lagos State.

 Research Questions

The following research questions were used to guide the study:

1. What are the prospects of optimizing e-learning in academic performance of student in National Open University in Lagos State?
2. What are the strategies for optimizing e-learning on academic performance of student in National Open University in Lagos State?
3. What are challenges of optimizing e-learning in academic performance of student in National Open University in Lagos State?

Significance of the Study

The present study has great significance. First of all, the study findings provide an idea about the e-learning aspects and academic performance in order to provide key information to further research work in such areas. In the same way, the study provides knowledge and guidelines to that may be of help to policymakers. The research is therefore of importance for planners, and other social scientists. Finally, this study provides an input to the students, teachers and researchers in the areas of e-learning.

Scope and Delimitation of the Study

The study focused mainly on Effect Of E-Learning on Higher Education in Nigeria. The study focused mainly on tertiary institutions in Lagos state.

 Limitations of the Study

The present study reflects a number of limitations. Firstly, the student models of learning were identified on the basis of a specific sample comprising those under e-learning study model and those under the traditional study model. Secondly, the theoretical nature of this study limits its direct relevance for the educational praxis.  Therefore, it is hoped that future research may additionally focus on how student cognitions about learning are influenced in the context of everyday learning environments. The results could enable educational practitioners to encourage the adoption of student learning models which invoke a deep oriented and self-regulated study strategy.

This study did not consider all the aspects e-learning influences but instead was restricted to those elements of e-learning that affect performance in one way or the other. The study

did not also consider all students studying through the e-learning mode but only focused on the National University of Nigeria students and specifically those who benefited from the Computer Aid initiative.

Definitions of Terms

Information and Communications Technology: These are electronic devices, assisted by human and interactive materials that can be used for a wide range of teaching and learning as well as for personal use.

E-learning: This refers to the use of information and communication technology (ICT) to enhance and/or support learning in tertiary education. E-learning is basically the network- enabled convey of skills and knowledge. E-learning refers to using electronic applications and processes to learn.

Administration: is a social process concern with identifying, maintaining, motivating, controlling and unifying formally organized human and material resurces within an integrate system designed specifically to activate predetermined objectives.

E-Administration: the term E-Administration is regarded as the process of utilizing human and imperial resources in accomplishing designated objectives electronically; this could be done by organization.
