Abstract

Research Objectives: This study examines how child media and literature are strategically used in online higher education to foster civic engagement. It explores their integration into digital learning environments as tools for civic transformation, given the growing importance of civic education and the pedagogical potential of children’s narratives. Methodology: Surveys were conducted with 30 primary school teachers and 15 university arts education lecturers across select Enugu State institutions. Responses were analyzed using mean and standard deviation, with a benchmark of 2.5. Questionnaire validity was ensured by experts in educational measurement and foundations. Three research questions guided the study: (1) how digital child media promotes civic engagement in online higher education; (2) what strategic management practices support its use; and (3) how primary teachers perceive its civic value for older learners. Findings: Results showed moderate but inconsistent use of child media, limited institutional support, and strong teacher approval of its civic relevance—with calls for adaptation. Theoretical framing drew on Transformational Leadership Theory (management) and Reader-Response Theory (literature), shedding light on institutional and learner dynamics. Conclusion and Recommendations: Child media shows strong potential for civic education online, but fulfilling this promise requires intentional strategy, pedagogical innovation, and collaboration across education levels. The study urges policymakers and educators to embed child-centered narratives into civic education and invest in supportive digital infrastructure
