Abstract

This study examined the effect of migrating to the e-Learning platforms on the delivery of higher education in tertiary institutions in Nigeria in the COVID-19 pandemic era. The objectives of the study centred on finding out the effects of the online learning, mobile learning, and e-learning platforms on the performance of lecturers, students, and non-academic staff in the teaching and learning of courses in tertiary institutions in Nigeria respectively in the COVID-19 pandemic era. The methodology adopted by the study comprised quantitative research method and sample survey research design. In the sample survey research, a well validated and pre-tested questionnaire was used in collecting data. Results of the reliability tests performed on the questionnaire showed a Cronbach’s Alpa index of 0.823. The population for the study was 2,653, representing the total staff and students’ strength of the five sample units selected for the study. These sample units were the UNN, ESUT, Enugu, IMT, Enugu, Enugu State College of Education (Technical), Enugu, and Godfrey Okoye University, Enugu. From this population, a sample size of 336 was determined using Kothari’s Finite Population Correction Factor Statistics at 5% desired level of precision and confidence level of 95%. Stratified random sampling was used in the selection of respondents to this study. Descriptive statistics consisting of frequency counts, tables, and percentages was used in analyzing the data collected. Multiple Regression Analysis at probability (p) less than 5% (p < 0.05). It was the findings of the study that the online learning platform had no significant effect on the performance of lecturers in the COVID-19 pandemic era; that the mobile learning platform did not increase the performance of students in the COVID-19 pandemic era; and that e learning platforms never accounted for any change in the performance of non-academic e-learning facilitators/staff in the COVID-19 pandemic era in tertiary institutions in Enugu State. Finally, the study recommended increase in the funding of higher education institutions, reduction in the cost of ICTs through tax incentives to importers of ICTs accessories and establishment of local ICTs industries, training and capacity building of staff of HEIs in Nigeria among others.
