E-Learning: A Veritable Tool to Step-Up Accessibility in the Nigerian Educational Sector

Abstract

This paper addresses E-learning as a veritable tool to step up accessibility in the Nigerian educational
sector highlighting the concepts of ICT as a tool for improving educational process, access and availability
of ICT resources in Nigeria secondary schools, e-learning technologies and sustainable development as
well as e-learning/online learning/distance learning. Also, challenges to e-learning in the Nigerian higher
education sector and benefits of e-learning in the Nigerian educational system were treated. Since eeducation
facilitates teaching and learning, it is therefore suggested that a comprehensive feasibility study
be adopted by all stakeholders, there should be mass computer literacy programmes, government should
ensure the growth of ICT from primary to tertiary institution, and the ICT teachers should be motivated
through incentives to enhance job satisfaction.
