Constraining Factors to E-learning Adoption in Education in Nigeria

The book highlighted the great benefits of e-learning in educational delivery. Its low level of adoption by lecturers in Nigeria generally and the North-Central Zone in particular was noted. This showed that there is a problem in the system that requires urgent solution to enhance the competitive ability of the products in the global workplace and business environment. Views of 161 business education lectures in colleges of education (established with the sole aim of offering per-service training to teachers) were explored and lack of relevant skills by lecturers, low level of computer literacy by students, low level of institutional support and inadequate funding of education by the government were implicated as the constraining factors. The problems are surmountable, so all hands should be on deck.
