Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
The global shift towards digital education has intensified, with Information and Communication Technology (ICT) playing a pivotal role in expanding access to education. In Lafia Local Government Area, Nasarawa State, the integration of ICT into education has shown promise in enhancing learning opportunities, particularly for marginalized and rural communities (Garba & Bala, 2023). However, despite the increasing recognition of e-learning's potential, there are still significant barriers to its adoption, including limited access to ICT infrastructure, lack of digital literacy, and inadequate awareness of the benefits of e-learning. ICT campaigns that focus on raising awareness about the importance of digital education and providing training in digital literacy have the potential to address these challenges. By using mass media, community engagement, and online platforms, ICT campaigns can effectively encourage the adoption of e-learning among students and educators, fostering a more inclusive educational system (Khalid & Adamu, 2024). This study seeks to assess the impact of ICT campaigns on the promotion and adoption of e-learning in Lafia, with a focus on evaluating the effectiveness of these campaigns in overcoming barriers to digital education.
