Background of the Study
E-learning platforms have become an integral part of education, particularly in response to the increasing reliance on technology and the challenges posed by traditional learning environments. At Ondo State University of Medical Sciences, the use of e-learning platforms has expanded in recent years, aiming to enhance nursing students' learning experience by providing flexible access to educational content, interactive tools, and real-time communication with instructors and peers. However, student engagement with these platforms remains a concern. Engagement in e-learning is crucial for students to effectively benefit from the resources provided, but various factors can influence their active participation and utilization of these platforms (Oluwaseun & Adeyemi, 2023).
Research has shown that several factors affect student engagement with e-learning platforms, including technological infrastructure, students' digital literacy, and motivation levels. At Ondo State University, issues such as internet connectivity, access to appropriate devices, and students' ability to navigate the platforms may impact engagement levels. Additionally, personal factors like time management, learning styles, and perceived relevance of the content play a significant role in students’ willingness to engage with e-learning platforms. Understanding these factors is crucial for designing more effective e-learning strategies that promote greater interaction and participation among nursing students (Ojo & Abiola, 2024).
This study aims to identify the key factors that affect students’ engagement with e-learning platforms at Ondo State University of Medical Sciences and explore how these factors influence their academic outcomes.
