Background of the Study
The advancement of technology has revolutionized the education sector, and e-learning platforms have become an integral part of modern education systems. These platforms provide an alternative to traditional classroom teaching by delivering educational content through digital media. E-learning platforms have the potential to enhance the learning experience by offering personalized learning opportunities, flexible study schedules, and access to a variety of learning materials.
In Zaria Local Government Area (LGA), Kaduna State, many secondary schools face challenges related to limited resources, overcrowded classrooms, and the need for more interactive learning experiences. The COVID-19 pandemic further highlighted the importance of having robust e-learning systems that allow students to continue their education outside the traditional classroom setting. However, many schools in Zaria LGA still lack access to adequate e-learning tools and platforms that can support both teachers and students in this regard.
The design and implementation of an e-learning platform tailored to secondary schools in Zaria LGA will help address these challenges by providing a digital space for students to access educational materials, interact with their teachers, and participate in online assessments. This platform will be designed to support both synchronous and asynchronous learning, ensuring that students can learn at their own pace while still receiving the necessary guidance from their instructors.
