Background of the study
Multimedia instructional strategies have revolutionized the delivery of educational content in online learning environments. In Ilorin East LGA, Kwara State, educators increasingly integrate videos, animations, interactive simulations, and audio narratives to enrich the learning experience. Such strategies cater to diverse learning styles by transforming complex subjects into visually stimulating and accessible content (Miller, 2023). This shift is not merely technological but also pedagogical, aligning with modern theories that emphasize the role of visual and auditory modalities in enhancing comprehension and retention (Nelson, 2024). As online learning becomes a central feature of education, multimedia tools play a crucial role in making learning interactive and engaging. Digital platforms now support features that allow real-time interaction, self-paced study, and immediate feedback, which collectively improve academic outcomes. However, challenges such as inconsistent access to resources, varying levels of digital literacy among educators, and resistance to change hinder the full potential of multimedia in online education (Owen, 2025). In Ilorin East LGA, these issues underscore the need to critically assess how multimedia instructional strategies are implemented and the extent to which they improve student engagement and learning outcomes. The investigation aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the benefits and obstacles associated with multimedia integration, thus offering guidelines to optimize its use in online education.
Statement of the problem
Despite the growing adoption of multimedia instructional strategies in online education, several challenges hinder their effective implementation in Ilorin East LGA. Disparities in digital resource availability mean that while some schools are equipped with state-of-the-art technology, others struggle with limited internet access and outdated equipment. This digital divide affects the consistency and quality of multimedia integration, resulting in unequal learning opportunities (Roberts, 2023). Furthermore, many educators lack adequate training to utilize multimedia tools fully, leading to underutilization and suboptimal student engagement (Taylor, 2024). The rapid pace of technological change further challenges educators to update their skills continuously. Without standardized guidelines for integrating multimedia into curriculum delivery, the potential of these tools remains partially unfulfilled, thereby limiting their impact on student outcomes (Walker, 2025).

• To evaluate the effectiveness of multimedia instructional strategies in enhancing student engagement in online education.
• To identify the challenges faced by educators in implementing multimedia instructional methods in Ilorin East LGA.
