Background of the Study
E-learning has emerged as a transformative approach in higher education, offering flexibility, accessibility, and innovative teaching methodologies. In Abakaliki Local Government Area, Ebonyi State, tertiary institutions have increasingly adopted e-learning platforms to enhance academic delivery and overcome traditional educational challenges (Okafor, 2024). The rapid technological advancements, coupled with the global demand for digital education, have prompted educational institutions to integrate online learning systems into their curricula. Historically, tertiary education in the region relied heavily on conventional classroom settings, but the recent shift towards e-learning has revolutionized teaching and learning practices. This transition has been accelerated by the need to address issues such as limited physical infrastructure, geographic barriers, and the demand for flexible learning schedules. E-learning offers a solution by enabling remote access to educational resources and fostering a more interactive learning environment (Ike, 2025). However, the adoption of e-learning is not without challenges. Issues such as inadequate digital infrastructure, limited technical support, and resistance to change among staff and students pose significant obstacles. This study examines the extent of e-learning adoption in tertiary institutions in Abakaliki, evaluating both its benefits and challenges. Through surveys, interviews, and performance data analysis, the research aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the impact of e-learning on academic achievement and institutional efficiency. The study also explores strategies for improving digital literacy and infrastructure to maximize the potential of e-learning in higher education (Okafor, 2024).
Statement of the Problem
Despite the promising potential of e-learning, tertiary institutions in Abakaliki face considerable challenges in its effective implementation. Many institutions struggle with inadequate digital infrastructure, inconsistent internet connectivity, and limited technical support, which hinder the seamless integration of e-learning systems (Okafor, 2024). Additionally, resistance to change from both educators and students, compounded by a lack of comprehensive training in digital pedagogy, has slowed the adoption process. These challenges have led to underutilization of e-learning platforms and suboptimal academic outcomes. The study seeks to identify the primary barriers to effective e-learning adoption and assess their impact on teaching and learning. By examining these challenges, the research aims to propose strategies that can improve digital education delivery and enhance academic performance in tertiary institutions in Abakaliki (Ike, 2025).
Objectives of the Study:
-
To assess the level of e-learning adoption in tertiary institutions.
-
