ELECTRONIC LEARNING
SYSTEM FOR EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS (A CASE STUDY OF NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (NIIT) BENIN CITY
ABSTRACT
This project work is
aimed at investigating the electronic learning system for educational
institution using National Institute of Information Technology (NIIT) Benin
City as a case study. The study will also find possible solutions to the
problems. This study focuses on the relevance of electronic learning to
educational development, and it also gives a prototype design for any
institution that wish to adopt the online educational learning system.
Education, according to the Oxford Advance Learners’ Dictionary, is the process
of teaching, training and learning to improve knowledge and develop skills. It
is a known fact that education is the main catalyst to any country’s
development or growth. Questionnaire was the major instrument used to collect
data from the respondents from National Institute of Information Technology
(NIIT) Benin City. The data collected were converted into percentage and were
arranged in tabular form. The research also went ahead to make recommendations
to help solve the problems of electronic learning system for educational
institutions.

INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF STUDY
There has been much technology dawn in the last 50 years during which desktop
computer and the internet have been developed. There has been a similar dawn
throughout the 20th century film, broadcast television, audiotape,
and radio record video programmed learning machines, etc,. Each time enthusiast
has announced that the transformation or even the bulk of teaching and learning
has been minimal. Development in paper/printing technologies have had for more
influenced, with the consequence that face to face discussion and paper
resources will dominate public education. Audio-visual media have been treated
more as an icing on the cake than as something at the very heart of learning
and likewise their long suffering support service through the new media
particularly video have fared some what better In the development of media that
can promote improved learning (Kozma R. B. 1994).
Technological innovations always tend to create benefits and pitfalls. Cellular
phone put users in touch with Kin’s clients and colleagues but they disrupt
work and contribute to unsafe during habits. As for E-learning, on the upside,
it can enhance the bottom line by making an organization more productive,
saving money and providing more learning access to more education on the
downside E-learning may reduce personal contact between instructions and
learners among the learners themselves, sometimes many learners higher value.
This may lead to high dropout rates, which is a warning of the potential
pitfalls of E-learning. This project will help us review both sides and suggest
ways to avoid E-learning pitfalls and reap its benefits. The central focus of
E-learning for traditional learning is to acquire knowledge in the best way.
STATEMENT OF THE
PROBLEM
The
research would enable us get a better glimpse of E-learning concept, which is
far more different from instructing a training course. Foremost of all,
E-learning is about learning, the learners’ needs and the attitude of the
learner. The question this research desires to answer include: how can
E-learning be fully and well implemented into our educational system which will
help it gain extensive acceptance in terms of creating an alternative to brick
and mortar teaching environment. Moreover, it is imperative to note that the
resource of the internet has not been fully utilized, which includes the
education especially in helping us get benefit of learning over the internet.
This and many more will be included in this research in order to help us
execute E-learning project in most of our educational institutions nationwide,
extending traditional classroom facilities to virtual classes worldwide.
RESEARCH QUESTIONS
Based
on the statement of problems highlighted above the study shall provide answers
to this questions.
1.
How can E-learning promote effective teaching and earning in our educational
institutions?
2.
What
effect can E-learning system have on educational system in Nigeria?
PURPOSE OF STUDY
There
is already recognized fact that the need for educational experience is rapidly
growing. However one major impact of the internet is the neatly packaged target
market. Passion for and uses of learning grow in a way that has little to do
with demographic. Therefore the flexibility provided by education becomes
especially important and the new meaning of access to education is quite
individualized, that is enabling individuals make their decision regarding
their private and public lives generally. Students appreciate the convenience,
choice and flexibility that online courses offer. This study also aims at
describing a web-based learning flexibility and cost effectiveness as contrast
to classroom learning but it can also be colossal waste of time and money
if not implemented correctly. One of the problems of E-learning is the cost of
maintaining the software as the National Institute of Information Technology
(NIIT) are finding ways to bring three benefits of the classroom into a
distance leaving setting like the Microsoft Certified Engineer Examination.
Throughout this project, the keyboards and phrases of E-learning, distance
learning, distributed learning, web-based, distance education, learners centred
programs and online learning are used as interchangeable terms, moreover, the
study seek to throw more light on the operational infrastructure of
creating a more effective, efficient and accessible learning teaching
environment, which is critical to web-based learning/teaching success. More
often these elements are over-looked or seen as incident to the design and
quality of the learning materials themselves. The key success factor of teaching/learning
is oriented towards generating students who will become autonomous. Educational
process means, the ability to learn. So the self learners use the media in
order to get support of the internet in quality. The misconception that
delivering online causes/diminished the personal connection between students
and teachers, which on the contrary, present a new universe opportunities and
possibilities for creating individualized, highly effective environment that
enhance and personalized the learning experience. The advantage of online
learning out weight the disadvantages for both the learner and the teacher.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE
STUDY
The
importance of this study is to bring to the knowledge of the general public the
effect of E-learning system in Nigeria educational institution. The study will
also be useful to our educational system on how the E-learning system can be
used to create an alternative to the brick and mortar teaching environment in
Nigeria. The study will also help us to gain useful knowledge on how internet
can be fully beneficial in Nigeria learning environment.
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The
study seeks to cover issues surrounding the E-learning concept and questions
which enthusiast seek to understand within the project scope. Areas such as
return on investment (ROI) issue factors to optimize the teaching/learning
environment. Anatomy of online course, prepare an instruction for
online exams, challenges reward and risk, technology needed for a successful
online programs and questions worth asking. The major areas would ensure that
all necessary facts regarding online education are tentatively discussed so as
to make the interest of this project worth while and an asset to
anyone/institution seeking to becoming a part of the E-learning community and
making such a person or society a citizen of the internet (NETIZEN).
