SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The purpose of this exploratory case study was to investigate the factors, obstacles, and enablers contributing to the lack of use of technology in distance education, and to explore the use of virtual technology as a mechanism for more access to higher educational institutions in Nigeria. Semi-structured, open-ended interviews were conducted with 24 participants representing several programs and stakeholders in Nigerian education. Stakeholders were purposely selected from administrators and academic staff of Nigerian higher institutions running accredited distance education (DE) programs, accrediting bodies, and funding bodies. Analysis of the data revealed the following five themes: (a) Political will, (b) Funding, (c) Lack of infrastructure, (d) Lack of trained personnel, and (e) Lack of awareness. Research revealed a consensus from stakeholders that establishing more distance learning (DL) programs and using technology in higher education, particularly in DE could be one solution to the admission crisis in Nigeria. The findings showed that there is an urgent need for cooperation, collaboration, increased funding and professional training between the government and tertiary institutions to achieve the full use of virtual technology in Nigerian education. Through the study, the researcher found that there was a need for the relaxation of National University Commission (NUC) carrying capacity policy; increase funding to replace obsolete technology infrastructure; increase academic staff; revise curriculum and assess the delivery; reduce financial waste; and establishment of more DL programs and centres.
