Students’ Perceived Ethical integrity and quality issues with E-learning in Nigerian Tertiary Education
Abstract:Our
society is witnessing a dramatic change which is also significantly impacting
both our social and economic spheres of life, most especially the education
sector. The current Covid-19 pandemic has imposed a change in the way
curriculum-based education is currently been run. Citadels of learning, the
world over have been forced to either adapt or wait out the storm. Most
institutions have however chosen the former option by switching all academic
activities to online platforms. This has fundamentally challenged the way
learning and education are being delivered in a disruptive manner. This study,
therefore, seeks to gain an insight into the perception of third and final year
undergraduates students in Nigerian universities, on the overall impact of the
change from traditional learning to e-learning. Data was gathered via
questioners and analyzed. The result shows that the online mode of learning has
indeed had a marginal impact on the overall ethical integrity concerning the
dissemination of course contents.
