Abstract

Background: The emerging technology to aid learning is the Learning Management Systems (LMS) that help to improve learning and teaching. There is an evolving new perspective to the concept of education with the recent fast development of technologies towards the generation of knowledge, the presentation of knowledge and the new way to reach knowledge. This formulated the increase adoption of Learning Management Systems (LMS) with various adoption patterns. Objectives: We narratively reviewed the Learning Management Systems in Tertiary Institutions in Nigeria from 2008 -January 2024 to generate evidence for planning and policy. Methods: The study was a narrative overview of studies related to learning management systems in tertiary institutions in Nigeria. Studies published between 2008- January 2024. The search terms included key words, set synonyms in databases relating to learning management systems. Three main databases: Google Scholar, PubMed, and CINAHL were considered. Abstract and full-text articles were obtained. Results: The geographical spread of the studies reviewed had national geographical spread (56.4%) across board with 25.6% of the studies carried out in institutions in the South-west geographical zone. The most popular instrument used in the studies is the questionnaire (56.4%), while data base constituted 12.8% of the studies. The majority (87.2%) were carried out in the university setting while 12.8% in the colleges of education. Table 6 presents the studies focus indicated that 20.5% of the studies assessed the usages of LMS, 10.2% Conclusion: The study largely suggested satisfaction of LMS with full positive impact on educational sectors promoting improvement in learning and teaching. However, many institutions are still far from its implementation.

Introduction

The Nigerian experience of complete lockdown in the COVID-19 period and its negative effects on the economy and educational sector resulted in the option of virtual learning platforms [1]. This is enhanced by the need to devise efficiency and continuity of ease of operations through technology to utilize information and communication to capture, store and retrieve information to the advancement of scientific endeavour [2]. The emerging technology to aid learning is the Learning Management Systems (LMS) that help to improve learning and teaching in students-assisted attendance submission, performance evaluation and support classroom learning [1]. This ensures effective pedagogy and curriculum implementation in technology [3]. ICT processes the storage and processing of information technology in the collection of techniques, skill methods used in the product and services [2]. This innovative technology advancement has contributed to monumental growth in most institution of higher learning. These include the use of software, internet, CD-ROM, online learning or interactive media to disseminate information [3]. There is an evolving new perspective to the concept of education with the recent fast development of technologies towards the generation of knowledge, the presentation of knowledge and the new way to reach knowledge. This formulated the increase adoption of Learning Management Systems (LMS) with various adoption patterns [4]. The uses of LMS include the Moodle, Blackboard, and the WebCT among others. This is reported to be one of the most efficient tools for advancing knowledge, skill and development [1]. This has provided remote teaching outside the physical classroom environment with high learning outcome impacting positively the post Covid-19 era with trends in ICT the Learning Management Systems information that is up-to-date, authoritative with flexible courses that accommodate different learning skills which includes assignment and project submission ease [5].

The technology advancement fallout of the Digital Awareness program (DAP) of the partnership of the federal government and the Afrihab-Zinox promoted the ICT sustainability interventions of learning systems an integral tool to improve teaching and learning facilitated information exchange amongst educators and the outside world affording the opportunity to shift from teachers centered to student centered learning in tertiary Institutions in Nigeria. However, the challenges of infrastructural inadequacy, organizational and operational model due to institutional delivery are reported in Literatures. This review provides a window for the assessment of the Learning Management Systems in the Nigerian Institutions of learning. We narratively reviewed the Learning Management Systems in Tertiary Institutions in Nigeria from 2008 -January 2024 to generate evidence for planning and policy.

Discussion

Overview of Learning Management Systems

Technology advancement has set a pace in providing options from the Covid-19 lockdown to making the teaching and learning process between students and teachers more resourceful and successful, enhancing management of online course, distributing course materials, promoting collaboration between students and lecturer of the value added technology in education. It manages all aspects of student’s procedures from registration to storing of every students evaluation through digital assignments [7]. LMS created interactive websites assisting student learning with assessment, grading, reporting, and tracking progresses to infuse improvement in learning [8]. Students are able to monitor academic progress enhancing training evaluation [9]. The use of LMS is not only time and money saving but support the delivery of effective instructions that will enhance interactive learning environment between students and faculty [8].

LMS in Tertiary Institutions in Nigeria

The adoption of LMS in tertiary institutions in Nigeria, have yielded dividend of effective utilization of ICT enhancing learning and teaching [2]. This has positively impacted the quality of learning especially with the innovative on-line teaching platforms. There is significant need to investigate the published works to identify the coverage of researches on learning management systems in tertiary institutions to evaluate the impact of the system on educational sector as indicated in Table 1. However the success story of LMS [14] opined that the quality of teaching and assessment could have been compromised by factors such as irregular power supply, poor internet connections, high data cost and students limited digital skills [10, 39].

In this review, majority of the studies were descriptive surveys, few were reviews, and quasi-experimental and minuscule of them are comparative and action researches (Table 2). The geographical spread of the studies reviewed had a national geographical spread above average and predominant across board. A quarter of the studies were carried out in institutions in the south-west geographical zone (Table 3). The most popular instrument used in the studies was the questionnaire, while data base constituted 12.8% of the studies (Table 4). The majority of studies were carried out in the university setting while a minimal proportion took place in the colleges of education (Tables 5 & 6) presents the studies focuses indicated that one-fifth of the studies assessed the usages of LMS, one-tenth considered LMS adoption, and LMS as sources of online and distance learning platforms, History and innovative emergence of LMS, and scaling ups studies [40, 41, 42, 43]. Improvement of academic performances and extent of preparedness of Nigeria for this advancement were the least utilized.

Conclusion

The study reveals the evidence-based satisfaction of LMS with full positive impact on educational sectors promoting improvement in learning and teaching. However, not many of the tertiary institutions have implementation LMS. The decision to the choice of types of system also required critical evaluation and sensitivity in selection adoptions types. However the highlighted challenges must be adequately viewed in the implementations.

Recommendations

It is highly recommended that the adoption of LMS must be fully employed in tertiary institutions of learning and the blended learning that combines the features of face-to- face and e-learning be employed for effective and efficient learning processes in the tertiary institutions.
