The Plausibility of Distance and Computer-Assisted Learning in an era of Fuel Subsidy Removal: A Case Study of the Main Campus of Lagos State University

Research Details

Following fuel subsidy removal, the cost of living in Lagos State has significantly increased, andthis has affected the continued sustenance of the traditional mode of learning where students andlecturers meet on campus on a daily basis. Hence, the present research offers distance computer-assisted learning via Open and Distance Learning ODL as a complement to traditional orconventional learning in tertiary institutions in Nigeria. Distance computer-assisted learningboasts mainly of synchronous, asynchronous or blended means of learning all of which havebeen used in the past to complement face-to-face interactions between lecturers and students ofLagos State University. It is on the basis of the economic inconveniences of fuel subsidy removalwith the declaration of the three-day work week by the Lagos State University that this researchproposes distance computer-assisted learning to mediate the gap created between lecturers andstudents of Lagos State University. However, since this is a proposed alternative, the presentresearch concerns with students readiness and awareness of this mode of learning. Themethodology adopted for this research is quantitative analysis which involves the use ofquestionnaires offered to 380 students of Lagos State University in February 2024. The resultshows that whereas students are willing to adopt distance computer-assisted learning, thechallenges of power and telecommunications appear as serious challenges. The study thereforeprovides some suggestions and recommendations for overcoming these gaps.
