Abstract

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have become an essential component of the modern world,
and the school system around the world has been impacted in a variety of ways as well. Nigeria's tertiary
educational institutions are heading in the direction where technology will be the main method of delivery. In
order to discuss teacher education in Nigeria, the advantages and disadvantages of traditional instructional
strategies, blended learning, obstacles to e-learning in Nigeria's tertiary institutions, and the future of e-learning
technologies in Nigeria's tertiary educational institutions were examined. This research adopted a qualitative
methodology. The developing justifications for combining traditional teaching and learning methods with virtual
learning were reiterated, and policy proposals were also made.
