Application of Zoom E-learning Management System in Business Education in Universities Nigeria

Abstract

The study examined the application of the Zoom e-learning management system, in the context of Business Education in Nigerian universities. The study employed a descriptive survey design. The sample consisted of 801 lecturers. A questionnaire consisting of 39 items was utilized for data gathering. The instrument demonstrated face and content validity, with reliability indexes of 0.86, 0.91, and 0.84, respectively. The data analysis was conducted using the measures of statistical mean. The results indicated that the majority of participants expressed their preference for the Zoom management system as the primary method of instruction in university business education in this era of ICT worldwide dominance. Several obstacles have been identified that have impeded the complete integration of Zoom into teaching and learning in Nigerian universities. The challenges encompass insufficient infrastructure for Zoom utilization, exorbitant subscription fees, and insufficient digital proficiency among teachers and students. Consequently, the study recommended the necessity of the government for enhanced financing to provide the necessary equipment and readily available internet subscriptions in universities. School authorities are anticipated to establish the integration of the Zoom platform as a mandatory policy.
