AB  - The extent of e-Learning utilization in Nigeria is generally increasing. However while there is a great
deal of knowledge in the literature about how e-Learning is being used in developed countries, there is not
much information on its usage by industrial technical education lecturers in developing countries like Nigeria.
Hence, this research is aimed at assessing the extent of e-Learning utilization by technical education lecturer’s
for effective teaching and learning in universities. Four research questions in line with the purpose guided this
study. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. A structured questionnaire was used for data
collection. The questionnaire was face validated by three experts from the Department of Computer and
Robotics Education and Industrial Technical Education University of Nigeria, Nsukka. A total population of
140 comprising of 92 lecturers and 48 technical instructors were used for the study and 100% of the
questionnaires were returned and used to obtain information for the study. The reliability coefficient of the
instrument was established using Cronbach alpha with a value of 0.88. Percentages, mean and standard
deviation were used were used to answer the research questions. The results revealed that the e-Learning tools
available are not utilized for teaching and learning. Likewise, findings show that poor funding and poor electric
power supply in and around the university as well as resistance to change are the major constraints to the
provision and use of e-Learning infrastructures for teaching and learning while strategies for improving the
utilization of these e-Learning tools were ascertained. It was recommended that training of industrial technical
education lecturers should be appraised to emphasize the acquisition of basic skills required for utilizing
e-Learning in their teaching and learning of industrial technical education courses.
