ABSTRACT
This study evaluated the effectiveness of online learning platforms in tertiary institutions in Anambra State, with a particular focus on how well these platforms support teaching and learning as well as the challenges affecting their implementation. Two research objectives guided the study which are; to examine the effectiveness of online learning platforms in tertiary institutions in Anambra State and to identify the challenges that influences the successful implementation of online learning platform in tertiary institutions. The study employed a descriptive survey research design and data extracted were thematically analyzed in line with the study objectives. A population of 89,178 undergraduate students across selected tertiary institutions in Anambra State and using simple random sampling, 300 students were selected. Data were collected through a validated questionnaire designed to assess students’ experiences with online learning platforms. Findings showed that although online learning enhances flexibility and access to instructional materials, its effectiveness is limited by poor internet connectivity, inadequate devices, low digital literacy, and insufficient technical and institutional support. The study recommends improving ICT infrastructure, providing learning devices, offering digital literacy training, strengthening technical support, and adopting more interactive online teaching strategies. These findings provide valuable insights for policymakers, institutional administrators, and educators committed to enhancing the quality and effectiveness of online learning in Anambra State tertiary institutions.
