Abstract
This paper examines the view of Nigerian secondary school teachers on the introduction and
utilization of e-learning platforms ( blackboard, moodle, e-college, Web CT) to support and enhance learning. Six
hundred teachers were drawn from 50 different schools in all the education districts located in Lagos state, Nigeria.
A 25-item , 5-point likert scale questionnaire was validated and used for the study. The result showed that there
was no significant difference in perception based on gender. However, there was significant difference as a result
of the school type. Findings further showed that the teachers were of the view that e-learning platforms should be
utilized in schools as soon as possible to support learning. Suggestions were given on how to make this feasible in
Nigerian schools despite the challenges.
