Online learning is becoming a very common means of learning in the world though it existed before 2020 as some foreign Universities have an option for their students to undergo their degree online and tutors are assigned to them based on the programme they are running.
The use of online learning was intensified following the outbreak of Covid-19 and private schools in Nigeria were the first to adopt it immediately and this made them stand out amongst their counterparts that were on strike.
It is important to define what online learning is all about as everyone knows what it means but only a few fully understand how it works and the mechanisms behind it.
Online learning is also known as e-learning is a form of learning that can be done without the students or teachers being physically present in the classroom.
The basic definition of online learning is a form of learning that is done via the internet and for this to work, there has to be a strong internet connection and there would have to set up a platform that supports it. Examples of platforms that support e-learning are Zoom, Cisco WebeX Meeting, Adobe Connect, Schoology, Blackboard, Panopto, and Top Hat.

With this being said, for online learning to be fully implemented in a country like Nigeria, there have to be improvements in several things such as the supply of electricity which is becoming evidently frustrating for our citizens as regulatory bodies in charge of electricity are hiking the electricity tariff without increasing the rate of electricity supply.
With the rate at which things are going, schools across the country would be forced to adopt e-learning as a form of learning so as to avoid disruption to their respective calendars so we should all be open to receive it as e-learning is here to stay.
