Enabling Teaching and Learning Environments in a Contact-Less World

The educational paradigm is constantly evolving, this is largely due to continuous emerging educational tools and technologies. This development has altered the traditional ways of teaching and learning. Present global trends have further increased or forced the adoption of technology in all its ramifications, resulting in a reliance that could have prolonged implications for teaching and learning activities and outcomes. This study discusses the need for enabling teaching and learning environments in the face of swift and continuing technological developments in a post global pandemic era, which has resulted in a contactless world. Metadata and s of reviews on studies were retrieved from science direct database via the search words "enhanced teaching/learning" and "teaching/learning in COVID-19 era", published between the years 2018-2020 and the years 2020-2021 for teaching and learning in a COVID-19 era. This search led to the retrieval of articles on enhanced teaching and learning activities and subsequently articles related to the COVID-19 era. The findings from this study reveal that strategic planning of teaching and learning processes have to be reevaluated.

Educational quality and technological complexity on recognition of enhanced learning platform in developing countries using PLS-SEM in a post COVID era.

The e-learning platform provides a new teaching-learning channel in which instructors provide information to learners irrespective of method used to access the platform. The purpose of this study is to examine instructors' acceptance of e-learning in Nigerian universities. The study adopted a quantitative approach, with a total of 299 questionnaires collected from instructors. The result was analyzed using PLS-SEM. The study results indicate the factors affecting instructors' adoption of e-learning platforms and the subsequent impact on instructors' behavioral intention, and consequenly, an impact on the acceptance of the e-learning platform in Nigeria. Based on the study, self-efficacy, educational quality, and ease of use, perceive usefulness, and behavioral intention were found to be predictors for instructors' acceptance of the e-learning platform in Nigeria. Also, the results drawn from the study revealed that there are individual challenges that come from the use of the e-learning platform. We discussed both theoretical and educational implications.
