Abstract

The outcome of learning is mostly revealed in the students’ retention strength, academic performance, and achievement. Learning Management System is designed to enhance this through the promotion of the students’ cognitive, affective and psychomotor skills. This study examined the perception of students in Ogun State tertiary institutions on the efficacy of Learning Management System used in their respective institutions. The study adopted descriptive survey research design with 3, 670 participants. The instrument used was self- developed, titled Learning Management System Efficacy questionnaire LeMSeQ. Three research questions and one hypothesis were used to guide the conduct of the study. The data collected were analyzed with descriptive statistics of frequency counts, simple percentages, mean and standard deviation, and inferential statistics of t-test. The result shows a significant outcome (t = 23.528, p < 0.05) with the private students mean score of 53.85 (S.D = 3.55) higher than the public students mean score of 35.25 (S.D = 2.89), and the difference is statistically significant. The findings reveal factors that promote and hinder the efficacy of Learning Management System in Ogun State tertiary institutions to include among others, the availability of internet services, personal technology facilities, poor internet connection, partially user friendly, limited time of adjustment, poor individualized feedback, and academic weblog and podcast.
