Reassessing the dynamics and utilization of Learning Management Systems for sustainable communication education in Nigeria
Year: 2025

Abstract: The adoption of Learning Management Systems (LMS) in higher education institutions has been steadily increasing, driven by the need to expand access to quality education, particularly in fields of communication and media studies where digital literacy is essential. Despite the increasing adoption of E-Learning Management Systems (LMS) in higher education globally, there is a lack of comprehensive evaluation and reassessment of their dynamics and utilisation specifically within the context of communication education in Nigeria. Against this backdrop, the current study therefore examines the dynamics and utilisation of Learning Management Systems (LMS) for sustainable communication education in Nigeria. Anchored on Digital Generative Multimedia Tool Theory (DGMTT), this research seeks to reassess the effectiveness and impact of LMS in enhancing communication education within the Nigerian tertiary institutions. This is an exploratory review; hence it used a descriptive research method, involving evaluation of secondary sources such as literature, media reports, official documents relevant to learning management systems for sustainable communication education in Nigeria. It was discovered that user-centered design, and institutional support for LMS can foster inclusive, innovative, and sustainable communication education in Nigeria. The paper argues that while LMS offers opportunities for flexibility, innovation, and interactivity, significant challenges such as poor internet connectivity, inadequate digital literacy, resistance to change, and limited institutional support continue to hinder optimal implementation across Nigerian higher education institutions.
