To ascertain the accuracy and usability of the instructional model, it must be verified by a professional or expert in the area of the subject content. The automated model of the human heart (3-DAMHH) has to be inspected and verified by a qualified biology education expert to ascertain its accuracy while the usability has to be verified by an educational technology expert. Hence, it is needed to determine the experts’ validation of 3-DAMHH to teach a Biology concept in Ilorin, Nigeria. Two instruments were developed: Educational Technology Experts’ Rating Scale and Biology Education Experts’ Rating Scale. Percentage scores were used to answer research questions. Findings of this study revealed the percentage score of the rating for the validation of the 3-DAMHH by the experts satisfied the required standard in the field of Educational Technology. Percentage score of the rating for the validation of the 3-DAMHH by the experts satisfied the required standard in the field of Biology. This study concluded that the developed 3-DAMHH can be used to enhanced Biology students’ performance on the topic structure of the human heart. It was recommended among others that content specialists' and experts’ validation reports should be properly followed towards developing a standard instructional media.

This study investigated Undergraduates’ Attitude towards the utilization of OER among Undergraduates and the influence of gender and area of specialization on their attitude towards the use. The study adopted a descriptive method of the quantitative research. 3 research questions were developed and answered. 398 respondents were randomly sampled from 3 purposively selected area of specializations. Frequency counts, percentage, rank order and mean were used to answer research questions 1 to 3. The findings of the study were: Undergraduates have a positive attitude towards utilization of OER for learning; There was difference between male and female undergraduates’ attitude towards the utilization of OER for learning in favor of male undergraduates; and There were no significance differences among undergraduates based on Area of Specialization. The study concluded that students have a positive attitude towards use of OER for learning. The research recommends that institutions should endeavor to create their own OERs where students can access anytime and anywhere.

This study investigated the effect of Facebook-based learning on the students’ academic performance. The study was a quasi-experimental using pre-test, post-test design which used for data collection from 30 colleges of education students forming the sample for the study. The performance test comprises of two different sets of objective questions. Multiple choice and completion test responses. The reliability coefficient of 0.75 was obtained from Kuder-Richardson (KR-20) formula for the multiple-choice test and Split-half reliability statistic was used to determine the reliability coefficient of the completion test responses which yielded 0.76. The research questions were answered using mean and standard deviation while paired sample t-test was used to test hypothesis 1 and independent sample t-test was used to test hypothesis 2.  The findings of the study showed that there was a significant difference in the pretest and posttest performance of the Facebook-based group; and there was no significant difference in the performance of male and female students exposed to Facebook-based learning. The study concluded that the performance of the colleges of education students was enhanced when they are exposed to Facebook-based teaching methodology. It was recommended that colleges of education lecturers should be encouraged to adopt Facebook-based as an instructional strategy.

The objective of this study was to (i) investigate the available social media used by undergraduates for Learning, (ii) examine frequency of utilization of social media to facilitate learning, and (iii) examine undergraduates’ perception of the use of social media to facilitate learning. The study employed descriptive research of the survey type to elicit responses from 258 undergraduates. The research questions were answered considering independent t-test statistics. The results indicated that (i) majority of the social media available and adequate within the university, (ii) social media frequently used to enhance learning, (iii) a positive perception towards the use of social media in instruction, and (iv) no significant difference between male and female students in the frequency of use of social media and students’ perception on the use of social media for learning. Undergraduate students should adopt the use of social media for learning since this technology is useful for learning. Seminars, workshops, and conferences should be organized for male and female undergraduates on the usefulness of social media for learning since it is no gender bias.

The availability and use of technological devices to aid students with special needs in education and training are driven by the changing nature of work. This study investigated the Availability and Utilization of Assistive Technology for Learning among Students with Special Needs in Ilorin, Kwara State. A descriptive research design of survey type was employed for this study. Multi-stage sampling techniques of simple random sampling and purposive sampling were used to select 100 respondents for the study. The questionnaire was used for the study. Descriptive and Inferential statistics were used to answer the research question and test the stated hypotheses with the aid of statistical product and service solution (SPSS) version 20.0 at a 0.05 level of significance. The findings from this study showed that assistive Technology devices are available for assimilation of students with special needs in Ilorin, Kwara and there is no significant influence in the utilization of assistive technology for students of special needs based on the gender of the students. It was recommended that the Government should provide adequate funding to improve the availability of assistive technology.
