Perspective Chapter: Digital Pedagogical Delivery System in Nigeria Universities and the Quest for Global Ranking Advantage

Abstract

The realities of the present era demand a digital pedagogical delivery system in the university system. Thus, digital tools are introduced in teaching, research, and other activities to fulfil core and other university mandates. This chapter examined the global trend, teachers’ competence in the digital pedagogical system, university ranking, and the Nigerian universities’ experience. At the global scene (at the sub-regional, regional, and inter-continental scene), these apex institutions in the tertiary institutions are ranked. Nigeria universities are not too advantageous or disadvantageous but are working towards ranking advantage. The final thought is that Nigeria can gain an advantage, given the avowed determination for national development with university education as a veritable tool.
