SMARTPHONE EDUCATION DELIVERY MODEL AMIDST LOCKDOWN IN NIGERIA

Despite the ills of COVID-19 across Nigeria, it has opened up the responsible use of the internet for educational purposes especially among teachers in the private primary and secondary education sectors. It has brought to the limelight the possibility of delivering lessons using what we may refer to as a smartphone education delivery model (SED-M). The availability of internet facilities and smartphone technologies helps greatly in the delivery of the lessons to pupils in the primary schools and the students in secondary schools and universities. Also, Government agencies in the educational management utilise the model in their meetings and professionals used it for webinars during the lockdown. There is a need to design a holistic framework for the use of this model in education delivery. In this work, we propose an enhanced SED-M to mitigate some of the challenges of engaging the internet enabled smartphones for teaching and learning in any lockdown situation as an emergency remote teaching approach.
