This study therefore assessed the undergraduate students’ proficiency’ level of utilizing social media for learning in Nigeria. The study employed the quantitative research method. Four hundred and fifty (450) respondents were randomly sampled across universities in Nigeria on which a structured questionnaire was administered on the students. The research questions were answered using mean, while t-test statistic was used to test the two hypotheses. Results of the research revealed that the proficiency level of undergraduates on the utilization of social media for learning was high and there was no significant difference between male and female undergraduates' utilization and undergraduates' proficiency towards the utilization of social media for learning. The study concluded that undergraduate students have good proficiency level on the utilization of social media for learning. Abstrak Siswa-siswa sekarang banyak menggunakan media sosial sekadar untuk aktivitas sosial ketimbang belajar, hanya saja kajian untuk hal ini relatif minim. Penelitian ini mengkaji tingkat kemahiran mahasiswa S1 dalam penggunaan media sosial untuk pembelajaran di Nigeria. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dan melibatkan 450 responden yang dipilih secara acak dari seluruh universitas di Nigeria menggunakan kuesioner terstruktur untuk para siswa. Pertanyaan penelitian ini dijawab menggunakan rata-rata dan analisis statistik t-test digunakan untuk menguji hipotesisnya. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa level kemahiran/penguasaan mahasiswa dalam menggunakan media sosial untuk pembelajaran tinggi dan tidak ada perbedaan antara mahasiswa laki-laki dan perempuan. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa mahasiswa S1 memiliki tingkat kemahiran yang bagus dalam menggunakan media sosial untuk pembelajaran.

Abstract

Technology has gained importance in all stages of education, yet educators have been unable to figure out which of the many available technological tools best fit their classroom practices. Google Classroom is one such tool that is free of cost and has gained popularity quickly. This study investigates the perceived use of google classroom among science and education lecturers and their relationship. This study, which uses the questionnaire method, consists of 150 lecturers who have implemented Google Classroom for at least one semester in their classroom. Findings revealed that lecturers positively perceive Google Classroom if all the necessary resources and environments are implemented. It has a user-friendly interface, and it saves time tremendously. It concludes that google classroom has a long-term future in instruction at the university of Ilorin provided the application keeps upgrading to meet user needs. This implies that adequate access to the internet and intelligent digital tools are the major drawbacks to the use of google classroom. It was, however, recommended that if deliberate efforts are channeled towards internet connectivity and availability of useable computers, it would go a great length

Abstract

Virtual Classrooms (VCs) are digital platforms that create an atmosphere by integrating internet technologies in which instructors, students.
