Integration of Learning Management System as Evolutionary Option for Tackling Physical Classroom Congestion in Nigerian Public Universities Today and Tomorrow

This study explored the integration of Learning Management System (LMS) as evolutionary option for tackling physical classroom congestion in Nigerian Universities today and tomorrow. The continuous increase in student enrollment in Nigerian universities has led to classroom congestion, which hinder effective teaching, limit student participation, compromise the quality of education delivery, and quality assurance standard in public University. This ugly situation has posed a serious challenge to most public universities in Nigeria, and the adoption of LMS can serve as a viable alternative to conventional face-to-face teaching by providing flexible teaching, technology-driven learning opportunities, promoting online teaching, and blended learning environments. The study position revealed that integration of LMS serve as evolution to enhances teaching flexibility, facilitates online course delivery, promotes student engagement beyond the physical classroom, strategically reduces lecturer teaching stress and workload on the available learning spaces. The study concluded that integrating LMS can bring innovative and sustainable approach by enabling virtual learning and reduce physical or traditional classroom congestion constraints in public universities. It was therefore recommended among others that, university management and policymaker should provide adequate ICT infrastructure, organise regular training for lecturers and students, and institutionalize LMS usage to improve the overall quality in Nigerian public University today and tomorrow.
