This study investigates the level of cybersecurity awareness among students in tertiary institutions in Enugu State, Nigeria, and examines its impact on their online behavior and security practices. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected through structured questionnaires and interviews involving 300 students across three major institutions. Findings reveal a moderate level of awareness, with significant gaps in understanding phishing, pa ssword security, and data privacy. The study highlights the need for targeted cybersecurity education programs to strengthen students' digital safety practices.

As e-learning becomes an integral component of modern education, understanding its influence on student performance in developing countries is essential. A mixed-methods approach was utilized, combining quantitative surveys (n=350) with qualitative focus group discussions (n=18) across three tertiary institutions. Data were analyzed using SPSS, applying descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analyses. The study found a significant positive correlation (r = 0.47, p < 0.01) between regular engagement with e-learning platforms and improved academic performance. However, barriers such as poor internet connectivity, limited digital literacy, and inconsistent faculty preparedness were noted as limiting factors. The findings highlight the need for infrastructural improvements, enhanced digital literacy programs, and faculty training to optimize e-learning outcomes in Nigerian tertiary institutions. This study contributes to the growing body of research on e-learning in developing countries, providing context-specific insights into the Nigerian higher education system.

Adopting a causal-comparative research design, the study targeted a population of 8,470 students, from which a sample of 187 students (92 males and 95 females) was drawn using multi-stage sampling. Data collection utilized a Computer Studies Achievement Test, validated by experts in Science Education and Measurement & Evaluation, achieving a reliability coefficient of 0.94 using Kuder-Richardson Formula 20 (K-R20). Research questions were analyzed using means and standard deviations, while hypotheses were tested with independent t-tests at a 0.05 significance level. Findings indicated that male students outperformed female students in computer studies, though no significant achievement differences were observed between genders in public and private schools. The study recommends encouraging female students to engage confidently in computer studies and calls for equitable learning opportunities regardless of gender.

A quasi-experimental design was used for the study and the sample consisted of one hundred (100) Senior Secondary School Two (SS2) students selected from both public and private secondary schools in Enugu State through stratified random sampling technique. The sample was divided into two major groups: experimental (n-50) and control group (n-50). The Experimental Group (EG) was taught using visual literacy materials, while the Control Group (CG) was taught without visual literacy. A pre-test and post-test of Computer Achievement Test (CAT) was administered to both groups before and after the treatment respectively. Data were later analyzed using frequencies, percentages, mean and standard deviation. While the hypotheses were tested using T-Test. The results showed that there was statistically significance difference between the ac...

The internet has set a stage for the unprecedented integration of capabilities as a result of rapid developments in Information and Communication Technology.
Without mincing words, the internet has become a huge part of our lives. There are several things that the internet can do for us .Obviously, many people can’t imagine life now without this technological advantage.
Due to this, programmers and technology experts are doing their best to improve our technology even more. Internet Service Providers (ISP) persistently improve their services because they know how vital internet is to people’s lives today. People often utilize the internet to do a lot of different tasks.
Before the advent of the internet, people relied on the available books in the library to carry out research which were not regularly updated, but now, the internet has made research easier for lecturers and students by using various internet search engines and other ICT tools to obtain relevant information.
Furthermore, the advent of the internet has propelled learners to be inquisitive, explore and expand their horizons.
Several decades before now, messages were sent via post offices but with the advent of the internet, messages are sent at dazzling speed through electronic means.
Today, the internet makes communication apparently easier and faster.
It is possible to send email and receive a response almost immediately. Similarly, information can be disseminated via social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Whatsapp, GooglePlus etc
Online shopping is another reason the internet is so valuable these days. You can easily check and buy products on e-commerce platforms like Jumia.com.ng, konga.com, Allixpress.com etc and have it delivered directly to your doorstep.
Many years back, if you wanted to purchase items such as bags, shoes, clothes. You would have no choice than to go to a shop or a market to get the items.
Also , you can now pay your bills e.g. electricity bills ,cable TV bills ,tuition fees etc online via a valid e-payment channel such as Paga, Pocketmonie, etranzact and so on.
The importance of the internet cannot be overemphasized. It is arguable that the internet has its own disadvantages, but that cannot make one deny the fact that its advantages are far greater that its disadvantages.
In conclusion, the internet has proven to be an effective and useful tool virtually in every aspect of our daily lives .The youth must endeavour to use the internet for positive purposes .Using the internet for examination malpractices , online fraud, pornography etc is a disservice to the society and harmful to people’s life
