ABSTRACT
The occurrence of natural and accidental moments like disease and environmental disasters has made e-learning indispensable as a viable compliment and alternative to class room education for sustaining socialization and civilizations in the universe. The on-going predicament of a new disease in the world, Covid-19 which has made public gathering and general physical contacts a health threat prompts adoption of e-learning in educational systems. E-learning was adopted by Benue Schools, to tame the long suspension of academic classes, so as to sustain the educational system to at least a little extent. This simple and convenient alternative method poses serious challenges like network instability, cost of data, system intermittent lock out, personal interactive gap, integrity of online examinations, acceptability by users, lack of practice, near-absence of feedback and lack of relevant testing measures. However, helpful measures to cope with the challenges here could be, making e-learning interactive, getting students adequately trained in data processing and computer, parents accepting the indispensability of e-learning and adequately equipping their children and wards.
