This work is a
review of the different types of Educational Support Systems (ESS)
useful for teaching and the various ways they can be applied for
teaching. Rationales for the use of ESS for teaching in the
university-based library schools in Nigeria were provided while
literature relevant to the study were reviewed to relate past research
studies, opinions and thoughts to the discussion. An exposition was done
on the importance and benefits of these resources when applied to
teaching in the library schools. Finally, the author concluded that the
selection and acquisition of software and related activities will demand
a high level of computer, digital and information literacies from the
educators and it may require their learning and understanding, once and
again, the principles of courseware design and the relevance of
different applications to the instructional task at hand, in order to
shift the paradigm to ESS-enabled dynamic and interactive teaching and
learning environment where there will be excitement, individuality and
yet collaboration. Cite This Article As: Akinde, TA (2016). Types and Use of Educational Support Systems by Library Educators in Universities in Nigeria: Towards Quality and Effective Teaching Practices. Inter. J. Acad. Lib. Info. Sci. 4(6): 158-171.
