Abstract
The outbreak
of Covid-l9 pandemic has a nostalgic implication on education and its methods
of teaching. This ushered in online teaching method also known as e-learning,
which was found to be suitable and more convenient in reducing Covid-19
negative impact on education method of delivery. This new normal introduced and
necessitates faculty members' upgrade in skills and competences to be able to
carry out online teaching activities with ease. Faculty who are trained and
supported as professionals for online teaching are likely to understand and
deliver online models effectively. This study adopted a survey design with a
population of 51 faculty members of Library and Information Science departments
from MOUAU and IMSU. Twenty-one (21) item rating scale questionnaire was used
to elicit information from the respondents while mean scores and simple
percentages were used to analyze the collected data. Findings revealed that
these skills and competencies required for effective on line education delivery
can be accessed through workshops, seminars. penal discussion, mini courses,
directed publications and teleconferences. Faculty disinterest in professional
development for online teaching is identified among others as a major challenge
for faculty professional development. Recommendations were made by the
researchers.
