Video-Based and Electronic Record Management Digital Skills Acquisition and Instructional Delivery of Office and Information Management Education Lecturers in South-South Nigeria
Abstract
Video-based applications and electronic records management have become essential components of technology-enabled teaching in Office and Information Management education, yet lecturers may not possess these competencies to the same extent. This study examined the relationship between video-based and electronic records management digital skills acquisition and instructional delivery among OIM lecturers in tertiary institutions across South-South Nigeria. A correlational research design was adopted, and all 123 OIM lecturers in the region were studied using a census approach. Data were collected using validated questionnaires and analysed with descriptive statistics and the Pearson Product Moment Correlation at the .05 level of significance. The findings revealed that lecturers demonstrated greater competence in widely used video-based platforms than in newer video-conferencing applications, whereas competence in electronic records management was consistently high across record creation, storage, retrieval, management, and maintenance. Video-based digital skills were positively and significantly related to instructional delivery (r = .753, p < .05), while electronic records management skills exhibited a stronger positive relationship (r = .857, p < .05). The study concludes that competence in both domains is strongly associated with instructional delivery, although proficiency in video-based technologies remains uneven across platforms. It recommends targeted professional development in emerging video-conferencing applications and sustained investment in electronic records management infrastructure to enhance technology-enabled teaching in tertiary institutions.
