Education is the process by which society deliberately transmits its accumulated knowledge, values, and skills from one generation to another through institutions. A sound educational system is therefore prerequisite to achieving progress, from the individual to the society to the economy. Discontinuity in education is a threat to learning in Nigeria and the effect of repeated closures of schools and academic programs on students’ learning has adverse effects on the students, the parents and the nation as a whole. The ongoing discontinuity in education is caused by some global issues that affect almost every continents of the world and as a result led to total lockdown. This discontinuity in education was caused by COVID-19, a newly discovered coronavirus. But using emerging computer-based technology as a resource, students’ researchers are encouraged to explore their own interests and to become active learners during the lockdown session. Hence, the efficacy and use of ICT facilities which provides e-learning platforms that will foster continued learning cannot be ignored. Thus, this study proposed E-Learning as advancement in Nigerian pedagogy amid Covid-19 Pandemic lockdown by proposing a method that will put an end to discontinuity in educational research and development that emerged as a result of COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. The proposed computer and android applications do not cost the lecturers and the students any more money than data subscription charges from their respective data network providers. Moreover, this framework also allows the institutional management to monitor these academic activities which involves research development and allow the lecturers to upload the courseware and lecture notes to the E-learning platform and interact with the students while the students will also access the e-learning platform to attend their various classes as scheduled by the lecturers or as directed by the school management. Thus, the e-learning platform serves as the meeting point or lecture room for the students, Researchers, Teachers alike.
