dc.description.abstractThe indispensable presence of social media in higher institutions prompted educators to integrate social media in education. This study investigated university lecturers’ readiness towards the integration of social media for teaching: a case study of university of Ilorin. The study was anchored on virtual learning community and adopted a descriptive type of survey. It used researchers’ designed questionnaire to elicit responses from 99 randomly sampled lecturers from 3 faculties of university of Ilorin. The questionnaire consisted of 30 items with a 0.83 reliability index after a test re-test pilot was conducted at an interval of two weeks. Weighted mean score was used to answer the three raised research questions. Findings of the study revealed that majority of lecturers are ready to use social media for teaching but not all lecturers are skilled in the use of social media for its integration in teaching. In this vein, the study recommended among others that university management should organize workshops to train lecturers on the use of social media for its integration in teaching.
