Abstract

Technology and digital media have become important in contemporary arts education, reshaping
how teaching and learning are carried out in Nigeria. This paper argues that the integration of digital
tools such as projectors, laptops, smartphones, and multimedia platforms has improved the delivery
of arts education by making learning more interactive, practical, and engaging. It also highlights that
these tools expand creative expression, increase access to global artistic resources, and enable
students to showcase their work beyond local boundaries. From a constructivist perspective, learning
is enhanced when students actively engage with knowledge, and digital technologies support this
process by encouraging collaboration and hands-on participation in creative activities. However,
despite these benefits, challenges such as poor infrastructure, high cost of digital devices, weak
internet connectivity, and limited digital literacy continue to hinder effective adoption, particularly in
under-resourced schools. The paper concludes that while technology has positively transformed arts
education, its impact remains uneven due to existing structural limitations. It therefore recommends
improved investment in digital infrastructure, continuous training for educators, and targeted support
for disadvantaged institutions to ensure equitable access to digital learning opportunities.
