Educational institutions all over the world now adopt the use of digital media in teaching and learning. This is due to the numerous opportunities and advantages which these media forms have over the traditional forms. Computer-based instructions (CBI) are, currently, the in-thing in most institutions globally. Most university examinations are also administered using computer, and not pen and paper anymore. Nigeria is not an exception. Most Nigerian tertiary institutions have embraced digital media forms in teaching and learning. What is not known is how lecturers in these institutions view, or perceive the use of digital media forms. The major objective of this study was, therefore, to ascertain how lecturers in the field of communication and media studies perceive the use of digital media forms in teaching and learning. Technology Determinism Theory (TDT) served as the theoretical framework for this study. Mass Communication lecturers from universities in five South Eastern States of Nigeria made up the population of the study. It was a census study, since the population was manageable. In-depth interview was used for data collection, while the Explanation Building Technique (EBT) was used to analyse the data. Results obtained from the study revealed an impressive buy-in in the use of digital media for communication and digital studies by Nigerian universities. Results also revealed that digital media are effective, and have comparative advantages over mass media in communication, learning and teaching. The paper recommended consistent capacity building on ICTs for lecturers, and massive investment on ICTs by Nigeria universities.
