It is no longer news that the standard of education in the third world countries is fast falling. Nigeria is not an exception. This may not be unconnected with human factors, infrastructural decay and government lackadaisical attitude in tackling the problems in the education sector. Many universities especially the recently established ones can boast of very few experienced lecturers. The economic crisis in the country coupled with poor remuneration for teachers has contributed in no small measure to brain drain in the system. The challenge therefore is to optimize the little ‘brain’ that is left for the benefit of all students across the whole countries as opposed to the current trend of localizing the lecturers. This paper discusses e-learning, it examine the challenges and prospect of e-learning paradigm and propose integrated e-learning system architecture for the purpose of sharing the knowledge of few experts and professional still remaining in the universities system.
