Overview

Qualitative descriptive study reveals enhanced educator preparedness alongside infrastructural barriers in Nigerian midwifery programs, indicating requirements for digital implementation.

Key Points

To describe the development and evaluate the qualitative outcomes of a train-the-trainer program designed to support digital learning implementation among preservice midwifery educators.
Designed a 3-day workshop using the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) instructional design model.
Delivered the training across 2 cohorts to a purposive sample of 80 nominated midwifery educators and ICT officers representing 20 institutions in Nigeria in July 2025.
Analyzed qualitative post-workshop feedback on participants' perceptions and implementation readiness using qualitative content analysis.
Participants reported qualitative improvements in pedagogical understanding, technology integration skills, and preparedness to cascade digital learning within their home institutions.
Post-workshop evaluations identified significant systemic challenges, including infrastructure limitations and deficient local technical support.
Participants emphasized the critical need for continuous capacity building, regular monitoring, and sustained institutional support to ensure long-term platform viability.
