The study focused on the problem of e-learning and globalization in higher education in Nigeria. Globalization is a cluster of social, economic, political and cultural change which opens up unprecedented opportunities for growth and development. It is an emerging worldwide interdependence of individuals and nations through the information and communication technology (ICT) which has created new global networks without borders. The major challenges of e-learning are the creation and transfer of information in a global village. The paper recommended that internet accessibility is one of the major problems confronting all e-learning departments in Nigerian higher education. The paper concluded that the challenges of globalization in the 21st century are that of a knowledge-driven economy for sustainable development and global competiveness. Keywords: E-learning, open distance learning, globalization, ICT, computer education.
