Abstract : The rapid advancement of digital technologies has transformed educational delivery systems worldwide. E-learning systems have become essential tools for enhancing teaching and learning processes, especially in tertiary institutions. However, despite the availability of digital platforms, effective utilization and innovation adoption among students remain a challenge in many institutions, including Katsina State Institute of Technology and Management (KSITM). This paper aims to examine strategies for instilling innovative practices in the use of the e-learning system among students of KSITM. A quantitative research approach will be adopted using questionnaires administered to 50 students. The expected outcome is to provide actionable recommendations that will enhance innovative use of e-learning platforms and improve academic performance.

Keywords : Digital, Innovation, E-Learning, Students.
