The digital age opens the opportunity for online learning. Yet, tutors have complained about students' lackadaisical attitudes to reading digital texts shared on learning management systems. This calls for research from the students’ angle of the begging issue. Digital texts are quite essential in teaching English, Literacy and Communication Courses, which are mandatory courses for the academic development of all students in higher institutions. This paper is a study of the use of digital texts by selected students in Nigeria with insights from socio-constructivism theory. To address the issues, specific objectives were generated and data was derived from Year 1 and Year 2 students who have studied one or two ELC courses. To analyse the responses, the paper depends on a mixed methods approach to provide in-depth analyses as students write their opinions on the benefits, challenges, and solutions. Therefore, the data are analysed quantitatively and quantitatively. Indeed, the discussion is premised on the results from the statistical data and themes of the qualitative data. The paper concludes that addressing issues raised by students on the parts of the institution, lecturers and students while taking ELC courses will enhance students’ competence, support study skills, and overall academic development of the courses’ texts.
