Abstract
The integration of digital technologies in education has transformed the learning landscape, raising critical ethical concerns. Therefore, the researchers looked at the ethical dimensions of digital education in Nigeria. The researchers also reviewed some related literature and qualitative analysis was carried out. Virtue ethics theory and connectivism learning theory were used to guide this research. It was concluded that digital education ethics should be monitored and enforced and that ongoing dialogue on digital education ethics should be encouraged. It was recommended amongst others that context-specific digital education ethics guidelines should be developed for Nigerian institutions and government should integrate digital literacy and ethics into educational curricula.
