Title A name given to the resource Students’ learning experience within a blended learning environment in a higher education institution in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Freeman, Ahmed Antwi-Boampong, Odeneho Baffoe-Kodom Agyemang Description An account of the resource Advances in information, communication, technology (ICT) particularly the internet is driving universities worldwide into integrating technology into teaching and learning in the classrooms. Ready access to multimedia learning platforms are encouraging faculty members to move away from traditional print-based and face-to-face teaching approach into adopting blended learning. However, insufficient learner satisfaction has been noted as an obstacle in most universities. In view of this, this paper assesses the learning experience of students within a blended learning environment in a Higher Education Institution (HEIs) in Ghana Technology University College (GTUC). The driving force for this study is to enhance students’ learning experience with the use of technology within a blended learning environment. The Learning Management System (LMS) adapted to engage students within the blended learning environment is Moodle. The study employed both qualitative and quantitative methods to measure the students’ learning experience. A total of 244 respondents from three different faculties and levels offering bachelors and master’s degree were used. The study employed simple descriptive analysis and thematic analysis to measure the student's learning experience within the blended learning environment. The impression from the findings indicates that the online learning engagements enhanced the face-to-face teaching and learning and also increased retention and performance among the students. It was however noted that poor internet connectivity, reluctant of some lecturers, lack of orientation affected the effective implementation of the … Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2019 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=ZMjBDwAAQBAJ&oi=fnd&pg=PA160&dq=info:ifwMWFIeLs0J:scholar.google.com&ots=NOLXoZY8IT&sig=FlExLVqAhvCkIbpDlph_LbvUtTU Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/547fabedbf7d0db039fc02ce0f82bcf7.pdf 9395e3d6219138b55b3481ffc8911b7a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Nature-inspired search method for IoT-based water leakage location detection system Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Freeman, Daniel Ayitey Quaye, Israel Edem Agbehadji, Richard C Millham Description An account of the resource Detecting water leakage and reporting the leakage timely is one of the challenges faced by water distributing companies in developing nations. This paper employs a nature-inspired search method for optimal location search to water leakage sources for Ghana Water and Sewage Services Company. The nature-inspired method aid in mapping IoT-edge computing devices used by the water and sewage workers, especially in the cities and urban areas, to find and locate leaked pipelines. Once, a water and sewage worker receive a trigger from any location that there are leakages, the algorithm generates the location data which automatically processes the distance, geographic location, and direction. In this paper, a nature-inspired algorithm based on the behaviour of a Kestrel bird was used as the mapping function. The developed algorithm was tested and evaluated using pre-defined and random locations based … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available IEEE Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2020 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=rQvaaoMAAAAJ&citation_for_view=rQvaaoMAAAAJ:Se3iqnhoufwC Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/16c009da631f0e968fc6c04429ff7a18.pdf e77789d8adb3e863004566f8cbbc5b8b Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Relationship between capital structure and profitability of oil marketing companies (OMCs) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Patrick Baah-Acquah, Emmanuel Freeman, Ebenezer Perry Ellis Description An account of the resource The study investigated the relationship connecting capital structure and profitability of two listed firms on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) from the year 2010 to 2014. With regards to the firm’s capital structure, the study employed short-term debt to total capital, long-term debt to total capital and total debt to total capital in comparison with return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE) and net profit margin (NPM). The mixed method was used to capture both qualitative and quantitative data. The study employed both primary and secondary data and the data was analyzed using multiple regressions. The outcome from the review demonstrates that increments in short term debts and long term obligation influences the execution of the oil marketing companies. The suggestion is that managers ought to ensure that they recognize and keep up the ideal capital structure level to augment the organization's profit base.

Unfortunately, renewable energy sources are not always available at certain times making their use problematic. To solve this uncertainty, it is important to combine independent renewable energy sources and determine the right set of the renewable energy mix that is economical and reliable. The sources of renewable energy data are solar PV, wind, battery, and biomass. Different scenarios of renewable energy mix or combination considered are wind–biomass–battery, solar PV–wind–biomass, PV–biomass–battery, and solar PV–wind–biomass–battery. Knowing the economic and reliable impact of these combinations helps to make the best investment decision.

Title A name given to the resource Nature-inspired algorithms and smart city applications Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Richard C Millham, Israel Edem Agbehadji, Emmanuel Freeman Description An account of the resource The paradigm of the fourth industrial revolution has presented a unique opportunity to interconnect the cyber-physical space. The objective of this interconnection is to encourage the fusion of technologies from physical, digital, and biological spheres to encourage digitization of resources ranging from building, cars, hospital, schools, energy, and many more. It is expected that such resources can make independent decisions on their state to avoid human intervention in monitoring the state of these resources which have their direct and indirect cost implication. Having an intelligent resource monitoring regime forms the underlying structure of cyber-physical space. In this article, the authors focus on the future of integrated nature-inspired algorithms in helping create an optimized resource monitoring regime towards the smart city applications.
