Title A name given to the resource Democracy and Use of Social Media by Public Sector Organisations in Africa Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson, Description An account of the resource The adoption and use of social media is influenced in part by the prevailing political environment. The use of social media in Africa is fraught with some challenges due to the lack of political will, and sometimes opposition from some government institutions. The chapter provides the reasons why social media is viewed as anti-democratic within the African socioeconomic context. Some of the toxic factors have been found to include the promotion of misinformation, fake news, hate speech, and voter manipulation. The chapter also provides some examples of social media ban in Africa supervised by governments that perceive the technology as destructive. This chapter as well advocates for the promotion of social media because of its democracy-deepening function and concludes that social media must be promoted to develop democracy on the African continent Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Springer Nature Switzerland AG Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2023 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-22642-7_5 Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/204c9c7bcbc35dd1a0d6a86f7d3b2848.pdf 44dff52be88e25ff302ad24860f98295 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 TOWARDS THE ADOPTION OF M-LEARNING TECHNOLOGIES IN TERTIARY EDUCATION Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource EMMANUEL FREEMAN Description An account of the resource This study explores how mobile learning (M-learning) technologies can be used to support educational delivery among tertiary institutions in Ghana. This has become necessary because of the increasing rate of distance and open learning and the shift from the traditional class room environment to a virtual class room environment. To achieve this, the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and both quantitative and qualitative methods are used to capture data for the findings and analysis. A total sample size of 500 students and 100 lecturers from five selected tertiary institutions participated in the study. The findings indicate that both faculty and students are ready for this shift of education delivery paradigm. However, the institutions have made very little effort to accept the practice in their schools. This is as result of the facts that the awareness and implementation of m-learning in most institutions are not in place. As a result, a proposed model has been developed to enhance mobile learning education delivery.

Title A name given to the resource From Smartphones To Computerized Business Operations: Modeling ICT Development and Electricity Consumption in Emerging Digital Economies Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isaac Ankrah, Michael Appiah-Kubi, Sampson Twumasi-Ankrah, Frank Gyimah Sackey, Richard Asravor, Brenya Boahemaa, Derrick Donkor, Lilian Arthur, Christopher Lamptey, Eric Mochiah Description An account of the resource The integration of new digital technologies amid a rising population in many emerging economies imposes incessant pressure on their energy systems. It has become crucial to draw result implications for future energy sustainability by exploring all relevant issues, particularly in light of how Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) influence electricity demand. Using the West African region as the subject of analysis, this study provides insights into the implied connection, taking into account the region’s disparate cultural and linguistic patterns. The study is complemented by a result-based analysis of the socioeconomic and policy implications. The outcomes, derived from the application of a dynamic panel data model to a dataset spanning 1990-2021, show that ICT adoption has significant implications on electricity consumption, with notable positive impact observed in the long run. Interestingly, this effect is largely driven by French-speaking countries in the region. Beyond this statistical revelation, this study underscores the need for a balanced approach to address the ICT-electricity demand interplay. An important conclusion emerges: Embracing digitalization while ensuring energy security and sustainability can unlock economic growth, promote social inclusion, and foster a sustainable future for West Africa.

Title A name given to the resource Research in Globalization Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Richard Kofi Asravor, Lilian Akosua Arthur, Vera Acheampong, Christopher Lamptey, Maxwell Yeboah Description An account of the resource The rate at which Ghana’s domestic debt is increasing has raised concerns among economists and policymakers, due to the former’s potential effect on private sector growth, economic growth rate and debt sustainability. The objective of this study is to examine Ghana’s domestic debt, its sustainability on economic growth rate and the causal relationship between debt and growth. Using data from the World Bank and the Ministry of Finance for the period between 1994 and 2018, we estimate an ARDL Model to examine the effect of domestic debt on economic growth and private sector investment. We adopt the cointegration and fully modified regression to examine domestic debt sustainability. The results indicate that increases in Ghana’s domestic debt are growth-enhancing while increased in importation is growth-inhibiting. The fully modified regression and Johansen co-integration test model also suggest that the recent path of Ghana’s domestic debt is sustainable, though weak.
