Title A name given to the resource Strategies for Institutionalizing Blended Learning in Higher Education Institutions: A Case Study of a Ghanaian Public University Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ahmed Antwi-Boampong Description An account of the resource This paper presents strategies adopted by a higher education institution towards the implementation of its BL policy framework. It does so by reviewing the BL implementation process of a public university in Ghana, noting that there are barriers that have impeded the uptake of blended learning, for which reasons it examines the strategies that can be implemented to overcome these barriers. The insights are drawn from a case study involving qualitative approaches, utilizing interviews with stakeholders in the public university. The paper examines the question: How do educational institutions employ Blended Learning (BL) strategies that contribute to the transformation of the university? Using an inductive approach, the researcher interviewed twenty-two management staff and used Strauss and Corbin’s constant comparative method as the analytical technique to analyze the data. This paper develops an institutional strategy framework that can be used by managers in higher education to facilitate change processes, overcome faculty resistance, and embed blended learning in institutions. The seven constructs of this strategic framework consist of institutional vision and approach, promotion and planning, integrated infrastructure, motivation and encouragement, training, assessment and evaluation and sanctions.

Title A name given to the resource Transitioning into Fully Blended Learning: A Model for Faculty Blended Learning Adoption Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ahmed Antwi-Boampong Description An account of the resource Higher education institutions the world over is turning to Blended Learning (BL) as the preferred teaching and learning delivery approach. However, to attain campus-wide adoption requires an understanding of the influencing factors that motivate academics towards teaching in BL mode. Given this context, this paper presents findings from a qualitative study that investigates the lived experiences of academics as they adopt BL for teaching and learning in a Ghanaian university. Adopting a Grounded Theory as the methodology for this research within a sequential qualitative research design, data was collected from multiple sources. Primary data was obtained from in-depth interviews of 22 academics carried out to understand how they construct and navigate the BL teaching experiences. Secondary data was obtained from policy documents, faculty training signing sheets and Learning Management Systems (LMS) activity logs. The data was analysed using the constant comparative method and thematic analysis and triangulated to organize the themes and concepts for the proposed model. The outcome of the analytical process is theorized into an adoption model and grounded in the literature. The findings of the research provide very useful and practical model for administrators to stimulate Faculty motivation as they embark on BL implementation. The model indicates that external and internal environmental factors stimulate Faculty motivation to make a choice regarding the teaching modalities they prefer. It posits that as Faculty members begin to implement teaching process using technology, they become sensitized and begin to internalize the … 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://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=riwB9JUAAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=riwB9JUAAAAJ:8Xgff_V0N9gC Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/770b61490bf76c28f449f2a04460e4c0.pdf bbb90b55945d86aa5b65475446305258 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 an institutional blended learning adoption model for higher education institutions Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ahmed Antwi-Boampong, Anthony Junior Bokolo Description An account of the resource There has been considerable interest in Blended learning (BL) and how it is transforming teaching and learning in higher education institutions. Research in this area is focused on course level issues in relation to how students and faculty members interact and adopt blended learning, with very limited focus on institutional adoption. There is the need for more institutional adoption research to guide how higher education institutions shape policies as they transition from the traditional face to face delivery model to fully blended universities. This study adopts a grounded theory methodology to investigate institutional BL adoption initiatives. A public university in Ghana, which is in its early/adoption implementation stage, is selected as a case study and analysed using the constant comparative analytical technique. The university management took a decision in 2013 to transition from face to face delivery to a fully … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Springer Netherlands Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2022 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=riwB9JUAAAAJ&citation_for_view=riwB9JUAAAAJ:QsaTk4IG4EwC Language A language of the resource English 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 Assessing Factors Influencing the Adoption of Technology in the Port Supply Chain Industry in the West African Sub-Region: a Case Study of Integrated Customs System in Ghana. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ahmed Antwi-Boampong, David King Boison, Josephine Agbedoawu, Musah Osumanu Doumbia, Augustine Blay Description An account of the resource The study investigated factors influencing the adoption of technology in the port supply chain industry in the West African Sub-region, using the Ghana Customs Integrated System (GCIS) as a case study. This non-experimental quantitative study leveraged the extended unified theory of the acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT2) as the theoretical foundation to assess whether performance expectancy (PE), behavioral intent (BI), effort expectancy (EE), social influence (SI), facilitating conditions (FC), hedonic motivation (HM), price value (PV), and habit (HT) were predictors of the intention of port users to participate in a GCIS in the port sector while moderated by age. The sample comprises 906 individuals who live in Ghana and work in the formal sector of the port industry. SurveyMonkey platform sent a solicitation email to individuals who met the inclusion criteria with a link that allowed consenting participants to complete a questionnaire of 32 questions. The study used principal component analysis (PCA) and confirmatory factor analysis (structural equation modeling) to analyze and report data. Findings show that only performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and habit influenced the behavioral intention of port users to participate in the integrated customs management system in the Ghanaian port sector. Facilitating conditions, social influence, hedonic motivation, and price value did not affect behavioral intention. Neither did age have a moderating effect on any variable’s influence on behavioral intention. This study offers a deeper insight into the adoption of BYOD in the Ghanaian workplace.

The study used non-experimental quantitative correlational design and the Extended Unified Theory of the Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) as the theoretical foundation to assess whether performance expectancy (PE), behavioral intention (BI), effort expectancy (EE), social influence (SI), facilitating conditions (FC), hedonic motivation (HM), price value (PV), and habit (HT) were predictors of the intention of port users to participate in a Fintech program with age as a moderating factor. The sample comprised 407 individuals who work in the port industry and are between 18 and 64 years old; these were randomly selected through the SurveyMonkey platform. The study used principal component analysis (PCA), confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modeling to analyze and report the results. Findings show that PE, EE, and HT were predictors of the behavioral intention of port users to participate in a Fintech in the maritime and ports in Ghana. FC, SI, HM, and PV values could not predict BI for port users to enroll on a Fintech program. Neither did age have a moderating effect on the predictors variable influence on behavioral intention. This study offers a deeper insight into the adoption of Fintech in the port industry and sub-Saharan Africa.

Title A name given to the resource A thematic and grounded theory understanding of faculty adoption of blended learning in higher education Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ahmed Antwi-Boampong, Emmanuel Freeman, Hannah Muat Description An account of the resource This paper assesses the teaching and learning experiences of faculty understanding of blending learning in a Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Ghana. The driving force for this paper is the transformational agenda of most HEIs to integrate technology with teaching and learning. The study posits that the adoption of blended learning for teaching and learning by faculty members in HEIs interplay with external and internal factors within and without the universities. Nonetheless, blended learning approaches in teaching boils down to motivation as the core concern around which these afore mentioned factors revolve. The experiences of fifteen faculty members using blended learning at the Ghana Technology University College was analysed using Thematic Analysis and Grounded Theory to develop a BL model.

Title A name given to the resource An investigation into barriers impacting against faculty blended learning adoption Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ahmed Antwı-boampong Description An account of the resource Blended Learning has not attained campus-wide integration and adoption as the preferred teaching delivery mode by faculty members a few years after the management of a public university in Ghana decided to move from face to face delivery to the blended mode. This study investigates the barriers impacting faculty Blended Learning in Ghana. The study uses an exploratory qualitative approach to investigate the barriers to faculty non-adoption of blended learning. It also investigates their perceptions and experiences. A total of 22 faculty members from four faculties of the university were purposively selected and interviewed for this study. The data were coded and analyzed using a constant comparative analytical method. Thematic analysis was then applied to generate themes for the findings. The study found four themes that inductively constitute barriers to faculty BL adoption. These are infrastructure, faculty concerns, institutional, technical support barriers. The study provides insights into the lived experiences of faculty members relative to the impediments they face in adopting BL. Thus, administrative managers need to avert their attention to institutional related barriers, faculty related concerns, technical barriers, and infrastructure-related barriers when implementing BL.

Title A name given to the resource Testing the impact of environmental taxation and IFRS adoption on consumption‐based carbon in European countries Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ahmed Samour, Mohammed Musah, Sagiru Mati, Fethi Amri Description An account of the resource Several governance regulations have been adopted in European countries to promote environmental sustainability, such as environmental taxation and environmental disclosures in financial reports. In this context, this paper examines the linkage between environmental taxation, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and environmental sustainability in European countries from 1994 to 2018. Unlike earlier empirical studies, the present work is the first to assess the impact of environmental taxation and IFRS adoption on consumption-based carbon emissions. In order to yield valid and reliable outcomes, the modern econometric method that is vigorous to cross-sectional dependence and slope heterogeneity was employed. Likewise, the study uses the novel method of moment quantile regressions (MMQR).

Petroleum Economics and Finance Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Ghana Technology University Library Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource September, 2019 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Riverson Oppong, (Phd) Description An account of the resource The work analyzes Oil price effect fluctuations on performance of Petroleum products Marketing Companies in Nigeria. Trends of Oil price fluctuations and performance of Petroleum products Marketers are described here. The work further examines the effect of the fluctuation in Oil price on the performance of Petroleum products Marketers, and further checks the causal relationship between fluctuation of Oil price and the performance of Petroleum products Marketers in Nigeria between 1970 and 2018. Secondary data was employed for the analysis. The data was sourced from CBN Annual Report. Graphs were used to describe the trends of variables while the ARCH-GARCH analysis, granger causality test, and Vector Autoregressive analysis were employed in the analysis. Unit root test and the Co-integration test were also used to check for stationarity and long-run relationship, respectively. Jarque-Bera statistic for crude oil price (3.509752) with a probability of 0.172929 indicates normality, while that of Profit after tax is 6.370729 with probability value of 0.041363 indicates that there is no normal distribution. The stationarity test shows that all variables are I(1). Cointegration test showed the existence of one co-integrated equation at 5 per cent level of significance. The Error Correction Term (ECT) has a coefficient of -0.316976 with probability value 0.0184, which is significant at 5%. This indicates that in the short run, performance adjust to about 31% of the price fluctuation, while the remaining 69% is accounted for in the long-run. The F statistics of the ARCH LM test results also indicate that there is no ARCH effect. The F value of 2.02960 for causality from COP to LPAT and with probability value of 0.1564, shows that Oil price fluctuation does not granger-cause Performance of Petroleum products Marketers in Nigeria. Similarly, there is the absence of causal relationship from LPAT to COP, with F statistic and probability value of 0.95211 and 0.4020 respectively, thus there exist no causality between COP and LPAT. The study recommends that Oil marketers should move from just describing or forecasting oil price volatility as high or low to understanding the dynamics of the oil market. https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/291c066842c38b8ea531bcd99ae19eca.pdf d722c6e7bf447d9079f47c3fd6ddda0c Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
