Title A name given to the resource Digitize or Perish Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stephen Asunka Description An account of the resource In today’s knowledge and technology driven society, most scholarly information is increasingly being produced and distributed in digital formats. Yet, in Sub-Saharan Africa, academic libraries have been very slow at joining this digital movement, and hence stand the risk of losing their relevance, particularly with regard to locally generated intellectual material. To better serve the knowledge and information seeking needs of their patrons, librarians need to reinvent services. The challenges are discussed as well as prescriptions of workable strategies that librarians, information scientists, and other stakeholders can adopt to overcome these barriers. Such strategies mostly involve appropriately leveraging the existing Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools and resources to make library resources more accessible. Consequently, digitizing indigenous intellectual resources may keep libraries from perishing and respond to user needs and information seeking habits in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Title A name given to the resource Collaborative Online Learning in Non-Formal Education Settings in the Developing World Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stephen Asunka Description An account of the resource In the present knowledge economy, individuals, particularly working adults, need to continuously acquire purposeful knowledge and skills so they can better contribute towards addressing society’s ever-changing developmental challenges. In the developing world however, few opportunities exist for working adults to acquire such new learning experiences through the formal education sector, and this makes it imperative for organizations to develop non-formal education and training programs to help address this need. With the proliferation of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) worldwide, this article recommends the adoption of Collaborative Online Learning (COL) by non-formal learning organizations as a means of helping address the education and training needs of working adults. The article thus provides an overview of COL, and then draws on the research literature on relevant theories to recommend best-practice strategies for designing and delivering effective and workable COL initiatives within non-formal education settings, particularly in the developing world.

Title A name given to the resource The Educational Potential of Media A Comparative Analysis Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stephen Asunka Description An account of the resource As they emerge, various media/technologies (radio, television, video, the internet/WWW etc.) have been welcomed by educators as agents that are capable of assisting in many aspects of the learning process. It is often believed that when used appropriately (ie interactively and with guidance), these technologies could enhance some social aspects of the learning process such as studentcentered learning, cooperative and collaborative learning, as well as components of motivation such as attention, relevance, satisfaction, feedback etc. Whilst not denying the fact that these technologies do make a positive impact on the educational landscape, majority of educational technology researchers often come to the realization that as each technology matures with time, it does not completely live up to its promises. For instance, with its onset in the early 1900s, film was heralded as a technology that would alter education as no other technology had done before. In 1913 Edison predicted that" Books will soon be obsolete in schools... scholars will soon be instructed through the eye. It is possible to touch every branch of human knowledge with the motion picture"(As cited in Cuban 1986, 11). A few years on, all motion picture could do was to supplement a few traditional courses, leaving anxious educators with very little options. The same can be said about television, video and even the computer, and as Ramsden (1992) observed, no medium, however useful, can solve fundamental educational problems.

Title A name given to the resource Creating Effective Web Based Distance Learning Environments An Evaluation Summary of One Course Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stephen Asunka Description An account of the resource Distance Learning, as the name implies, simply means that a learner is at a distance from the tutor or instructor, and that the learner uses some form of technology to access learning materials, interact with the instructor and other learners, as well as obtain some other form of support. Although practiced for well over a century, it is only in recent times that there has been a resurgence of interest in distance learning as a potentially useful strategy for addressing educational issues. This resurgence has been rooted mainly in the evolution of new information and communications technologies, particularly the computer and internet/World Wide Web. As applying these technologies in educational settings have resulted in the improvement of pedagogical and administrative models for facilitating learning at a distance, distance learning has now become synonymous with other terminologies such as internet learning, online … Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=AXIuswEAAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=AXIuswEAAAAJ:3fE2CSJIrl8C 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 Getting Distance Learning to a Tipping Point Ideas from Malcolm Gladwell Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stephen Asunka Description An account of the resource According to Gladwell (2002), social phenomena such as fashion trends, crime rates, teenage smoking, infectious diseases etc. often witness, at some particular point in time, a sudden and dramatic turn in activity, catapulting them into epidemic proportions. This tipping point of social epidemics is often attributed to one or more factors. For example when in the 1990s, crime rate in New York City suddenly dropped over 60% in 5 years, the New York City police attributed it to effective policing strategies. Criminologists on the other hand cited the decline in illicit drug trade as the main reason, whilst economists pointed to the improvement of the city's economy. Though each reason given was true to some extent, a critical analysis revealed that, none of them, either in isolation or together with the others, could wholly account for the dramatic drop in crime rate (Gladwell, 2002).

Title A name given to the resource IMPLEMENTING BLENDED LEARNING IN A GRADUATE COURSE IN A GHANAIAN UNIVERSITY: A PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stephen Asunka, D Okwabi Adjin Description An account of the resource Blended or Hybrid Learning - an approach to learning where Internet technologies are strategically integrated into face-to-face learning activities so as to better achieve learning objectives - is gaining worldwide acceptance, particularly in higher education. However, whilst some institutions have over a decade of experience with implementing blended learning, many others are beginning to explore its potential and feasibility within their peculiar contexts. The latter is particularly applicable to many institutions in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) that are grappling with financial constraints, low Internet bandwidth availability, high bandwidth costs, limited and unreliable power and communication infrastructure etc. Under these conditions, widespread adoption of blended learning is a considerable challenge. Consequently, research works aimed at establishing the effectiveness and validity of this mode of learning within the … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available IATED Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2016 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=AXIuswEAAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=AXIuswEAAAAJ:tH6gc1N1XXoC 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 MOBILE LEARNING IN GHANAIAN HIGHER EDUCATION: STUDENTS'PERCEPTIONS, OPINIONS AND EXPECTATIONS Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stephen Asunka, D Okwabi Adjin Description An account of the resource Mobile learning or m-learning represents anytime and anyplace delivery of learning through Internet and wireless enabled mobile electronic devices. Personal mobile computing devices (Smartphones, iPads, Tablet PCs etc.), are becoming increasingly ubiquitous in the daily activities of people, and in academia, it has been established that students spend more time using mobile tools for informal learning and collaborative activities than on formal school activities. It is within this context that educators generally think that delivering instruction seamlessly through these mobile devices should benefit students greatly, as learning can be personalized and also made readily accessible through systems that are in their direct control. Indeed, a growing number of initiatives are demonstrating ways in which m-learning can help confront existing educational challenges and pioneer new strategies for learning.

Title A name given to the resource FACULTY ADOPTION AND USE OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES IN GHANAIAN HIGHER EDUCATION: A CASE STUDY OF THE GHANA TECHNOLOGY UNIVERSITY COLLEGE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stephen Asunka, D Okwabi Adjin Description An account of the resource Colleges and universities all over the world continue to invest in technologies in support of teaching and learning, and are also working at getting faculty and instructors to use these technologies effectively to impact positively on learning outcomes. This is because the real value of educational technologies lies in the ability of faculty to integrate these technologies into their teaching and learning, and also use these technologies to further refine their course delivery and student engagement. Incidentally, faculty members in most institutions have different needs and requirements of technology, different levels of expertise, different communication styles, and different service expectations etc. This is being compounded by the proliferation of new technologies and concepts such as mobile computing, cloud computing, BYOD etc., a situation which is leading to the emergence of very diverse technology environments that … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available IATED Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2015 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=AXIuswEAAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=AXIuswEAAAAJ:nVrZBo8bIpAC 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 Instructor Acceptance and Use of a Tablet PC, and Implications for Mobile Learning Adoption in Ghanaian Higher Education Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stephen Asunka, Daniel Okwabi Adjin Description An account of the resource Personal mobile computing devices (Smartphones, iPads, Tablet PCs etc.), coupled with wireless communication technologies, are creating a wide array of new possibilities for technology users. For educators, the general view is that, delivering instruction seamlessly through these mobile devices and technologies should be of benefit to students, as learning can be personalized and also made readily accessible through devices that are in their direct control. Mobile learning (or m-learning) processes therefore have the potential of enhancing learning through increased learner engagement, attention and participation in instructional and collaborative activities.
