However, academicians are apprehensive about teaching in blended learning environment. A major study to understand the factors influencing faculty to adopt blended learning in the university has allowed a preliminary grounded theory model to be developed. This model identifies key factors, including pedagogy fitness, faculty technology affinity, student positive disposition to BL and institutional readiness lead positively to motivate faculty to adopt BL. The outcome of this research is a faculty blended learning adoption model which highlights the process of how faculty members situate themselves within the construct of adoption. Furthermore, the study highlights that faculty blended learning can be understood through … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Springer US 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=riwB9JUAAAAJ&citation_for_view=riwB9JUAAAAJ:Hck25ST_3aIC Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/f0ab1a5ac83d770f6034e297ced7496e.pdf e6ebf3cf97d30262db0f5affdb3c35e0 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 a sustainable framework for computer based health information systems (CHIS) for least developed countries (LDCs) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson Description An account of the resource Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to argue for a theoretical framework by which development of computer based health information systems (CHIS) can be made sustainable. Health Management and promotion thrive on well-articulated CHIS. There are high levels of risk associated with the development of CHIS in the context of least developed countries (LDC), thereby making them unsustainable. Design/methodology/approach – This paper is based largely on literature survey on health promotion and information systems. Findings – The main factors accounting for the sustainability problem in less developed countries include poor infrastructure, inappropriate donor policies and strategies, poor infrastructure and inadequate human resource capacity. To counter these challenges and to ensure that CHIS deployment in LDCs is sustainable, it is proposed that the activities involved in the implementation of these systems be incorporated into organizational routines. This will ensure and secure the needed resources as well as the relevant support from all stakeholders of the system; on a continuous basis. Originality/value – This paper sets out to look at the issue of CHIS sustainability in LDCs, theoretically explains the factors that account for the sustainability problem and develops a conceptual model based on theoretical literature and existing empirical findings.

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.

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 adopted blended learning approach. The university subsequently adopted a BL policy which, among other things, directed faculty members to teach courses via a mix of face to face and online using a Moodle Learning Management System (LMS). Findings from this study present the identified factors that influence and impact the adoption of BL program in institutions. Findings from this study suggest that institutional decision to adopt or reject BL is influenced by the level of the institutional desire to adopt blended learning and the level of the institution’s intention to adopt blended. The outcome of the findings is developed into an institutional adoption model to guide managers of institutions intending to transition to BL delivery model.

Three successive years of usage records were gathered and analyzed to determine: (a) the numbers and categories of persons signing up to use the repository during each school semester, (b) the type of content being archived and its rate of growth, and (c) the possible influence of the repository on collaborative, online and open access scholarship within the institution. Findings show a steady increase in the usage of the repository for archiving and sharing digital resources, and an item-tagging scheme that suggests user preference of the resource as a platform for enhancing professional rather than personal interests.

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 Traditional beliefs and willingness to pay for improving a mining-polluted river in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Lilian Arthur, Godwin Kofi Vondolia, Isaac Dasmani Description An account of the resource Pollution of water resources is a widespread challenge across the globe which requires effective policy measures. However, in many instances, state institutions are weak in addressing these problems. One then wonders what alternative management regimes can be used in place of public policies. This study examined the willingness to pay (WTP) for the improvement of the Ankobra River, a mining-polluted river in the Western Region of Ghana, using the contingent valuation method. Primary data was collected from 611 respondents from 8 communities in the Prestea-Huni Valley Municipality and were analysed using probit and interval regression models. The findings suggest that respondents were concerned about the current polluted state of the Ankobra River and traditional beliefs regarding the spiritual value of the river were still very relevant to them. Consequently, respondents with the belief that the river is … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Elsevier 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=8wFumg4AAAAJ&citation_for_view=8wFumg4AAAAJ:zYLM7Y9cAGgC Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/b8308ebd6a435d5af9dc65a4609a3c8c.pdf da59441c269fb7db4b7b0d5c557dc34c 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 Transformative Governance: Utilizing Social Media Dynamics to Improve Public Service Implementation in the Digital Age in Indonesia Description An account of the resource The widespread use of social media has fundamentally changed the way people communicate, collaborate, and interact and led to significant shifts in the social structure and contemporary cultural order. This study aims to analyze the role of social media in revolutionizing the implementation of public services in the digital era. The method used is a qualitative approach by utilizing Google Collab and Nvivo’s analysis tools. Key findings show that internet use is dominated by adolescents and adults, which accelerates the adoption of public services through social media, mainly due to the high level of technological literacy among users. The results of this study contribute to the literature by emphasizing the role of social media as an effective tool to overcome the limitations of conventional communication in public services. The practical implications of this study show the potential for improving public service standards at the international level through the optimization of social media in reaching the community more widely and efficiently.
