Title A name given to the resource Effect of Optimization of Risk Allocation in Construction Projects Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Ebo Hayfron Description An account of the resource The process of risk management is made of identification of risks, analysis of risks, Reponses to risks and the monitoring of risks. The identification of risk can be regarded as the process where an organization identifying potential risks that have the possibility of affecting the success of a project. The allocation of risks can significantly influence the behavior of the project participants, and further impacts on the cost of project and the performance of the project. This is the main reason why there is no agreement on an optimal risks allocation within the participants in the construction industry. In respect to this, the research seek to evaluate the effect of optimization of risk allocation in construction projects in Ghana. However, due to the current practice of allocation of risks within the construction industry, risks can be allocated statistically at the beginning of the construction projects via a contractual clauses, in spite of the fact that, most construction projects are dynamic in nature. The research design to be used for the study will include the mixed research approach. This approach involve the use of both qualitative and quantitative research method. According to Creswell (2003), the use of the mixed research approach provide researchers with wider view of data gathering and analysis. The random and purposively sampling technique was employed during the gathering of data. The random sampling technique was used to gather data from the selected construction companies, while the purposively sampling technique used to gather data from selected key personnel within the construction companies. Based on the data gathered from the respondent, the main current practice of risks in the Ghanaian construction industry is the allocation of risks to parties that lack the expertise and resources to manage them. Also, all procurement routes that are employed do not create any room for proper and effective allocation of risks. Risks are very dynamic, therefore, there is the need to create a collaborative, cooperative and teamwork project environment that will bring risks under control in all construction projects that will be executed Subject The topic of the resource MSc Engineering Project Management Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource January 2017 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Mr. Otu Larbi-Siaw https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/5825c459ccfd72cdcdaf621996290226.pdf e11c1640a400bbb81855be4605d3e366 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 Saving the planet: An Assessment of green computing practice among tertiary institutions in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource EMMANUEL Freeman Description An account of the resource This study assesses the current state of adoption and practice of Green Computing among Ghana Tertiary Institutions. The driving force for this investigation includes issues of conducive academic environment and humanity, energy conservation, disposal, and recycling of electronic devices in tertiary institutions. To achieve this, both quantitative and qualitative methods are used to capture data for the findings and analysis. Data were collected from a sample of 200 computer users of faculty members, administrative staffs and students among five selected Universities and Polytechnics Analysis of the study has shed light on the levels of green computing knowledge and practice possessed by computer users. The scenario that emerged from the findings is less than desirable. Given the importance of green computing awareness, knowledge, practice and adoption, it is recommended that academic institutions and government agencies to take the first step in educating the public, regarding the" underlying principles and practice" of green computing. The general impression from the study is that, computer users in the selected schools generally have either low levels of green computing habits and practices or none at all. Also, the institutions have made very little effort to accept the practice in their schools. This is as a result of the facts that, the awareness of Green IT in most institutions and the practices among individuals are not in place; hence a lot of people are ignorant about this new development of technology.

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 A framework for activity-based computer programming instruction in a blended learning environment Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Freeman Description An account of the resource This study develops a framework for an activity-based computer programming instructional approach in a blended learning environment of higher education institutions. The driving force for this study is the poor performance of most undergraduate students in the domain of computing science programs to comprehend and write computer programs to solve real-world problems. In addition, a fundamental problem with most HEIs in undergraduate computer science educational programmes is how to teach programming and how students can comprehend and write computer programs. Hence, the study developed a framework and a curriculum mediation for computer programming instruction in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Ghana. The action research approach was used to conduct the research which spanned through three different semesters from September 2019 to October 2020. The mixed method approach was used to capture data from 300 students and nine lecturers in three different HEIs in Ghana and different computer programming classes within a blended learning environment.
