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.

Title A name given to the resource Nature-inspired search method for IoT-based water leakage location detection system Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Freeman, Daniel Ayitey Quaye, Israel Edem Agbehadji, Richard C Millham Description An account of the resource Detecting water leakage and reporting the leakage timely is one of the challenges faced by water distributing companies in developing nations. This paper employs a nature-inspired search method for optimal location search to water leakage sources for Ghana Water and Sewage Services Company. The nature-inspired method aid in mapping IoT-edge computing devices used by the water and sewage workers, especially in the cities and urban areas, to find and locate leaked pipelines. Once, a water and sewage worker receive a trigger from any location that there are leakages, the algorithm generates the location data which automatically processes the distance, geographic location, and direction. In this paper, a nature-inspired algorithm based on the behaviour of a Kestrel bird was used as the mapping function. The developed algorithm was tested and evaluated using pre-defined and random locations based … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available IEEE 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&amp;hl=en&amp;user=rQvaaoMAAAAJ&amp;citation_for_view=rQvaaoMAAAAJ:Se3iqnhoufwC Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/6a054a1607f09f2dfed0e014c325a08a.pdf d8fcb7fd6d61eaf280261ee9d74805d1 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 Nature-inspired search method for location optimization of smart health care system Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Freeman, Israel Edem Agbehadji, Richard C Millham Description An account of the resource This study is an ongoing work to develop a smart mobile health care system for the delivery of health care services to the aged. In this paper, we focus on developing a mapping function algorithm that matches the location of a device used by nurses to that of a patient, especially the aged, to find the optimal distance and direction. After a patient has requested health care service, the algorithm generates random location data, then computes the distances and direction within a geographical location. The mapping function algorithm was inspired by the behaviour of the kestrel bird. The proposed algorithm was evaluated by testing with pre-determined and random location data on latitude and longitudinal data. The experiment results demonstrate that the mapping function was able to find the optimal distance between two different locations.

Title A name given to the resource Green Computing Model for Computer Users in Ghana: An Approach to Sustainable Energy Use Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource EMMANUEL FREEMAN, PATRICK BAA-ACQUAH Description An account of the resource This study intends to develop a sustainable green computing model for computer users in Ghana. What necessitated for this study includes issues of the human environment and conservations of energy in Ghana. To achieve this, both quantitative and qualitative methods are used to capture data for the findings and analysis. A sample size of 200 computer users for both primary users (domestic users) and secondary users (manufacturers and commercial users) in various organizations in Ghana is used. The research integrated the Rogers Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) Model and Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) Framework Model to develop a proposed model to capture all the dimensions and elements needed to adopt and practice Green Computing in Ghana. 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. The general impression from the study is that, computer users in Ghana generally have either low levels of green computing habits and practices or none at all. This is especially true for the primary users than for the secondary users. The two differ significantly in their adherence to eco-friendly and energyefficient computing practices. To promote Green Computing adoption and practice in Ghana, a proposed model has been developed to guide the use of server virtualization, energy conservation, and proper way to dispose of e-waste.
