Title A name given to the resource Testing and Validating a Faculty Blended Learning Adoption Model Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ahmed Antwi-Boampong Description An account of the resource Faculty members are crucial to Blended Learning’s success in higher education. Despite substantial research into the elements that drive faculty adoption of BL, few have developed a model to explain how these factors combine and influence faculty intentions to teach in this mode. This study used data collected from 207 professors from 18 universities across Africa, the United States, Europe, and the Middle East to test and validate a Faculty Blended Learning Adoption Model which was derived from a Grounded Theory study. Four model constructs (institutional hygiene readiness, student BL disposition, faculty technology ready, and Pedagogy Technology Fit for BL) mediated by motivation were tested to predict faculty Blended Learning adoption using structural equation modeling. The results demonstrated an excellent model fit, with three of the six hypotheses in this study being supported. Faculty desire to utilize BL was found to be influenced by faculty technology readiness and task technology fit for BL, but not by institutional hygiene readiness or student BL disposition. This research presents a useful model for university administrators to use in their BL implementations. A thorough understanding of this model can assist decision-makers in identifying the factors that influence future faculty acceptance or resistance to blended learning, as well as helping them in enhancing acceptance and usage.

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.

Title A name given to the resource Students’ learning experience within a blended learning environment in a higher education institution in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Freeman, Ahmed Antwi-Boampong, Odeneho Baffoe-Kodom Agyemang Description An account of the resource Advances in information, communication, technology (ICT) particularly the internet is driving universities worldwide into integrating technology into teaching and learning in the classrooms. Ready access to multimedia learning platforms are encouraging faculty members to move away from traditional print-based and face-to-face teaching approach into adopting blended learning. However, insufficient learner satisfaction has been noted as an obstacle in most universities. In view of this, this paper assesses the learning experience of students within a blended learning environment in a Higher Education Institution (HEIs) in Ghana Technology University College (GTUC). The driving force for this study is to enhance students’ learning experience with the use of technology within a blended learning environment. The Learning Management System (LMS) adapted to engage students within the blended learning environment is Moodle. The study employed both qualitative and quantitative methods to measure the students’ learning experience. A total of 244 respondents from three different faculties and levels offering bachelors and master’s degree were used. The study employed simple descriptive analysis and thematic analysis to measure the student's learning experience within the blended learning environment. The impression from the findings indicates that the online learning engagements enhanced the face-to-face teaching and learning and also increased retention and performance among the students. It was however noted that poor internet connectivity, reluctant of some lecturers, lack of orientation affected the effective implementation of the … Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2011 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:UuEBAcK4md4C Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/50a185b1057c190c93971d31e7abac29.pdf 71937638fb1e1288b50217e34a6b95c6 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 From Smartphones To Computerized Business Operations: Modeling ICT Development and Electricity Consumption in Emerging Digital Economies Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isaac Ankrah, Michael Appiah-Kubi, Sampson Twumasi-Ankrah, Frank Gyimah Sackey, Richard Asravor, Brenya Boahemaa, Derrick Donkor, Lilian Arthur, Christopher Lamptey, Eric Mochiah Description An account of the resource economies imposes incessant pressure on their energy systems. It has become crucial to draw result implications for future energy sustainability by exploring all relevant issues, particularly in light of how Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) influence electricity demand. Using the West African region as the subject of analysis, this study provides insights into the implied connection, taking into account the region’s disparate cultural and linguistic patterns. The study is complemented by a result-based analysis of the socioeconomic and policy implications. The outcomes, derived from the application of a dynamic panel data model to a dataset spanning 1990-2021, show that ICT adoption has significant implications on electricity consumption, with notable positive impact observed in the long run. Interestingly, this effect is largely driven by French-speaking countries in the region. Beyond this statistical revelation, this study underscores the need for a balanced approach to address the ICT-electricity demand interplay. An important conclusion emerges: Embracing digitalization while ensuring energy security and sustainability can unlock economic growth, promote social inclusion, and foster a sustainable future for West Africa.

Title A name given to the resource Government Expenditure Pertaining to Economic Growth Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Otu Larbi-Siaw, Derrick Ofori Donkor, Tert Kaiko Description An account of the resource The study was conducted through the application of cointegration regression test was conducted to ascertain the long run relationship and elasticity for the degree of responsiveness of GDP to changing government expenditure using a data series acquired from the world data bank for the period 1990-2014. Based on the results gained from the analyses, the results of the unit root propose that all the variables in the model are stationery and the causality test suggests that GDP causes government expenditure. The results obtained from the cointegration test revealed Government Expenditure (GE) is not equal to zero (insignificant) from the correlation analysis, indicative of a positive relationship between GE and GDP which is evidence that GDP and Government Expenditure (GE) move in the same direction. An increase in one affect the other positively.

Title A name given to the resource A Framework for the Evaluation of Factors Affecting Smart Contract Adoption and Enforceability in Port Supply Chain Industry in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource David King Boison, Ahmed Antwi-Boampong, Samuel Agbesi, Dennis K Agboh Description An account of the resource This study examines the adoption of smart contracts from the legal, technological, and cultural perspectives in the port supply chain network and how these factors influence smart contracts enforceability. This study follows a Design Science Research (DSR) approach that guides developing IT artefacts and their use in practice. To develop our framework, relevance was achieved by investigating shortcomings of smart contract implementations relative to enforceability within the knowledge base of blockchain technology implementations. Additionally, thirty-five major stakeholders were interviewed for their lived experiences. The constant comparative analytical method was applied using open coding for initial categorization of smart contract concepts and axial coding for removal of overlapping concepts while iteratively testing the concepts against data.

Title A name given to the resource An Investigation Into Self-Regulated Learning in a Virtual Classroom: A High-Education Perspective Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource EA Mensah, PJ Sachi, RA Greene, FS Loglo, DO Donkor, S Bempah Description An account of the resource In the wake of the global pandemic (COVID-19) and restrictions on human-to-human contacts, higher education institutions have turned to e-learning as a solution to keep teaching and learning going. Indeed, aside from allowing the continuation of education during situations like that, the other argument supporting e-learning is because of its social constructivist pedagogy and effective self-regulated learning. However, the claim of self-regulated learning in the context of e-learning has not empirically been validated. Thus, based on responses from 116 individuals, using a mixed-method approach, we sought to evaluate the effect of the use of the Learning Management System on students' self-regulated learning. Our findings indicate that despite the advantages of convenience and access to materials provided, the system did not appear to regulate students learning with significant challenges of unreliable internet connectivity, lack of key functionalities and features ultimately impeding optimal use. The study discusses these findings and draws implications for theory and practice.

Title A name given to the resource Capital Market Development and Economic Growth’s Pertinent Classification Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Otu Larbi-Siaw, Derrick Ofori Donkor, Gloria Agyare Dankwah Description An account of the resource The study re-examines the short run and long run relationship between stock market development and economic growth in Ghana. The study employed secondary quarterly data spanning 1991-2014. To empirically test the relationship between the two variables, first, the study employed the Unit root test, Johansen’s cointegration test and the Granger causality test. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) and Error Correction Model (ECM) were also used to capture both the short-run and long-run dynamics. The results reveal that there is cointegration between the two variables and the existence of a weak long run causality flow from economic growth and stock market development. Conclusively, the extent to which Ghana stock market development affects economic growth is negative and statistically weak.
