Title A name given to the resource Prevalence of hypertension in Ghanaian society: a systematic review, meta-analysis, and GRADE assessment Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Fidelis Atibila, Gill ten Hoor, Emmanuel Timmy Donkoh, Abdul Iddrisu Wahab, Gerjo Kok Description An account of the resource Background Hypertension has become an important public health concern in the developing world owing to rising prevalence and its adverse impact on ailing health systems. Despite being a modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, hypertension has not received the needed attention in Ghana as a result of various competing interests for scarce health resources. This systematic review and meta-analysis provides a comprehensive and updated summary of the literature on the prevalence of hypertension in Ghana. Methods Major databases such as MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Google Scholar and local thesis repositories were accessed to identify population-based studies on hypertension among Ghanaians. Data extracted from retrieved reports were screened independently by two reviewers. The quality of eligible studies was evaluated and reported. A reliable pooled estimate of hypertension prevalence was … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available BioMed Central Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2021 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=ECTxVnYAAAAJ&citation_for_view=ECTxVnYAAAAJ:IjCSPb-OGe4C Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/aae8791077d1c63f76bb94033117095e.pdf 8ac5f19dc85c08ac1a82cadcc196e3b2 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 Structural Model of Students’ Interest and Self‐Motivation to Learning Mathematics Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Dominic Otoo, Wahab A Iddrisu, Justice A Kessie, Ernest Larbi Description An account of the resource Students pick up the perception that mathematics is abstract and therefore, the learning of mathematics would yield to them no benefit. With their attitude towards mathematics modelled and their interest for mathematics impacted by this automatic generated perception, they may never again appreciate the beauty of mathematics. In this paper, the researchers used structural equation modeling (SEM), to investigate the variables that affect students’ interest, among the variables, students’ confidence and motivation. The foregoing variables were conceptualized to have a direct effect on students’ interest in mathematics, whilst mathematics anxiety and students’ knowledge of the usefulness of mathematics were conceptualized to have indirect effects on their interest in mathematics moderated by students’ confidence and motivation. The result showed that significantly students’ confidence directly affects students … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Hindawi Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2018 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=ECTxVnYAAAAJ&citation_for_view=ECTxVnYAAAAJ:M3ejUd6NZC8C 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 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 The Adoption and Use of PocketKnowledge, an Institutional Repository with Integrated Social Interaction Tools Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stephen Asunka, Hui Soo Chae, Gary Natriello Description An account of the resource Transaction log analysis (TLA), content analysis, and grounded theory procedures were used to explore the adoption and use of an institutional digital repository and social networking website by the academic community of a graduate school of education in the Northeastern United States. Three successive years of usage records were gathered and analyzed to determine:(1) the rate of adoption and use of the repository by faculty, staff and students of the university,(2) the contents and levels of participation of these respective groups, and (3) the possible emergence of collaborative, online and open access scholarship within the institution. Findings show a steady growth in adoption of the repository as a content archiving resource by users, 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 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 A Case Study of the Use of a Wiki in a Higher Education Research Unit Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ting Yuan, Gary Natriello, Stephen Asunka, Jeannie Crowley, Hui Soo Chae Description An account of the resource With collaborative web technologies such as wikis becoming increasingly popular in the workplace, this case study examined how workers at an education research unit within a graduate school of education perceive the wiki as a platform for communication and collaboration, and the extent to which they actually use a workplace wiki for that purpose. 20 staff members, for whom a wiki was built, were surveyed, whilst records of their activities on the wiki over a 6-month period were retrieved and analyzed. Findings reveal that though most of these staff members have positive views towards the wiki as a space that can effectively promote information sharing and collaboration, they are not quite as enthusiastic about engaging the wiki as a medium for their daily collaborative work activities. The possible reasons for this discrepancy are discussed together with recommendations on the strategies similar organizations can adopt to help encourage and maximize wiki usage in the workplace.

Title A name given to the resource Physical vs. Digital Scholarship: Exploring Academic Resource and Information Access in a Networked Environment. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stephen Asunka, Hui Soo Chae, Gary Natriello Description An account of the resource This study explores some aspects of library use and academic information seeking behaviors of patrons of an academic library in a graduate school of education in the Northeastern United States with the purpose of finding out the impact of library digital resource availability on the use of its physical structures. Using logs of data on daily patron traffic through the library's physical spaces and corresponding logs of daily accesses of the library's website over the course of one academic year, the study analyzes user activity patterns of the library's physical spaces in conjunction with patronage of the library's digital resources. Findings indicate a lack of impact of digital resource availability and access on physical library use, but reveal patterns in information seeking activities for both physical and digital resources which have implications for academic information management.
