Title A name given to the resource Implementing constructivist pedagogy in a flipped mode in a postgraduate course Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stephen Asunka, Emmanuel Freeman, L Sheeta Arthur Description An account of the resource Higher education institutions the world over are presently embarking on a drive towards introducing educational technologies into the teaching and learning processes so as to increase flexibility in course delivery, improve access to learning resources, enhance student engagement and participation in all learning activities, and consequently improve learning outcomes. With online learning resources such as instructional videos becoming more easily accessible and more appealing to the present generation of students, one technology-oriented instructional strategy that is gaining popularity in higher education is flipped teaching. This is an approach that reverses the traditional face-to-face teaching model: learners acquire basic content outside of class (typically video lectures), and then engage in more active and collaborative learning processes in class. Class activities therefore provide learners and instructors … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available IATED 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=AXIuswEAAAAJ&citation_for_view=AXIuswEAAAAJ:yMeIxYmEMEAC 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 Overcoming barriers to faculty adoption of a Learning Management System: The case of Regent University College in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stephen Asunka Description An account of the resource Following a realization that a Web-based Learning Management System (LMS) deployed by a University in Ghana remained largely unused by instructors, the university’s management intervened. The university wishes to expand access to its educational resources through the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). Since instructors play a pivotal role in this direction, all instructors were trained, motivated, and appropriately resourced to enable them to use the LMS effectively to deliver courses. Five years down the line, however, most instructors are still ambivalent towards using the LMS software. This chapter discusses the case extensively and concludes by suggesting that one approach that might help solve the problem will be to engage all instructors in participatory activities aimed at collectively identifying and addressing the issues and challenges.

Title A name given to the resource Fostering Effective Student Engagement in a First Year University Course by Harmonizing Web-based Resources with Interaction: The WebQuest Approach Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stephen Asunka Description An account of the resource Following a realization that undergraduate students at a private university in Ghana were unenthused with the lecture-based teaching approach and thus engaged very minimally in their learning processes, this study investigated the potential of the WebQuest as a technology for helping foster student engagement in their learning activities, and consequently improving learning outcomes. Several studies involving the WebQuest have been published, none conducted within the Sub-Saharan African context with its unique challenges of limited technology access and availability has been reported, hence the present study. Literature abound with evidence suggesting that effective student engagement correlates positively with successful learning outcomes, and with the understanding that computing technologies, when integrated appropriately into learning processes, can help improve learner engagement, performance and satisfaction, this study investigated this phenomenon within the Ghanaian higher education context. Five students and one instructor participated in the study, and over the course of one academic semester, teaching and learning processes were varied by introducing WebQuest-based learning. Data were gathered by observing students as they engaged in the learning processes, and also assessing student learning and satisfaction by looking at their performance and their responses to survey questionnaire. Findings indicate that the WebQuest can potentially foster student engagement in learning and also help improve learning outcomes. Due to the limitation of the study by way of the small number of participants, the study … Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2016 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=AXIuswEAAAAJ&citation_for_view=AXIuswEAAAAJ:4vMrXwiscB8C Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/a41001c26171c9baf07d1b4f8a551386.pdf 87c90b3e492e98709d22a9d54f249af5 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 “We Had a Blast!” An Empirical Affirmation of Blended Learning as the Preferred Learning Mode for Adult Learners Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stephen Asunka Description An account of the resource As many important issues pertaining to blended learning within the Sub-Saharan African context remain unexplored, this study implemented a blended learning approach in a graduate level course at a private university in Ghana, with the objective of exploring adult learners' attitudes, experiences and behaviors towards this learning approach, as well as their perceptions towards blended learning in general. Forty-eight graduate students participated in the study as they engaged in a six-week long blended learning course. Qualitative research methods were used to gather data which were analysed using grounded theory coding techniques, descriptive statistics and content analysis. Findings reveal high levels of student engagement and satisfaction with the learning processes, and an overwhelming endorsement of blended learning as a preferred mode of learning.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Michael Owusu Tabiri, Ivy Jones-Mensah, Daniel Arkoh Fenyi, Stephen Asunka Description An account of the resource This study investigated the challenges that learners of English and French encountered during their participation in online language learning in a university in Ghana. The study adopted a quantitative survey approach by administering online questionnaire to undergraduate students at the university and analysing the data using descriptive statistics.150 students participated in the study. The results indicate that majority of the students generally feel that online language learning is bedeviled with a lot of challenges, notably technology availability, accessibility, and affordability, as well as the lack of capacity on the part of language instructors to effectively deliver in their online teaching activities. The study further discusses students' opinions and experiences with the objective of determining the prospects of online language learning within the Ghanaian tertiary education context.

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 The viability of E-textbooks in developing countries: Ghanaian university students' perceptions Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stephen Asunka Description An account of the resource As higher education institutions the world over are gradually transitioning to e-textbooks, this study explored Ghanaian undergraduate students’ awareness, experiences and perceptions of e-books, particularly with regard to their acceptance of e-textbooks as eventual replacements of physical textbooks. A total of 253 undergraduate students at a private university in Ghana participated in the study by responding to paper-based questionnaires administered over a four-week period. Analysing data with simple descriptive statistics and content analysis, the findings reveal that students generally have a fair idea of what e-books are, and also acknowledge the potential benefits of e-textbooks. However, a significant number do not presently use e-books. On the whole, students are strongly averse to using e-books and other Internet-based electronic resources in place of physical books for academic purposes.
