Title A name given to the resource Digitize or Perish Subject The topic of the resource Library Science Description An account of the resource In today’s knowledge and technology-driven society, most scholarly information is increasingly being produced and distributed in digital formats. Yet, in Sub-Saharan Africa, academic libraries have been very slow at joining this digital movement and hence stand the risk of losing their relevance, particularly with regard to locally generated intellectual material. To better serve the knowledge and information seeking needs of their patrons, librarians need to reinvent services. The challenges are discussed as well as prescriptions of workable strategies that librarians, information scientists, and other stakeholders can adopt to overcome these barriers. Such strategies mostly involve appropriately leveraging the existing Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools and resources to make library resources more accessible. Consequently, digitizing indigenous intellectual resources may keep libraries from perishing and respond to user needs and information seeking habits in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Title A name given to the resource Online Learning in Higher Education in Sub-Saharan Africa Subject The topic of the resource Online Learning, Higher education Description An account of the resource This study adopted a qualitative case-study approach to examine the attitudes, experiences, and perceptions of undergraduate students who were enrolled in an online, collaborative learning course at a Ghanaian private university. Data sources included surveys, student and instructor journal entries, email records, individual interviews, and Web-server logs. The study found that the students did not respond favorably to online constructivist teaching approaches such as asynchronous discussions and ill-structured project-based learning activities, and perceived collaborative online learning within their context as a complex, more demanding, and time-consuming experience.

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 analyzed 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. Implications of these findings for further research and practice are discussed within the context of technology adoption and use in the Ghanaian and Sub-Saharan African higher education contexts.

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.

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 Challenges of online learning of English/French language in higher education in Ghana. 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.
