Title A name given to the resource IMPLEMENTING BLENDED LEARNING IN A GRADUATE COURSE IN A GHANAIAN UNIVERSITY: A PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stephen Asunka, D Okwabi Adjin Description An account of the resource Blended or Hybrid Learning - an approach to learning where Internet technologies are strategically integrated into face-to-face learning activities so as to better achieve learning objectives - is gaining worldwide acceptance, particularly in higher education. However, whilst some institutions have over a decade of experience with implementing blended learning, many others are beginning to explore its potential and feasibility within their peculiar contexts. The latter is particularly applicable to many institutions in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) that are grappling with financial constraints, low Internet bandwidth availability, high bandwidth costs, limited and unreliable power and communication infrastructure etc. Under these conditions, widespread adoption of blended learning is a considerable challenge. Consequently, research works aimed at establishing the effectiveness and validity of this mode of learning within the … 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 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&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=AXIuswEAAAAJ:tH6gc1N1XXoC 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 Mobile Learning in Ghanaian Higher Education: Students' Perception, Opinions, and Expectations Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stephen Asunka, D Okwabi Adjin Description An account of the resource Mobile learning or m-learning represents anytime and anyplace delivery of learning through Internet and wireless enabled mobile electronic devices. Personal mobile computing devices (Smartphones, iPads, Tablet PCs etc.), are becoming increasingly ubiquitous in the daily activities of people, and in academia, it has been established that students spend more time using mobile tools for informal learning and collaborative activities than on formal school activities. It is within this context that educators generally think that delivering instruction seamlessly through these mobile devices should benefit students greatly, as learning can be personalized and also made readily accessible through systems that are in their direct control. Indeed, a growing number of initiatives are demonstrating ways in which m-learning can help confront existing educational challenges and pioneer new strategies for learning.

This is because the real value of educational technologies lies in the ability of faculty to integrate these technologies into their teaching and learning, and also use these technologies to further refine their course delivery and student engagement. Incidentally, faculty members in most institutions have different needs and requirements of technology, different levels of expertise, different communication styles, and different service expectations etc. This is being compounded by the proliferation of new technologies and concepts such as mobile computing, cloud computing, BYOD etc., a situation which is leading to the emergence of very diverse technology environments that … 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 2015 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:nVrZBo8bIpAC 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 Assessing Instructor Acceptance and Use of a Tablet PC, and Implications for Mobile Learning Adoption in Ghanaian Higher Education Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stephen Asunka, Daniel Okwabi Adjin Description An account of the resource Personal mobile computing devices (Smartphones, iPads, Tablet PCs etc.), coupled with wireless communication technologies, are creating a wide array of new possibilities for technology users. For educators, the general view is that, delivering instruction seamlessly through these mobile devices and technologies should be of benefit to students, as learning can be personalized and also made readily accessible through devices that are in their direct control. Mobile learning (or m-learning) processes therefore have the potential of enhancing learning through increased learner engagement, attention and participation in instructional and collaborative activities.

Title A name given to the resource Strategies for teaching online courses within the Sub-Saharan African context: An instructor's recommendations Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stephen Asunka, Hui Soo Chae Description An account of the resource To understand better the challenges of implementing online learning in developing countries, the authors studied two consecutive iterations of an online course at a private university in Ghana during the in 2007-2008 academic year. Study participants were undergraduate pre-service teachers, and the course-Pedagogical Aspects of ICT-which hitherto had been delivered as a classroom-based lecture, was redesigned and delivered online by the instructors who also served as the researchers. This served the dual purpose of introducing the students to collaborative online learning, and providing the setting for this empirical study. Working within Africa's peculiar context of limited and unreliable technology infrastructure, and with students who preferred the traditional instructor-led approach to student-centered self-directed learning, several issues and challenges came to light. The lessons learnt, instructional strategies adopted, as well as the perspectives that the students shared in their formative and summative evaluations of the course, form the basis of a set of recommendations outlined in this paper. These recommendations therefore mainly relate to strategies that may be relevant to instructors who wish to foster young students' engagement and participation in learner-centered collaborative online learning activities within the context of limited technology infrastructure as pertains in most parts of Sub-Saharan Africa.

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.
