Social Media and E-Government Services in Africa
description: Social media has been described as having the potential to enhance the delivery of e-government services. The chapter relies on examples of social media use in providing e-government services in South Africa, Ghana, Kenya, Morocco, Rwanda and Nigeria. From the literature, the chapter found that social media provides a convenient and effective ways for governments to communicate with citizens on e-government services. Social media enables citizens to gain access to e-government sites and facilitates engagement with users of e-government services. The use of government portals to provide e-government services can be augmented with social media accounts providing communications about the services and serving as an avenue to engage the public about e-government services. This chapter makes a strong case for integrating e-government portals with social media accounts in the African public sector. This is a preview of subscriptio

Social media information and student performance: the mediating role of hedonic value (entertainment)
description: Purpose This study evaluates the mediating role of social media entertainment on social information (content) and social media performance, during the COVID-19 era. Design/methodology/approach Primary data were randomly gathered from 373 students from two top universities (public and private) in Ghana, a sub-Saharan African economy.

Social Sciences & Humanities Open
description: This design-based research (DBR) investigates the redesign of a 13-month interdisciplinary teacher preparation program to co-prepare secondary and special education teacher candidates to plan and implement evidencebased practices to meet content and literacy needs of all learners within secondary classrooms. The Theory of Change explores mechanisms for change under the umbrella of Universal Design for Learning (UDL). The UDL framework can support teacher candidates in meeting the needs of students with exceptionalities in the general education classroom, yet few studies have explored the in-depth application of UDL in authentic settings across preparation program duration. DBR methods organize study design, iterative data collection, and retrospective analysis of artifacts including candidates' edTPA portfolios and action research papers. Findings revealed strengths and challenges in candidates’(n= 14) application of components. Results for specific components and various disciplines are discussed. Implications for collaborative preparation of general and special education candidates are identified.
