Title A name given to the resource An Exploration of Experiences and Determinants of Blended Learning Adoption Among Students in Higher Education Institutions: A Case Study of Ghana Technology University Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ahmed Antiwi-Boampong, Lene Sørensen Description An account of the resource This paper presents the experiences and determinants of blended learning adoption among students in a higher education institution in Ghana. As students are increasingly being exposed to teaching and learning deliveries in which both traditional classroom and online methods are employed to deliver instructional content through blended learning (BL), the indications are that blended courses offer them convenience and flexibility that face to face delivery alone may not. However, while both classroom-based and fully online instruction are well understood, little is known about the students' BL experience. This paper uses the blended learning initiative at the Ghana Technology University College (GTUC) as a case study to investigate the perception of blended learning adoption among students. The population comprised of 57 students who participated in a BL course at the Faculty of Computing and Information … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Academic Conferences International Limited 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=riwB9JUAAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=riwB9JUAAAAJ:zGdJYJv2LkUC 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 Towards an Institutional Blended Learning Adoption Model for Higher Education Institutions Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Antwi-Boampong Ahmed, Anthony Junior Bokolo Description An account of the resource There has been considerable interest in Blended learning (BL) and how it is transforming teaching and learning in higher education institutions. Research in this area is focused on course level issues in relation to how students and faculty members interact and adopt blended learning, with very limited focus on institutional adoption. There is the need for more institutional adoption research to guide how higher education institutions shape policies as they transition from the traditional face to face delivery model to fully blended universities. This study adopts a grounded theory methodology to investigate institutional BL adoption initiatives. A public university in Ghana, which is in its early/adoption implementation stage, is selected as a case study and analysed using the constant comparative analytical technique. The university management took a decision in 2013 to transition from face to face delivery to a fully adopted blended learning approach. The university subsequently adopted a BL policy which, among other things, directed faculty members to teach courses via a mix of face to face and online using a Moodle Learning Management System (LMS). Findings from this study present the identified factors that influence and impact the adoption of BL program in institutions. Findings from this study suggest that institutional decision to adopt or reject BL is influenced by the level of the institutional desire to adopt blended learning and the level of the institution’s intention to adopt blended. The outcome of the findings is developed into an institutional adoption model to guide managers of institutions intending to transition to BL delivery model.

Title A name given to the resource A Program in Visual Basic for Simulation and Control of Acidic Wastewater Neutralisation System Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource S Fosu, EB Danuba, F Krampah, Theophilus Joe-asare Description An account of the resource The primary objective of this paper was to investigates the use and benefits of simulation for basic instrumentation and process control education. This simulation approach provide valuable solution by giving clear insights into complex systems. A graphic computer simulation program, for controlling and neutralising acidic wastewater has been developed. The simulator (pH-neutraliser) was developed using Microsoft Visual Basic Programming language and process control principles. The program was designed to provide an intuitive interface by correcting and adjusting the acidic pH of wastewater to 7 (neutral pH) before discharge into the environment. The acidic wastewater can be neutralised by alkali reagents like caustic soda or lime. The simulator was designed to operate in both manual and automatic modes during the neutralisation process. In the manual mode, the pH-neutraliser alerts an operator by sounding an alarm and suggests the percentage by which the alkali reagent valve should be opened to add required amount to bring the pH of the wastewater to 7. This is done when the measured value from the pH sensor and transmitter is not equal to the desired value. In the automatic mode, the neutraliser is expected to automatically open the alkali reagent valve to the required percentage to add the needed amount of alkali to make the pH of wastewater neutral. The pH neutralisation automation of wastewater can be achieved with the aid of pH analytical sensor and transmitter, signals, controller and feedback control mechanism.

Title A name given to the resource Transitioning into Fully Blended Learning: A Model for Faculty Blended Learning Adoption Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ahmed Antwi-Boampong Description An account of the resource Higher education institutions the world over is turning to Blended Learning (BL) as the preferred teaching and learning delivery approach. However, to attain campus-wide adoption requires an understanding of the influencing factors that motivate academics towards teaching in BL mode. Given this context, this paper presents findings from a qualitative study that investigates the lived experiences of academics as they adopt BL for teaching and learning in a Ghanaian university. Adopting a Grounded Theory as the methodology for this research within a sequential qualitative research design, data was collected from multiple sources. Primary data was obtained from in-depth interviews of 22 academics carried out to understand how they construct and navigate the BL teaching experiences. Secondary data was obtained from policy documents, faculty training signing sheets and Learning Management Systems (LMS) activity logs. The data was analysed using the constant comparative method and thematic analysis and triangulated to organize the themes and concepts for the proposed model. The outcome of the analytical process is theorized into an adoption model and grounded in the literature. The findings of the research provide very useful and practical model for administrators to stimulate Faculty motivation as they embark on BL implementation. The model indicates that external and internal environmental factors stimulate Faculty motivation to make a choice regarding the teaching modalities they prefer. It posits that as Faculty members begin to implement teaching process using technology, they become sensitized and begin to internalize the … Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2023 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=riwB9JUAAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=riwB9JUAAAAJ:8Xgff_V0N9gC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/8819afb998145a718e2d8a781f4cafbf.pdf d53dc01de16b61daef22133ba55d3656 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 FACTORS INFLUENCING EMPLOYEES'INTENTION TO PARTICIPATE IN A BRING YOUR OWN DEVICE IN THE PORT SUPPLY CHAIN NETWORK: A CORRELATIONAL STUDY USING UTAUT2 THEORETICAL Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource DAVID KING BOISON, AHMED2AUGUSTINE ANTWI-BOAMPONG, DOUMBIA BLAY, MUSAH OSUMANU4 ASIEDU ESTHER, KWAME OWIREDU SARBENG Description An account of the resource The study aimed to assess the factors that influenced port users' willingness to participate in BYOD programs in Ghana's Maritime and Port sector. The extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) was used as the theoretical framework for the quasi-quantitative study. The study examined whether eight factors were predictors of the intention of Ghanaian employees to participate in a BYOD program, moderated by social influence. The study used principal component analysis (PCA) in SPSS and structural equation modeling in Stata to analyze and report the data. The results showed that only three factors, namely Performance Expectancy (PE), Effort Expectancy (EE), Facilitating Conditions (FC), and HT, significantly influenced employees' behavioral intention (BI) to participate in a BYOD program, while Social Influence (SI), Hedonic Motivation (HM), and Price Value (PV) had no effect on Behavioral Intention (BI). Age did not moderate the influence of any factor on BI. The study provides insights into the port supply chain network's usage of BYOD and will aid academics in explaining the discrepancies between the UTAUT2 theoretical framework's predictions for different industries and specialties. The study's findings will also be useful for researchers who aim to implement the UTAUT2 theoretical framework to understand employees' BI to join the BYOD program in any industry. From a practical perspective, the study will assist managers in the port business in Ghana and the sub-region in focusing on the important structures that constitute the initial steps to introducing BYOD in the port supply chain industry.

Title A name given to the resource Improving Remedial Measures from Incident Investigations: A Study Across Ghanaian Mines Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Theophilus Joe-Asare, Eric Stemn Description An account of the resource Background Learning from incidents for accident prevention is a two-stage process, involving the investigation of past accidents to identify the causal factors, followed by the identification and implementation of remedial measures to address the identified causal factors. The focus of past research has been on the identification of causal factors, with limited focus on the identification and implementation of remedial measures. This research begins to contribute to this gap. The motivation for the research is twofold. First, previous analyses show the recurring nature of accidents within the Ghanaian mining industry, and the causal factors also remain the same. This raises questions on the nature and effectiveness of remedial measures identified to address the causes of past accidents. Secondly, without identifying and implementing remedial measures, the full benefits of accident investigations will not be achieved.

Title A name given to the resource Assessment of the potability of underground water from a small scale underground mine: A case study Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Theophilus Joe-Asare, Michael Stanley Peprah, Maxwell Mingle Opoku Description An account of the resource This study sought to investigate the potability of underground water from the Mohammed and Brothers Small Scale Underground Mine in Tarkwa by analysing two samples of the underground water to determine the water’s physico-chemical parameters and the metals concentrations and coliforms in it. The physico-chemical parameters were analysed using Oyster series multi-meter (341350A) and Hydro test HT 1000 photometer. The result showed that the parameters were within the recommended World Health Organisation (WHO) and United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) limits except for salinity and apparent colour. Analyses for metals and arsenic were conducted using the Varian Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (Varian ASS 240 FS). All the metals analysed were within the standards set by WHO and USEPA but the level of arsenic was above limit. The level of total coliforms and faecal coliforms were determined at the Intertek Service Limited, Tarkwa. The result showed that the levels were within the standards set by WHO and USEPA. The Water Quality Index (WQI) was calculated using the analysed water parameters. High levels of arsenic and salinity in the water renders it unsafe for drinking. Treatment of the water to reduce the arsenic and salinity levels to the standards set by WHO and USEPA will make it suitable for drinking and other domestic purposes.
