The current study therefore focuses on the use of ICT in the teaching and learning process in Ghana. This study, employing the case study design, sampled 237 respondents comprising 37 lecturers and 200 undergraduate students using multiple sampling procedures. Survey instruments were used to collect data from the University of Cape Coast to ascertain the use of ICT in the university. The study results showed that the university provides some ICT teaching and learning resources even though these resources are not adequate. It also showed that lecturers‟ prior knowledge and skills in ICT best predicted the extent of ICT integration (by lecturers) in the teaching process (β= .593, p = 0.010). Finally the study revealed that there is a positive significant relationship (r = 0.713; α = 0.05 > p = 0.005) between ICT related courses (ICTRCs) and students‟ competencies in ICT. The findings suggest that on the part of students, ICTRCs are helping them to improve their ICT skills and knowledge even though the relationship between the variables was found not statistically significant. Based on these findings, it was suggested, among other things, that the computer centre of the university of Cape Coast be adequately resourced to develop instructional materials, and provide computer-based tutorials for lecturers and students to equip them effectively to be able to integrate ICT into their teaching 12p:, ill Sun, 01 Dec 2013 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/4188 2013-12-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/4187 THE USE OF THE INTERNET AMONG AGRICULTURAL STUDENTS AT UNIVERSITY OF CAPE COAST IN GHANA Annor-Frempong, F; Edumadze, J.K.E We are living in the age where the Internet is one of the most important tools for accessing information and knowledge to improve the welfare of humankind. All graduates from universities are expected to become internet proficient in order to participate in the Information and Knowledge Age. Therefore, Internet literacy is important to agricultural education because almost all facets of agriculture use computers. This study analyzed the use of the Internet among Agricultural Students at University of Cape Coast in Ghana in 2008/2009 academic year. A total of 200 students were randomly selected and surveyed using a content-validated questionnaire and group discussion. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data. The major finding was that the level of knowledge of students on the Internet was low. However, most students have the e-mail addresses and have received training on Internet from private firms outside the University. Occasionally, students used the private cafes in the University to access the Internet. The study recommends among others that hands-on practical approach should be adopted to enhance teaching and learning of ICTs. Moreover, students should be linked to the main University-wide wireless network to enhance access 15p:, ill Thu, 01 Jan 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/4187 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/4186 THE INTEGRATION OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING AT GHANAIAN COLLEGES OF EDUCATION: ICT TUTORS’ PERCEPTION Edumadze, John .K.E THE INTEGRATION OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING AT GHANAIAN COLLEGES OF EDUCATION: ICT TUTORS’ PERCEPTION 16p:, ill Thu, 01 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/4186 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/4185 Improving information management in the Health Service: The role of information systems development Gyampoh-Vidogah, Regina; Sallah, David; Moreton, Robert The lack of adoption of health information management systems (IS) in the health services, as part of the drive to attain greater efficiency and productivity is the subject of many debates. Recent research suggests that, this lack of adoption is partly due the widely reported failures of costly health information systems projects, fragmented and complexity of systems and the lack of focus during the development stages. The resulting consequences are resistance to change, scepticism of new technology and hence lack of innovation in IS adoption within the health service. This paper examines ways in which these issues can be overcome, the role that information systems development can play in the health service to accelerate change. This will enable the health service and users deliver appropriate and responsive services that will improve better information management. 6p:, ill Mon, 01 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/4185 2007-01-01T00:00:00Z
