Mobile learning anytime, anywhere: What are our students doing?Helen Farley
Recent developments in mobile technologies have provided unique opportunities for learning and teaching. This paper reports on recent research undertaken at a regional Australian university in order to understand how higher education students are using mobile devices to support their learning. A survey instrument was developed and deployed and the data collected analysed quantitatively. Upon analysis, these data demonstrate that students are predominantly using laptop computers to support their learning, but their use of smart phones and tablets are also used for a number of specific learning activities. Further analysis indicates that in spite of the limitations in the formal university infrastructure, many students would like to use their mobile devices for formal
learning as well as informal learning.

This research aimed to find the level of digital literacy and adequate and inadequate domains in each pre-service teachers of English education digital literacy group. Quantitative research with digital competence framework or DCF then adjusted and validated through the expert judgment by Aiken V as the main questionnaire occurred to measure the level of digital literacy. Indonesia and Thailand pre-service teacher in various universities participated in this research. The research found that: i) The most level of digital literacy whether in Indonesia and Thailand, the pre-service teacher has an intermediate level followed by basic and advanced and ii) The researcher claims ‘information’ as an inadequate domain and ‘implement tech to learning’ as the adequate domain in each level of digital literacy. Further research is needed to examine effectiveness of project-based learning, problem-based learning, and case study in enhancing digital literacy through qualitative and quantitative research.
Integrating Technology in teaching and learning in universities will ensure collaborative learning, incorporate different style of learning, saves time and effort of faculty members and learners, improves communication and access to information, widens the scope of distance education and helps learners to acquire critical, analytical and creative skills. The Government of Ghana through the Ministry of Education seems to be making progress in integrating technology into the teaching and learning process in tertiary institutions. However, the increasingly vital role of data, especially big data, in many applications, presents the field of statistics with unparalleled challenges and many students have phobia for working with data. This study therefore aims to assess the impact of technology integration and motivation in teaching and learning of statistics in some selected public universites. A survey questionnaire was distributed randomly to a total of 200 faculty members and undergraduate students from some selected Public Universities in Ghana, including Kwane Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi Technical University, Akenten Appiah- Menka University of Skill Training and Entrepreneurial Development and University of Education, Winneba. The data for this mixed research method were analyzed quantitatively using IBM SPSS and AMOS (Version 23) software and qualitatively using the responses from respondents through an inductive and deductive process. The outcome indicates great improvement in students’ academic performance in statistics through the integration of technology and motivation in teaching and learning. For future studies, there is the need to consider integrating Technology in all subjects at the tertiary level of education.
Animal science is an essential curriculum in animal husbandry and veterinary professional education. This study delved into the use of ICT in teaching animal science using blended learning and the benefits of blended learning for teachers and students. The study utilized a descriptive survey design. The target population consisted of animal science students and teachers selected colleges of education in the Volta region. The population of Agric science students was 100, and the Agric science tutors in the three colleges were 20. With the use of Yamane formula, the sample size was 80 and 19 respectively for students and the teachers. The fundamental instrument for data collection was questionnaires. Four and five scaled Likert like tests were designed to elicit information on the level of ICT skill of teachers and their students, and on benefits of blended learning to teachers and students respectively. The information gathered was analyzed using SPSS version 21 and the hypotheses were tested using Analysis of Covariance. The result established that both teachers and students of animal science department in the Colleges that participated in the study, are skilled in ICT and that both teachers and students benefited from using blended learning model in teaching animal science in colleges of education in Ghana. It was also discovered from hypothesis tested that no significant difference existed between the ICT skill level of teachers and students, and no significant difference also existed between the level of benefit derived from blended learning by both teachers and students. It was concluded that both teachers and students of animal science in the colleges of education in Ghana benefited from blended learning model because they are skilled in ICT. Hence, it was recommended that teachers and students must be well trained to acquire sufficient ICT skills in the usage of basic ICT applications in order to obtain the full benefits of the blended learning model.
This study attempts to assess information communication technology as pedagogy for teaching in some selected secondary schools in Edo State, Nigeria. The study employed a descriptive survey method and questionnaire was the instrument used for data collection. The total population for the study is one hundred and twenty nine (129) secondary school teachers in four selected secondary schools in Etsako west local government area of Edo state. The population of this study is not too large and as such the entire population was taken as representative sample using purposeful sampling technique. It was revealed from the study that ICT is not employed as pedagogy for teaching by majority of the teachers in the secondary schools studied, most teachers have negative attitude towards the use of ICT, a majority of the secondary school teachers studied have positive perception of perceived ease of teaching and learning with ICT and Lack of ICT facilities in secondary schools, lack of commitment from government and school management, lack of motivation and training, lack of ICT policies in secondary schools, lack of technical support from government and private sector, lack of qualified teachers to teach ICT and Teachers’ anxiety over being replaced by technology are the major factors militating against teachers readiness and effective use of ICT in secondary schools in Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo state. The study recommends that Government should be committed to full implementation of ICT in secondary schools by way of formulating policies and implementing the existing one if any with all sincerity.

The objective of this study is to determine the major challenges of implementing e-learning systems in far western region of Nepal. The results of this study will serve as a basic for improving higher education in developing countries. There are many commercial or free e-learning systems available on the market. Most of these e-learning systems provide lot of functionality and modules. Some courses are completely based on e-learning resources instead of traditional learning model. E-learning system also offers graphs and charts of student’s results. This system is based on linear workflow. That means students can see new learning resources and tests only after previous was done. Students can also create their own learning plan by defining dates. System is able to export this plan into general calendar format or remind students via e-mail.

The Impact of Digital Media on the Decentralization of Power and the Erosion ...ijtsrd
The impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has gained considerable attention in recent years. The adoption of digital technologies and the internet has resulted in declining influence and power for traditional gatekeepers such as publishing houses and news organizations. Simultaneously, digital media has facilitated the emergence of new voices and players in the media industry. Digital medias impact on power decentralization and gatekeeper erosion is visible in several ways. One significant aspect is the democratization of information, which enables anyone with an internet connection to publish and share content globally, leading to citizen journalism and bypassing traditional gatekeepers. Another aspect is the disruption of conventional media industry business models, as traditional organizations struggle to adjust to the decrease in advertising revenue and the rise of digital platforms. Alternative business models, such as subscription models and crowdfunding, have become more prevalent, leading to the emergence of new players. Overall, the impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has brought about significant changes in the media landscape and the way information is shared. Further research is required to fully comprehend the implications of these changes and their impact on society.

The Role of Mentoring and Its Influence on the Effectiveness of the Teaching ...ijtsrd
This paper reports on a study which was conducted to investigate the role of mentoring and its influence on the effectiveness of the teaching of Physics in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The study adopted the convergent parallel mixed methods design, focusing on respondents in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analysed separately, and the results were compared to see if the findings confirm or disconfirm each other. The quantitative analysis found that majority of the respondents 72 of Physics teachers affirmed that they had more experienced colleagues as mentors to help build their confidence, improve their teaching, and help them improve their effectiveness and efficiency in guiding learners’ achievements. Only 28 of the respondents disagreed with these statements. With majority respondents 72 agreeing with the statements, it implies that in most secondary schools, experienced Physics teachers act as mentors to build teachers’ confidence in teaching and improving students’ learning. The interview qualitative data analysis summarized how secondary school Principals use meetings with mentors and mentees to promote mentorship in the school milieu. This has helped strengthen teachers’ classroom practices in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. With the results confirming each other, the study recommends that mentoring should focus on helping teachers employ social interactions and instructional practices feedback and clarity in teaching that have direct measurable impact on students’ learning achievements.

This study primarily focuses on the design of a high side buck converter using an Arduino microcontroller. The converter is specifically intended for use in DC DC applications, particularly in standalone solar PV systems where the PV output voltage exceeds the load or battery voltage. To evaluate the performance of the converter, simulation experiments are conducted using Proteus Software. These simulations provide insights into the input and output voltages, currents, powers, and efficiency under different state of charge SoC conditions of a 12V,70Ah rechargeable lead acid battery. Additionally, the hardware design of the converter is implemented, and practical data is collected through operation, monitoring, and recording. By comparing the simulation results with the practical results, the efficiency and performance of the designed converter are assessed. The findings indicate that while the buck converter is suitable for practical use in standalone PV systems, its efficiency is compromised due to a lower output current.

Sustainable Energy by Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O. Sadikuijtsrd
Energy becomes sustainable if it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Some of the definitions of sustainable energy include the considerations of environmental aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions, social, and economic aspects such as energy poverty. Generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel are renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy sources. Worthy of note is that some renewable energy projects, like the clearing of forests to produce biofuels, can cause severe environmental damage. The sustainability of nuclear power which is a low carbon source is highly debated because of concerns about radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and accidents. The switching from coal to natural gas has environmental benefits, including a lower climate impact, but could lead to delay in switching to more sustainable options. “Carbon capture and storage” can be built into power plants to remove the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, but this technology is expensive and has rarely been implemented. Leading non renewable energy sources around the world is fossil fuels, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non renewable energy source, although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, but the material used in nuclear power plants is not. The paper addresses the issue of sustainable energy, its attendant benefits to the future generation, and humanity in general. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.

Concepts for Sudan Survey Act Implementations Executive Regulations and Stand...ijtsrd
This paper aims to outline the executive regulations, survey standards, and specifications required for the implementation of the Sudan Survey Act, and for regulating and organizing all surveying work activities in Sudan. The act has been discussed for more than 5 years. The Land Survey Act was initiated by the Sudan Survey Authority and all official legislations were headed by the Sudan Ministry of Justice till it was issued in 2022. The paper presents conceptual guidelines to be used for the Survey Act implementation and to regulate the survey work practice, standardizing the field surveys, processing, quality control, procedures, and the processes related to survey work carried out by the stakeholders and relevant authorities in Sudan. The conceptual guidelines are meant to improve the quality and harmonization of geospatial data and to aid decision making processes as well as geospatial information systems. The established comprehensive executive regulations will govern and regulate the implementation of the Sudan Survey Geomatics Act in all surveying and mapping practices undertaken by the Sudan Survey Authority SSA and state local survey departments for public or private sector organizations. The targeted standards and specifications include the reference frame, projection, coordinate systems, and the guidelines and specifications that must be followed in the field of survey work, processes, and mapping products. In the last few decades, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of geomatics activities and measurements on the Earths surface in space and time, together with observing and mapping the changes. In such cases, data must be captured promptly, standardized, and obtained with more accuracy and specified in much detail. The paper will also highlight the current situation in Sudan, the degree to which survey standards are used, the problems encountered, and the errors that arise from not using the standards and survey specifications.

Towards the Implementation of the Sudan Interpolated Geoid Model Khartoum Sta...ijtsrd
The discussions between ellipsoid and geoid have invoked many researchers during the recent decades, especially during the GNSS technology era, which had witnessed a great deal of development but still geoid undulation requires more investigations. To figure out a solution for Sudans local geoid, this research has tried to intake the possibility of determining the geoid model by following two approaches, gravimetric and geometrical geoid model determination, by making use of GNSS leveling benchmarks at Khartoum state. The Benchmarks are well distributed in the study area, in which, the horizontal coordinates and the height above the ellipsoid have been observed by GNSS while orthometric heights were carried out using precise leveling. The Global Geopotential Model GGM represented in EGM2008 has been exploited to figure out the geoid undulation at the benchmarks in the study area. This is followed by a fitting process, that has been done to suit the geoid undulation data which has been computed using GNSS leveling data and geoid undulation inspired by the EGM2008. Two geoid surfaces were created after the fitting process to ensure that they are identical and both of them could be counted for getting the same geoid undulation with an acceptable accuracy. In this respect, statistical operation played an important role in ensuring the consistency and integrity of the model by applying cross validation techniques splitting the data into training and testing datasets for building the geoid model and testing its eligibility. The geometrical solution for geoid undulation computation has been utilized by applying straightforward equations that facilitate the calculation of the geoid undulation directly through applying statistical techniques for the GNSS leveling data of the study area to get the common equation parameters values that could be utilized to calculate geoid undulation of any position in the study area within the claimed accuracy. Both systems were checked and proved eligible to be used within the study area with acceptable accuracy which may contribute to solving the geoid undulation problem in the Khartoum area, and be further generalized to determine the geoid model over the entire country, and this could be considered in the future, for regional and continental geoid model.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Barriers and Motivators to Implementation of an E Learning and Multimedia Technology towards Improving School Education Standards in Mathematics and Health Education in Nakivale Refugee Settlement, Uganda

class material especially when class size is large. Uganda in
particular, rural areas usually face the problem of shortages
in the number of teachers, and even these teachers use poor
teaching methods that are hardly interactive and less
beneficial to learners, high student failure rates and drop
outs, lack of access to modern teaching and learning
resources/facilities, teachers’ lack of Information
Communication Technology (ICT) pedagogy skills, low
teacher to high student ratio, and general lack of interest in
education (UNHCR, 2014).
Generally, teachers may not be willingtoteachinrural areas.
Traditional educational systems may not provide a solution
to this problem, but new technologies be helpful by
recording different teacher courses or through E-learning
and Multimedia Technology (Sawsan,etal,2012).Besides,E-
learning and Multimedia Technology differs significantly
from traditional classroom education because it can be both
synchronous and asynchronous (Desai, et al, 2008). With
synchronous e-learning, learners and teachers interact
simultaneously at a specific time usingtheinternetfordirect
communication. With asynchronous e-learning,thelearners
and teachers interact at different times by placingmessages,
interacting with content uploaded on digital disks or
coursework in files that are accessed at differenttimes.With
either approach, e-learning provides the advantage of
allowing learners to gain knowledge without requiring the
physical presence of the teachers on the institution's
campus, which theoretically increases learners’ access to
education and provision of quality learning.
Evidence from literatures affirm that the implementation of
ICTs in the education sectors of the world have been with
utmost success (Obaseki (2017,Kimwise,2016).Buttressing
this statement in the words of Kasse and Balunywa (2013),
adoption and usage of technologies in education has
successfully implementedE-learninginthedeveloped world.
Similarly, the expansion in the use of the Internet inthemid-
1990s is observed to have substantially changed the
characteristics of education, initially in developed countries
and increasingly in developing countries. Moya et al.,
observe that the application of e-learning improves the
quality of teaching and learning, efficacy and accessibility
(Moya et al. 2011).
Using E-learning in education can also reduce costs for the
institution and for the leaners (Mazen and Haitham, 2013).
Notwithstanding, literature (UNHCR, 2014) show that
uptake and implementation of E-learning and Multimedia
Technology has not been evenly dispersed in education
sectors especially in schools located in refugee
camps/settlements in developing countries. A multitude of
issues interrelate to form barriers to implementation of E-
learning and Multimedia Technology including, high cost
involved, socioeconomic and technological conditions, lack
of a systematic approach to teaching and learning,
awareness and attitudes towards digital technologies,
administrative and technical support, staff development,
limited infrastructure and little expertise in theuseofdigital
technology tools (Oye et al. 2011).
The issue of ICT use in education and the factors influencing
the adoption of E-learning in refugee camps/settlements in
developing countries have not been investigated before.
Furthermore, the education institutions in developing
countries like Uganda are facing stakeholder pressures to
implement many of the educational practices found in
western education systems (Tulinayo, 2018; Mazen and
Mohammad, 2013), including E-learning. This study
examined the barriersand motivatorstotheimplementation
of an E-Learning and Multimedia Technology towards
improving school education standards in mathematics and
health education in Nakivale Refugee Settlement, Uganda.
The following research questions guided this study.
1. Does the quality of the content in the implemented E-
learning and Multimedia Technology affect learners’
attitude towards improving school educationstandards
in mathematics and health education in Nakivale
Refugee Settlement, Uganda?
2. Does the implemented E-learning and Multimedia
Technology quality affect learners’ attitude towards
improving school education standards in mathematics
and health education in Nakivale Refugee Settlement,
Uganda?
3. Is the support by ICT technical staff affect learners’
attitude towards implemented E-learning and
Multimedia Technology in improving school education
standards in mathematics and health education in
Nakivale Refugee Settlement, Uganda?
4. Does stakeholder’s involvement affect learners’attitude
towards implemented E-learning and Multimedia
Technology in improving school education standards in
mathematics and health education in Nakivale Refugee
Settlement, Uganda?
The remainder of this paper is organized as follows. In
Section 1 we present the Background of the Study; Section 2
We Discuss Related Works; Section 3 ResearchMethodology
is presented. In section 4 Data Analysis and Presentation. In
Section 5 Findings and Discussion. In Section 6 Conclusions
and Further Works.
2. RELATED WORKS
Numerous studies have investigated issues affecting
acceptance and adoption of E-learning and multimedia
technologies. Venter et al., (2012) contend that amongthese
issues affecting the acceptance and usage of e-learning
technologies in most institution in developing countries
include the technological infrastructure, high cost of
technology, instructional efforts, graduate competencies,
technology satisfaction, managementsupport,methodology,
resource accessibility and availability, culture of education
and learning styles, intellectual investment, design of
assistive tools, and global business (Ndume et al., 2008).
Chen (2012) on the other hand examined the relationship
between e-learning systems use and overall job outcomes
based on the informationsystemmodel in Taiwan.Thestudy
established that quality factors (information and system)
had significant relationship with perceived usefulness, and
that system quality has a significantly positive association
with user satisfaction. Furthermore, both perceived
usefulness and user satisfaction influenced system use, and
the overall job outcome.
The results from the study by Lawoga (2014) whoexamined
factors that predict students' continual usage intention of
web-based learning content management systems in
Tanzania, with a specific focus at Muhimbili University of
Health and Allied Science (MUHAS) results showed that

quality-related factors (instructor and system) were a key
predictor of perceived usefulness and user satisfaction, and
that information quality was found to significantly affect
perceived usefulness. Furthermore, perceived usefulness
was found to be a key determinantofusersatisfaction, which
in turn predicted continual usage intention of students
within the e-learning system undertheanalysis.Asdemands
for education and e-learning continue to expand in Africa
and particularly in Uganda, it is important to establish the
issues that influence the perceptions of learners and
teachers when using e-learning and multimedia technology.
The success of an e-learning system relies on both its early
adoption (acceptance) and its sustained usage (Tai et al.,
2012). It is therefore important to understand the relevant
motivators and barriers that affect its implementation.
3. METHODOLOGY
Cross sectional survey design was used to help in collecting
quantitative data. This design helped in collecting large
amount of data from leaners and teachers the target
population was 1271 learners from primary seven, senior
two and teachers in the five primary and one secondary
schools in Nakivale refugee settlement in Isingiro District,
Uganda. Furthermore, learners from primary seven and
senior two were selected for this research because they
could easily understand the process during the
implementation of the E-learning and Multimedia
technology.
The six schools were selected based on division
representation within the Nakivale refugee settlement,
where sample size was selected by use of Krejcie and
Morgan (1990). Krejcie and Morgan (1990) standardized
tables show the sample sizes for different population (or
proportion of it) at 95% confidence level,a samplingerrorof
5% is accepted by most evaluations. From Krejcie and
Morgan’s table (1990), the optimal (effective and valid)
sample size to represent a population of 1271 students was
297. According to Krejcie and Morgan (1990) tables, the
smaller the number of cases in the target population, the
larger the sample proportion of that population and vice
versa. In line with the above reasons, an accessible sample
size of 297 i.e. 277 learners and 20 teachers were selected.
Data was collected using a closed structured questionnaire
and interview guide. The closed structured questionnaire as
the main data collection tool, allowed the researcher to
collect large amount of data from the sampled participants
who were learners. While the interview guide was
administered to the teachers to complement the responses
from the leaners. A pilot study for the draft questionnaire
was carried out in order to establish its reliability and
construct validity. The resultsofthepilotstudyrevealedthat
the Cronbach’s Alpha coefficients for data collection
instrument was relatively high: Attitude Towards the
Technology (0.88), Quality of the Content in the E-Learning
and Multimedia Technology (0.90) , E-Learning and
Multimedia Technology Quality (0.91) Support by ICT
Technical Staff (0.70) and Stakeholder Involvement(0.71) .
Though, four items that scored lesser than0.70weredeleted
to make the overall reading of Cronbach’s Alpha coefficients
to settle at 0.82 which showed a high degree of reliability.
Besides, item analysis revealed that all the items from the
questionnaires reached the significant level at 0.05.
Moreover, the results of factor analysis also showed
adequate construct validity. Data was collected in line with
the stated research purpose and variables, after which data
was analyzed using descriptive statistical methods,
correlation and regression to establish causal relationship
among the variables. The results interpretation was done
using the mean and standard deviations from 5-point Likert
type responses ranging from Very Strongly Disagree (1),
Disagree (2), Neutral (3), Agree (4) and Strongly Agree (5).
4. DATA ANALYSIS AND PRESENTATION
Data collated for the study were collated, analyzed and
discussed in line with the stated research questions for the
study, as arranged bellow:

As shown in table 2, majority of the respondents were male
with a percentage 61.8% as opposed to female who were
38.2%. This presupposes that generally, there were more
male in Nakivale Refugee Settlement schools than female.
Regarding age, majority of the respondents were in the age
bracket of 10-17 years which had a percentage of 92.9%.
This was followed by respondents in the age bracket of 18-
25 years with 41.9%. Respondent by nationality, majority of
were Congolese with 36% and these were followed by
Ugandans who had 28%. Rwandans and Burundianshadthe
same percentage of 16.5% while Somalis, south Sudanese
and Ethiopian had respective representation of 0.3%, 1.7%
and 1.0%.

mean value for each study dimensionfollowed bycomparing
the overall mean with mean interpretation to determine the
barriers and motivators to implement E-learning and
Multimedia Technologytowardsimprovingschool education
standards in mathematics and health education in Nakivale
Refugee Settlement, Uganda.
The overall mean value is presented in Table 2 above. The
finding showed that the mean value for almost all the
dimensions were high and respondents agreed; Attitude
towards the Technology (4.13), Quality of the Content in the
E-Learning and Multimedia Technology (4.16), Support by
ICT Technical Staff (4.07), E-Learning and Multimedia
Technology Quality (3.83) and Stakeholder Involvement
(3.45). The overall mean value among the respondents was
also high (3.93).
Answering Research Questions
Parametric Assumptions
To determine whether or not the data are parametric, the
researcher tested assumptions of parametric. First and
foremost, the data were continuous and measurements met
the minimum sample size requirement(Saunders,Lewisand
Thornhill, 2016). Besides, there was no linear relationship
among the variables and data collected were not normally
distributed based on the results obtained from the linearity
and normality tests respectively. Therefore, to examine the
barriers and motivators to implement E-learning and
Multimedia Technologytowardsimprovingschool education
standards in mathematics and health education in Nakivale
Refugee Settlement, Uganda, the researchers used
Spearman’s Rank Test to measure the non-parametric data.
Correlation Value Interpretation
The correlation values in this study were interpreted
following the table of correlation value interpretation
developed by Bartlett, Kontrlik and Hinggins (2001) as
shown in Table 3.
Table 3: Correlation Value Interpretation
Correlation Value (r) Relationship Strength

Table 4 indicates that there was a significant, positive and
weak correlation between quality of the content in the
implemented E-learning and Multimedia Technology and
learners’ attitude (r = .278, p < .01). Theresultsrevealedthat
any increase in quality of the content in the implemented E-
learning and Multimedia Technology will affect learners’
attitude. Furthermore, teachers through interviews
confirmed that” The contentprovided byE-learningisactually
good, actually it has helped us in good methods of teaching
and learning though there are challenge of learners saying
that the get bored playing the same content on the CD and
DVDs all the time” (Respondent 1 from school A).
“ As per now we have not yet used the content a lot because
we went for training once and sometimes we don’t know how
to use it, sometimes we open the portal and see what’s there
butsometimes we don’t know where to go or what to do which
is affecting us the teachers and the learners” (Respondent 3
from school B)

attitude (r = .367, p < .01). The positive significant
relationship showed that by having good quality of
implemented E-learning and Multimedia Technology, it
means that learners’ attitude will be affected.
Furthermore teachers through interviews confirmed that
“The system is good because the leaners feel motivated and
they are happy with the system and becausetheylovelearning
using it.”(Respondent 1)
“The system is truly good, pupilsarealwayslookingforwardto
the classes, which we have twice in a week and they are
enjoying the classes” (Respondent 3)

Table 6 indicates that there was a significant, positive and
strong correlation between support by ICT technical staff of
the implemented E-learning andMultimedia Technologyand
learners’ attitude (r = .615, p < .01). The strong positive
significant relationship implied that support by ICT
Technical Staff of implemented E-learning and Multimedia
Technology affected learners’ attitude.
The teachers further confirmed that the ICT technical stuff
has truly supported the implemented E-learning and
Multimedia Technology as stated
“Yeaaa they have, because when we call them that the data is
not there, they send and also when there’s no fuel in the
generator, they come and give it to us and even sometimes
they come and retrain us to use the portal because sometimes
when the system fails to start, they help us to restart
it.”(Respondent 1 from school A).
“Yes they usually come and talk to us, give us CDs and DVD
players loaded with content to use and train us how use it,
surely my ICT pedagogical skills have improved as these IT
facilities help me let leaners study on their own” (Respondent
3 from school C)
“We have an internet problem of not being accessible
regularly, it’s on and off and sometimes we go days without it,
and this could affect learning and in using thecontentwhichis
a challenge” (Respondent 4 from school B).
4. Does stakeholder’s involvement affect learners’attitude
towards implemented E-learning and Multimedia
Technology in improving school education standards in
mathematics and health education in Nakivale Refugee

Table 6 indicates that there was a significant, positive and
moderately strong correlation between stakeholder’s

Technology and learners’ attitude (r = .406, p < .01). The
moderately strong positive significant relationship implied
that stakeholder’s involvement of implemented E-learning
and Multimedia Technologywasveryimportantandaffected
learners’ attitude.
The teachers further confirm that relevant stakeholders
were involved to ease and boast students’ attitude towards
E-learning and Multimedia technology
“Yeaaa they were consulted because they even held a meeting
at Nakivale secondary school, Kabahinda and the stake
holders were there.” (Respondent 1 from school A)
“Yeaaa, Windle trust Uganda, the manager was there, UNHCR
staff and all the head teachers of the school which had E-
Learning, because they havetobeavailablebeforeintroducing
anything in the said schools” (Respondent 4 from school D).
In summary, we can conclude that there was a positive
significant relationship between all the researchvariables of
implemented E-learning and Multimedia Technology and
learners’ attitude.
However, there was weak correlation betweenqualityofthe
content in the implemented E-learning and Multimedia
Technology and learners’ attitude meaning this could be
established as the barrier to the implementation of an E-
Learning and Multimedia Technology towards improving
school education standards in mathematics and health
education in Nakivale Refugee Settlement.
5. DISCUSSIONS AND FINDINGS
The analyzed data from the study revealed that majority of
the respondents were male with 61.8% while almost all of
the respondents were between 10-17 years (92.9%). The
study findings showed that there was weak correlation (r =
.278) between quality of the content in the implemented E-
learning and Multimedia Technology and learners’ attitude
meaning that this could be established as the barrier to the
implementation of an E-Learning and Multimedia
Technology towards improving school education standards
in mathematics and health education in Nakivale Refugee
Settlement. Besides to this finding, Majedand Qais,(2013)in
their study ‘the effect of information quality in e-learning
system’ concluded that informationqualityisthemainfactor
that increase or decrease the efficiency of e-learning system
and therefore e-learning systems developers should take
consideration on the dimensions of information quality
(accuracy, relevancy, accessibility, andvalidity).Resultsalso
showed that, there was moderately strong correlation
between implemented E-learning and Multimedia
Technology quality, stakeholder’sinvolvementandlearners’
attitude (r = .367, r = .406, p < .01). In support to this finding,
literature establish that quality-related factors (instructor
and system) are key predictor of perceived usefulness and
user satisfaction to learners’ attitude and e-learning system
implementation (Lawoga, 2014). Support by ICT technical
staff of the implemented E-learning and Multimedia
Technology had strong positive effectonlearners’attitude (r
= .615, p < .01) towards improving school education
standards in mathematics and health education in Nakivale
Refugee Settlement. Stephanie & Vladlena (2014) postulate
that the expertise to adopt e-learning systems in the
academic environment is enhanced by effective technology
training which must be hands-on, systematic and
continuous.

Technology towards improving school education standards
in mathematics and health education in Nakivale Refugee
Settlement. In addition to this, the content developedshould
be put in use by all the teachers as it was a concern by some
teachers that they were not using it as the training seemed
not to be enough. there is a need for management to provide
adequate support to lecturers that are planning to integrate
social media into the academic setting. Though stakeholders
like “Windle trust Uganda”, UNHCR staff and all the head
teachers were there duringimplementationofthe e-learning
system, school management requires a e-learning policy in
place to govern the use of emerging technologies in its
teaching and learning environment.
6.2. Recommendations
The findings of this study should help policy makers and
managers both at school and national levels to pay special
attention to factors that have significant, positive andstrong
association in implementation of an E-Learning and
Multimedia Technologytowardsimprovingschool education
standards for example having e-learning policyand effective
technology training. Learners from institutions of primary
and secondary who are to use E-Learning and Multimedia
Technology in teaching and learning, they needtomotivated
through support by ICT technical staff, E-learning and
Multimedia Technology quality, and stakeholder’s
involvement. For future study, the researchers
recommended to widen the scope of study in term of
subjects and participants. The current study limited to
institutions in Nakivale Refugee Settlement. A future study
might consider involving institutions of higher learning like
universities in Uganda to draw a broader generalization or
conclusion.
