(IEEE, 2013)Mobile phones have taken centre stage in transforming people’s lives in all sectors of African economies. With regard to Education sector, studies show that, there is high prevalence of mobile phones among learners in ... -
Ambient Learning - Knowledge as a Service Model: Towards the Achievement of Sustainable Development Goal Four
(IEEE, 2018)Studies show that United Nations Sustainable Development Goal Four is yet to be achieved. This paper presents an artefact named “Ambient learning- Knowledge as a Service model” for describing how actionable knowledge can ... -
Ambient Learning Conceptual Framework for Bridging Digital Divide in Higher Education
(Research Gate, 2014)According to ITU (2012), digital divide is the difference between countries in terms of levels of ICT development. This difference remains significant. In 2011, the ICT Development Index (IDI) value of developed countries ... -
Analysis of community properties and node properties to understand the structure of the bus transport network
(Research Gate, 2016)Akin to most infrastructures, intraurban bus networks are large and highly complex. Understanding the composition of such networks requires an intricate decomposition of the network into modules, taking into account the ... -
Applying Data Mining in Graduates’ Employability
(International Journal of Engineering Pedagogy (iJEP), 2023)Envisaging an adequate IT/IS solution that can mitigate the employability problems is imperative because nowadays there is a high rate of unemployed graduates. Thus, the main goal of this systematic literature review (SLR) ... -
Communities as neighborhood guardians: A spatio-temporal analysis of community policing in Nairobi's suburbs
(Research Gate, 2015)The efficacy of citizens to participate in neighborhood-watch activities and report signs of trouble is important for safeguarding communities against crime. Community policing is a key policing strategy for utilizing the ... -
Construction Of Some Balanced Asymmetrical Factorial Designs
(ICASTOR Journal of Mathematical Sciences, 2015)Two distinct methods of obtaining high efficiency balanced asymmetrical factorial designs that are resolvable have been discussed. One of these methods uses pseudofactors and factors of asymmetry while the other method ... -
Contextual Factors And Public Value Of E-government Services In Kenya
(Global Scientific Journal, 2017-09-09)E-government research has been skewed towards technological deterministic perspective mainly centering on technological issues. This provides no explicit guidance to the design and practice of e-government programs that ... -
A contextualized and personalized model to predict user interest using location-based social networks
(Research Gate, 2016)The accurate determination of user interest in terms of geographic information is essential to numerous mobile applications, such as recommender systems and mobile advertising. User interest is greatly influenced by the ... -
Crime Risk Estimation with a Commuter- Harmonized Ambient Population
(Annals of the American Association of Geographers, 2016)Residential population data are frequently employed to link the crime incidence of an area with the number of residents to estimate the underlying risk. Human mobility patterns cause shifts in the baseline population, ... -
Culture Aware M-Learning Classification Framework for African Countries
(Research Gate, 2014)African countries are currently experiencing proliferation of mobile phone subscriptions but no prevalence of personal computers or electricity (Parker, 2011). It is estimated that, by the end of 2015 in Sub-Saharan Africa, ... -
Defining visualization operations for temporal cartographic animation design
(Elsevier- Science Direct, 2002)Cartographic animation has emerged as a potentially effective visualization technique that has an intuitive power in representing dynamic geographical phenomena through its ability to show interrelations amongst geospatial ... -
Detection Of “Abandoned” Vehicles In Public Vehicle Parking Environment
(Researchjournali’s Journal of Information Technology, 2017-06-09)It is common to come across “Abandoned” Vehicles [AV] in many of the public Vehicle Parking Environment [VPE] facilities. Very few if any of these vehicles are really abandoned; in most scenarios Motorists drive into a ... -
Developing an e-Learning Theory for Interaction and Collaboration Using Grounded Theory: A Methodological ApproachUsing Grounded Theory: A Methodological Approach
(Qualitative Report, 2021)Grounded Theory (GT) is becoming an increasingly prevalent research methodology in many fields. Although researchers use it in qualitative and quantitative studies, it is more popular with qualitative studies, as evidenced ... -
Directing Attention Through Gaze Hints Improves Task Solving in Human-Humanoid Interaction
(International journal of social robotics, 2018-04-06)In this paper, we report an experimental study designed to examine how participants perceive and interpret social hints from gaze exhibited by either a robot or a human tutor when carrying out a matching task. The underlying ... -
Dyadic Gaze Patterns during Child-Robot Collaborative Gameplay in a Tutoring Interaction
(IEEE, 2018)This study examines patterns of coordinated gaze between a child and a robot (NAO) during a card matching game, ‘Memory’. Dyadic gaze behavior like mutual gaze, gaze following and joint attention are indications both of ... -
Dynamic Heuristics: Greedy Search: A Mobile Information Retrieval Algorithm for Ambient Learning Systems
(Research Gate, 2016)Research supervision services like providing study materials can be enhanced through mobile information retrieval algorithms. An example is semantic searching algorithms, which require the user to input one or two real ... -
