The current nature of large class size in Higher Educational Institutions (HEI), the recent COVID-19 pandemics, and more importantly, because lecturer-student’s relationships mostly terminate right after the class session have made educators faced many new challenges. Based on these, educators have found it imperative to change the pedagogical and...
Ghana lacks proper establishment of primary sources of information on Ghanaian music, musicians, artists, and performance group. In addition, there is lack of a channel for acquiring such data. In an attempt to solve these problems, an online system entitled, Ghana Music Documentation System (GMDS) was developed and evaluated. The research aim at d...
Researchers have reported mixed-findings regarding the impact of individual instruction, the class as a whole, and the use of small-group on learning outcomes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of e-collaborative teaching and learning on students learning outcomes with the mediating and moderating effects of three presences. A...

Even though the effectiveness of e-collaboration has been empirically confirmed, some researchers and educators still find it a challenge in leading to meaningful learning outcomes. The main goal of this study is to explore the relationship between e-collaborative learning experience and students learning outcomes with moderating and mediating effe...
Electronic collaboration can provide the environments for educators and learners to connect electronically via the Internet to study together, communicate discuss, and to exchange information and resources from anywhere, anytime and in any place. However, despite the progress registered in the use of e-collaboration system as educational tools thro...
Electronic Collaboration environments can be used to facilitate collaborative teaching, learning and research environment. However, the current e-learning in higher educational institutions is not facilitating these activities. Hence the proposed e-collaborative system entitled Teach, learn and Research Collaboration System (TELERECS). A total of 3...
E-learning since 1990s is still evolving. Currently, there is a shift towards e-collaborative teaching and learning approaches. Despite this shift, there is still a gap between constructivist online teaching and learning and actual practices in higher educational institutions. The objective of this paper is to propose a constructivist didactic fram...
The three elements of the Community of Inquiry (CoI) Model which is known as teaching, social and cognitive presences can lead to successful educational experiences in a computer mediated online environment. However, current research has shown mixed-findings and little empirical evidences in supporting these elements leads to deep and meaningful le...
Current e-learning environment do not adequately support collaboration among students and between students and lecturers. This paper presents the design principles, prototype design and heuristic evaluation of teach, learn and research (TELEREC) e-collaboration environment for higher educational institutions. The objectives are to investigate exist...
E-collaboration environment through social media technologies is a promising pedagogical approach for teaching, learning and research. It will support student-to-student, student-to-lecturer, and student-to-content interaction and collaboration in a higher educational institution. Despite these benefits, many educators are still reluctant to start...
Even though many Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) have started exploring the use of Social Media Technologies (SMTs) such as instructional blogging, wikis for collaborative content creation and podcasting for video and recording of instructional elements for teaching and learning, there has been little adoption and use of SMTs in the context...
Questions

The ubiquitous nature of e-learning for effective teaching and learning at anytime and anywhere has made it necessary for many institutions including educational institutions to adopt its use before and during the COVID-19 pandemics. My question above would like to investigate students and lecturers attitudes towards e-learning before and during the COVID-19 pandemics.
I have conducted a pretest and posttest study on the impact of e-learning teaching and social presence on learning outcome. Can I described the research as empirical study?

The aims of this research are twofold. The first aim is to review and analyze existing frameworks, models, and theories for an online collaborative teaching and learning environment (OCTLE). The second aim is to develop a conceptual framework for effective collaboration and didactic enhancement. In order to achieve the above objectives, the researchers pose the following questions: What are the pedagogical and didactical rationales for online collaborative learning? What do existing frameworks and models depict in terms of the teaching and learning Objects, and didactics? How can the proposed framework be derived?
important educational collaborative learning content are mostly hidden in participant discussion post in wiki or chat (online or mobile). The goal of this study is to conduct transcript analysis analysis of collaborative discussion posts to realize cognitive presence across the individual and or group discussion postings
