Factors Affecting the Adoption of E-Learning Systems in Public Higher Learning Institutions in Tanzania: A Case of Institute of Accountancy Arusha (IAA)

In most developing countries, governments attempt to enforce the movement from analogue to digital for all their sectors, from public to private. These technological advancements have been noted to bring necessary and unavoidable changes to businesses and learning environments. Higher learning institutions have adopted various e-learning systems to support learning, research, and publication activities to stay competitive in global academic systems. However, most public higher learning institutions in Tanzania lag behind in the adoption of these systems. Thus, research shows a failure of these institutions in utilising the full benefit that today’s Information and Communication Technology (ICT) can offer in learning environments. Thus, this study examines factors affecting the adoption of such a system in developing countries like Tanzania, taking the Institute of Accountancy Arusha (IAA) as a case study. The study used a mixed methodology where thematic and descriptive analysis was used to analyse both qualitative and quantitative research data. The study population was 187 teaching staff, a sample size of 126 was obtained, and 157 study participants were involved in the study. The study found that factors affecting the adoption of e-learning systems in public higher learning institutions in Tanzania include lack of ICT infrastructure, lack of technical and managerial support and lack of computers and e-learning knowledge among facilitators. Thus, the study recommended investments in adequate and reliable ICT facilities, high intermate speed and bandwidth, and policies that support e-learning and training programs about e-learning knowledge and use. Also, this study recommends the use of the Multi-Factors Adoption Model (MFAM11) for the successful adoption of an e-learning system in public higher learning institutions in Tanzania.

An Exploration of a New Running Mode of Equipment Management for Institutions of Higher Learning

With the great changes in China's economic mechanism, the present running modes of equipment management at most institutions of higher learning are becoming less and less effective and efficient. Being fully aware of the common problems and their characteristics, this paper proposes a new running mode which aims at these problems' permanent resolution. It involves (1) Systems such as renting, competition and paid services are to be introduced to the campus, in order to effectively associate duty with interest. (2) The present managerial pattern is to be replaced by a new running network, in which all the links cooperate with as well as restrain each other. Such a mode focuses on the “two mechanisms and four patterns,”that is, to rely on the stimulative mechanism and restraint mechanism, and to enforce such patterns as centralized management and application centralized management and common application, opening to public use, and renting and borrowing. Through persistent exploration of the inner potential of the institutions, the ratio of investment and economic efficiency will accordingly be elevated.

Concept and Feasibility of Offering Human Rights Courses in China's Institutions of Higher Learning

Doubtlessly, the term ＂human rights＂ has become a world language in the 21st century.

Optimized Artificial Neural Network Techniques to Improve Cybersecurity of Higher Education Institution

Education acts as an important part of economic growth and improvement in human welfare.The educational sectors have transformed a lot in recent days,and Information and Communication Technology(ICT)is an effective part of the education field.Almost every action in university and college,right from the process fromcounselling to admissions and fee deposits has been automated.Attendance records,quiz,evaluation,mark,and grade submissions involved the utilization of the ICT.Therefore,security is essential to accomplish cybersecurity in higher security institutions(HEIs).In this view,this study develops an Automated Outlier Detection for CyberSecurity in Higher Education Institutions(AOD-CSHEI)technique.The AOD-CSHEI technique intends to determine the presence of intrusions or attacks in the HEIs.The AOD-CSHEI technique initially performs data pre-processing in two stages namely data conversion and class labelling.In addition,the Adaptive Synthetic(ADASYN)technique is exploited for the removal of outliers in the data.Besides,the sparrow search algorithm(SSA)with deep neural network(DNN)model is used for the classification of data into the existence or absence of intrusions in the HEIs network.Finally,the SSA is utilized to effectually adjust the hyper parameters of the DNN approach.In order to showcase the enhanced performance of the AOD-CSHEI technique,a set of simulations take place on three benchmark datasets and the results reported the enhanced efficiency of the AOD-CSHEI technique over its compared methods with higher accuracy of 0.9997.

The Situation Analysis on Cognitive Level and Participation of Tai Chi in the Institutes of Higher Learning

with the vigorous development of education, the requirement to the higher education, especially to the improving college students’ physical quality, should be higher and strict in the new stage. In the improvement of Sunshine Sports background, the institutes of higher learning began to spread Tai Chi widely, inheriting Chinese traditional culture and in the meanwhile, to improve students’ physical quality and healthy. However, according to their cognitive level and participation of Tai Chi, the limits still wide, which need a further improvement. Thus, this article will do analysis on the cognitive level and participation of Tai Chi in the institutes of higher learning, the main target people is these students. According to the reality, through various analysis method and calibration, we investigate the cognitive level and participation of Tai Chi in the higher education learners and confirm the defects and deficiency within. From this, we can see that cognitive level is not that high, and their participation is not enough, and the positivity to it is not so active. In a word, the wide and deep spread of Tai Chi will help their physical and metal both healthy,firming a base for the future.

Closing the Cybersecurity Skill Gap in Kenya: Curriculum Interventions in Higher Education

In the wake of increased cybercrime against insufficient cybersecurity professionals, there is an urgent need to bridge the skill-gap. The demand for skilled and experienced (approximately 40,000 to 50,000) cybersecurity professionals in Kenya is soaring all-time high. This demand is against the available 1700 certified professionals. Therefore, this paper seeks to bring to fore interventions put in place to address the skill gap through curriculum interventions. In order to get a clear understanding, the paper sought to determine the status of cybersecurity skill gap in Kenya and what universities are doing to address the gap. The paper also sought to propose the way forward to close the skill gap. This is a seminal review paper in the field of cybersecurity in Kenya focusing on institutions of higher learning and the interventions to address the cybersecurity skill gap. This research is significant to the general institutions of higher learning in both private and public universities. Results show that the cybersecurity skill gap is very high in Kenya. Interventions being offered by universities include partnerships with private cybersecurity organizations, offering cybersecurity certification training hackathons, and degree programs. However, it was established that only 13.2% of registered universities that offer cybersecurity degree programs in Kenya. The paper therefore strongly recommends launch of cybersecurity programs at the levels of undergraduate and graduate in many universities. This can therefore be augmented with other interventions such as certifications, hackathons and partnerships. Further research can be conducted to establish factors affecting the launch of cybersecurity programs in institutions of higher learning in Kenya. A further research can also be conducted to determine the effect of supplementary cybersecurity trainings such as hackathons and certifications.
