POSSIBLE IMPACTS OF ICT BASED DEMAND-RESPONSIVE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SCHEMES IN THE FREE STATE

Bashingi, N; HASSAN, M MOSTAFA (Proceedings of the 35th Southern African Transport Conference (SATC 2016), 2016)

Reliability and accessibility of public transportation are major concerns. ICT based demand responsive schemes can be the ultimate solution to these problems. Even though Demand Responsive Transportation solutions have ...
Barriers identified that limited participation of Central University of Technology Academic Staff in National Research Foundation funding programmes

Louw, Zenobia D.; Hassan, Mohamed Mostafa (Central University of Technology, Free State (CUT): National Research Foundation (NRF), 2016)

These results suggest that those academics who have participated in NRF funding programmesmanage their time better. •Results suggest a link between the non participation rate of NRF funding, academic responsibilities and ...
Continuance use intention of primary school learners towards mobile mathematical applications

Venter, Marisa; de Wet, Lizette (IEEE Xplore Digital Library: Frontiers in Education Conference (FIE), 2016 IEEE, 2016)

Mobile educational applications include some of the most useful learning tools that have ever been developed. Games for learning are most effective when multiple sessions are involved, in other words, when users replay the ...
PERCEPTIONS OF PARENTS AND TEACHERS OF THE USE OF MOBILE APPS FOR MATHSEMATICAL EDUCATION

Venter, Marisa; de Wet, Lizette; Swart, James (UNISA: ISTE Conference Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2016)

Mobile is full of exciting technologies, and approaches that can help us transform how we teach, work (Stead, 2014). This statement aptly points to the current global trends where many teachers and parents are turning ...
PERCEIVED ENJOYMENT OF MOBILE MATHEMATICAL LEARNING GAMES

Venter, Marisa (UNISA: ISTE Conference Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2016)

Perceived enjoyment is often reckoned as one of the most important factors influencing consumer behavior in educational learning material. Without the educational application providing a positive experience, children are ...
Extending the Technology Acceptance Model for E-learning Discussion Forum Adoption

Louw, Jenny; Swart, Arthur J; Bere, Aaron (African Engineering Education Association Conference, CUT, FS, 2016)

The advancement on Information and Communication Technology and the Internet for educational purposes has been a staple discourse among researchers in recent years. However, preliminary investigations indicate that ...
A review of the Information System Models for Technology Acceptance

Mafunda, Boniswa; Swart, Arthur J.; Bere, Aaron (African Engineering Education Association Conference, CUT, FS, 2016)

The words “acceptance” and “behaviour” have been used interchangeably. The acceptance of any form of technology is determined by the behaviour of the individual towards that technology. Extensive research has been ...
Student Voices regarding Practical Instruction in a Solar Energy Course indicates Student Satisfaction

Hertzog, Pierre E; Swart, Arthur J (African Engineering Education Association Conference, CUT, FS., 2016)

Within higher education, student voices or perceptions are useful in measuring effective instruction and are important to evaluate the nature and quality of educational interventions. Student voices are often considered ...
A Competency-Based Approach to Recruiting and Developing Academic Leaders – A Review

Ngowi, AB; HJ De Jager (African Engineering Education Association Conference, CUT, FS, 2016)

The definition of leadership in academia is very similar to the one in business settings: inspiring others, being a role model, being self-aware and self-reflective as well as being decisive, visionary, planning ahead and ...
