ABSTRACT In this study, a model to facilitate the establishment of sustainable ICT Hubs into the community was developed. In developing the model, a study was performed on the community and on the existing similar facilities of telecentres and living labs to identify community ICT needs and factors and challenges facing the existing facilities. The study comprised of 133 respondents of which 63 respondents were community members from four (4) wards of Dodoma municipality and 60 were benefici...
ABSTRACT In recent years, ad-hoc wireless networks have experienced an increase in popularity and usage due to their flexibility and the ability to provide connectivity from anywhere, at any time. Ad-hoc wireless network provides mobile communications to nodes in situations where the participating nodes are not in need of existing network infrastructure. The detection of malicious nodes is hard to achieve due to its dynamic nature of nodes mobility, lack of infrastructure and the nature o...
ABSTRACT In computing studies, students learn a number of computing aspects, one of them being computer programming. Computer programming can be taught in different approaches and in different languages. Each approach or language has its own strengths and weaknesses. The discussion on this research was based on determining the language that has more features for providing a gentle learning curve to a first time learner. This research was conducted through an experimental approach whereby par...
ABSTRACT The use of ICT in education has been proved to be a key milestone in improving the learning process in different levels of education. To tap this opportunity, the government of Tanzania has implemented a number of projects aimed at introducing and using ICT in different levels of education. There have been similar initiatives in the private institutions as well. However, such initiatives have been facing different challenges particularly on the readiness of using ICT for education f...
Abstract The volume of information resources potentially available in the globe is massive; hence it becomes necessary to examine available information resources for academics research activity in the academia. This study, therefore, examined the perception of academics on availability of information resources for research productivity in federal universities in Nigeria. Descriptive survey research design was adopted. The Multistage sampling technique was used to select 1,057 academic staff ...

ABSTRACT This study is concerned with the design and development of an annotation model that gives users the power of expressivity as required in Economic Intelligence (EI) context. Most of the existing annotation platforms lack this power of expressivity. The study also discovered a need to develop an annotation model for creating and structuring annotations that will adequately capture the intention of the users (EI actors) in decision making process. In addition, there was a need for a te...
ABSTRACT The development of Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) infrastructure and distribution of Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) to all components of societies are of significant importance to leverage a faster socio-economic development in Africa. The continuous technological changes have influenced service delivery in various sectors. The emergence of new technologies within the education sector has prompted for a review of the way research is conducted among NRENs. Dev...
INTRODUCTION The advancements in information system technologies into today’s society have given rise to several concerns regarding data security and privacy. However, these concerns relate to protective measures taken with respect to digital privacy and the protection of unauthorised access to databases of information. Regarding information system technologies, computer games have been designed in such manner to collect, process and store personal data of the gamers. This raises several co...
ABSTRACT Judging the credibility of information that is found online is very crucial, because on the internet there are platforms which contain misinformation, though they may look trustworthy. Editorial policies regarding the majority of information posted online are non-existent, unknown or ambiguous.Thus, developing the skills to evaluate web-based information is crucial for internet users. There is a need to understand how information seekers in Tanzania do prepared for this responsibilit...
ABSTRACT In this study, a Genetic Algorithm approach coupled with an internal Heuristic Search strategy is applied to attempt automation of course-teaching timetable generation for the University of Dodoma while trying to make the solution as general as possible. In designing the algorithm, course timetabling constraints of the institution are identified and a general encoding scheme is used to represent the problem. Then, a Genetic Algorithm is designed and implemented with a two-point cros...
