 Boyinbode O.K., Ng’ambi D. And Bagula A.,

 2013

ace-to-face learning is most prominent in highereducation in developing countries of Africa, where learningis teacher-centred; this type of learning does not promotedeep learning. Vodcasts and podcasts are increasingly becomingpopular in higher education as a means of enhancinglearning especially for part-time students who are separatedby distance from their teacher; this mode of teachingis known to entertain some limitations. In this paper wereport on MOBLEC, an interactive Mobile lecturing modelthat removes the limitations of podcasting or vodcasting model and promote deep learning. This model enables studentsto comment on lecture vodcasts using mobile devices, and aggregated comments become an educational resource.The model was evaluated at the Bindura University of Science Education (BUSE), Zimbabwe. The paper describes aninteractive mobile lecturing tool for empowering learners that are separated from their teachers and the evaluation results from BUSE, Zimbabwe.

 Olutayo Boyinbode, Dick Ng’ambi

 2013

Students at Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in developing countries face challenges not limited to large classes and inability to quickly understand lectures as these are delivered in English language which is adopted in most higher education as a medium of instruction. This challenge iscompounded for students who speak English as their second or third language.Although podcasts and vodcasts are increasingly becoming popular in HEIs as a means of augmenting face-to-face (f2f) lectures, their limitations are well documented. In this paper we report on a MOBILect, an interactive mobile lecturing tool that aimed to mitigate the limitations of podcasting or vodcasting and fosters deep learning. The tool was evaluated at the Federal University ofTechnology, Akure, Nigeria. This paper describes MOBILect, its architecture,design and implementation and also its ability for enhancing learning in higher education.

 Olutayo Boyinbode, Antoine Bagula, Dick Ngambi

 2011

Producing e-learning contents through recording of lectures can be relatively easy and flexible to produce than through the conventional Learning Management System (LMS) due to improved technology. Recording lectures can serve as supplementary, substitutional or creative materials to a conventional traditional lecture. With the popularity and evolution of powerful mobile devices like PDAs, mobile phones, iPods and iPads, which are light and portable it is easy to integrate these devices into the mobile learning system. This paper describes the evolution of pod casts to opencast and a mobile learning opencast framework that helps postgraduate students in higher education adapt educational resources from Opencast Matter horn to their mobile devices which can be used anytime and anywhere

 Akintola K.G. And Boyinbode O.K.

 2011

RFID (radio frequency identification) is one of the system solutions for trackingand tracing objects both globally and locally using RFID tags. It is an auto-IDprocedure for identifying objects automatically within a geographical area. It allowsinformation about an object to be collected automatically without having to handlethe object or enter its data manually. RFID uses tags which communicateinformation by radio wave through antennae on small computer chips attached toobjects so that such objects may be identified, located, and tracked. This technologyhas found a significant areas of application in business supply chains, in medical line,in security applications, and in fact many areas of human endeavor.As Auto-ID and RFID technologies are developing at an alarming rate around theworld with new information appearing daily, particularly on the Internet, this paperaims to describe the technology of RFID, the areas of applications of this technologyparticularly in industries, security and health care management and the potentialbenefits of adopting the technology. The overall aim of the paper is to sensitize Nigeria to start tapping this technology for national development and security

 A Survey On Clustering Algorithms For Wireless Sensor Networks

 Boyinbode O.K., Le H. And Takizawa M

 2011

A wireless sensor network (WSN) consisting of a large number of tiny sensors can bean effective tool for gathering data in diverse kinds of environments. The data collected by each sensor is communicated to the base station, which forwards the data to the end user. Clustering is introduced to WSNs because it has proven to be an effective approach to provide better data aggregation and scalability for large WSNs. Clustering also conserves the limited energy resources of the sensors. This paper synthesises existing clustering algorithms in WSNs and highlights the challenges in clustering.

 An Interactive Mobile Lecturing Tool For Aggregating Learning Resources

 Boyinbode O.K., Ng’ambi D. And Bagula A

 2011

Vodcasts are increasingly becoming popular in higher education as a means of enhancing learning especially for part time students who are separatedby distance from their tutor. In this paper we propose a tool, MOBILect, that enables students to comment on lecture vodcasts using mobile devices,and aggregated comments become an educational resource. The vodcasts are generated through YouTube. The tool was evaluated at the Bindura University of Science Education Zimbabwe. The paper reports on the architecture of the MOBILect,its framework for student-vodcast interaction, and evaluation results. The paper concludes that the MOBILect has potential for use as a supplement to the traditional face-to-face lectures especially in scenarios where students are separated by distance.

 2010

Mobile communication and mobile computing technologies are one of the most significant breakthroughs in technological developments over the years. There is a great demand for mobility while performing our daily transactions. Everybody wants on the spot access to information resources and services of a company or organization anywhere and at anytime. It is against this bachground that the project reported in this paper was carried out to develop a mobile banking system using mobile computing technology to boost ebanking operations in Nigeria. The project aims to reduce the cost of accessing information in terms of time wastage and transport cost and to also facilitates the process of account checking and money transfer operations. In this scenario, users with help of 3G mobile devices can check their account balances and transfer money from one account to the other at any time. .NET framework which consist of VB.NET, ASP.NET, ADO.NET was used to implement this prototype. The testing was done using phone emulator and was found to be very efficient.

 Poverty Reduction In Nigeria Using Information Technology

 Akinyede R.O, Boyinbode O.K. And Alese B.K.

 2010

According to a UNDP Report (1998), about 54% of Africa’s population is estimated to live in absolute poverty. Currently in Nigeria, rapid change and vigorous development in information technology (IT) is occurring, changing Nigerians’ way of life, as well as the country’s economic strength, national power, and international competitiveness. The status of a country or nation in the global political and economic framework depends on the general rule of the development and progress of IT. With development and innovation going hand in hand and knowledge becoming one of the most important factors in determining standard of living, most advanced economies and companies today are those that play the knowledge card as a tool to drive development. Therefore, in this paper, the authors examine the categories, causes, and effects of poverty and how poverty reduction can be achieved in Nigeria with information technology (IT).

 O.K. Boyinbode*, R.O. Akinyede, And O.S. Adeola

 2009

Grid computing delivers on the potential in the growth and abundance of network connected systems and bandwidth: computation, collaboration and communication over the advanced web. The term ‘grid’ is variously used to describe a number of different, but related, ideas, including utility computing concepts, grid technologies, and grid standards. In this paper the term ‘Grid’ is used in the widest sense to describe the ability to pool and share information technology (IT) resources in a global environment in a manner which achieves seamless, secure, transparent, simple access to a vast collection of many different types of hardware and software resources, (including compute nodes, software codes, data repositories, storage devices, graphics and terminal devices and instrumentation and equipment), through non-dedicated wide area networks, to deliver customized resources to specific applications. A library information grid technology is also proposed for the libraries of some prominent Nigeria Universities.
