 Framework For Implementation Of A Web Based Electronic Voting System

 Akintola K.G. And Boyinbode O.K

 2009

A voting system is a means of choosing between a number of options based on the input of a number of votes. Voting is perhaps best known for its use in elections where political candidates are selected for public office. Voting can also be used to award prizes, to select between different plans of action, or by a computer program to determine a solution to a complex problem. Voting can be contrasted with consensus decision-making. In recent times, election all over the world is usually marred with several irregular among which include ballot box snatching, multiple voting, late collations of results, fictitious figures and many other electoral malpractices. The resultant effect of these dubious practices is political, social and economic instabilities as witnessed in the 2007 elections in Nigeria. In order to address these issues, we propose an electronic voting system as a replacement of paper ballot system. With the introduction of internet, voting can now be done online. In this paper, a web based online voting system that is interactive and user-friendly is presented. This eVoting system if implemented will provide an enabling environment for conducting a free and fair election and will remove all the problems usually associated with the paper-ballot system.

 Transforming Nigeria Health Care System Through Wireless Sensor Networks.

 Boyinbode O. K. And Akintola K.G.

 2009

An application domain that makes use of wireless sensor network technology can be found in the area of medical monitoring. This field ranges from monitoring patients in the hospital using wireless sensors in order to remove the constraints of tethering patients to big bulky, wired monitoring devices to monitoring people in their everyday lives to provide early detection and intervention for various types of disease. This paper discusses scenarios where these sensors which vary from miniature, body-worn sensors to external sensors such as video camera or positioning devices are applicable and presents a report of ongoing research on telemedicine at FUTA Akure.

 Empirical Analysis Of The Impact Of Automated Teller Machine (ATM) On Nigeria Banking System

 Boyinbode O. K. And Akintola K.G.

 2009

The advent of automated teller machine (ATM) is rapidly changing the banking operations in Nigeria. The ATM technology has in no doubt taken banking in Nigeria to the next level far from what it used to be. The benefits range from getting money anywhere ATM is and at any time of the day. However any technology breakthrough is usually faced with some challenges of which ATM is not in isolation. This paper presents a study of the impact of ATM on banking transactions in Nigeria. It aims to determine the extent to which the automated teller machine (ATM) has improved the effectiveness, efficiency and service delivery of banks in Nigeria. A detailed questionnaire with sufficient and accurate information aimed at identifying variables and their relationship to one another were designed. The questionnaire was designed to sample the opinion of ATM users and ATM custodians on the impact of Automated teller machine (ATM) on Nigeria banking system. The researchers administered the questionnaire by visiting the various branches of banks and ATM terminals within Akure metropolis. the collected data were analysed using statistical package for social scientists (SPSS). The adopted statistical techniques employed include table of frequency and bar chat. The result of the analysis clearly indicates that ATM has improved immensely banking transactions in Nigeria. Although customers and banks were facing some challenges, which is hoped, will be resolved in the nearest future.

 Toward A Model Of M-Learning For Enhancing Dissemination Of Information Among Nigerian Farmers

 Boyinbode O.K. And Akintola K.G.

 2008

Mobile learning (M-Learning )is the point where mobile computing and e-learning intersect to produce an anytime, anywhere learning experience. Advances in mobile technologies have enhanced M-learning tools at just the right moment to meet the need for more cost-effective just in time information. Electronic Learning offer methods, which decrease the limitations of traditional education but M-learning offers more. This paper discusses the existing devices and technologies appropriate to realize Mobile learning, and its benefits in improving the spread of information among Nigerian farmers through SMS technology.

 A Sensor -Based Framework For Ubiquitous Learning In Nigeria

 Boyinbode O. K. And Akintola K.G.

 2008

Sensor based network is an enabling technology for Ubiquitous Learning, which in fact is one of the major features that distinguish U-learning from E-learning. The ability of a U-learning System to provide the right information at the right time or a personalized service depends on its ability to sense its environment through sensors deployed in the environment. This paper discusses the design of a Sensor-based framework for Ubiquitous Learning in Nigeria.

 Framework For Mobile Learning Technologies

 Akintola K.G., Ojokoh B.A. And Boyinbode O.K.

 2006

Wireless networking involves connecting computers without the use of physical media like cables, but instead using wireless media such as radio or microwave technologies. This technologyfacilitates the issues of mobility, which allows computers and other electronic devices to be moved about without losing connection to the network. Mobile learning (m-learning) allows on-the-go professionals to connect to training courses anytime and anywhere. M-Learning can include anything from job aids and courseware downloaded on personal digital assistant to net-based, instructor-facilitated training via laptop. M-Learning allows users to access IT courseware modules via the Palm operating system. This paper reviews advances in mobile technologies, the pedagogical implications of these technologies and describes the framework of a typical m-learning environment and its implementation using the case study of a university learning environment (part of an ongoing research in the department of Computer Science, Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria).
