The purpose of this study was to investigate factors that influence adoption of Learning Analytics in Virtual Learning Environment to Support Technology-enabled Learning and develop a Learning Analytics adoption framework for universities in Kenya. Growth in the internet coverage and advancements in distance learning by innovative use of technology has enabled educational institutions to incorporated these technologies to enhance teaching and learning in Virtual Learning Environments (VLE). Peer institutions, administrative teams, current and potential students have strongly recommended Technology-Enabled Learning (TEL), and many institutions are moving toward the adoption of virtual learning technologies or the adoption of innovative virtual environments within their classroom settings.

The essence of a learning institution is to deliver its core services to clients in the best way possible which is done conventionally in most countries. Some of the conventional approaches used in teaching and learning failed amid COVID-19, making most of the learning institutions to suspend physical learning and resort to online platforms which required intensive use of ICT. The use of ICT to deliver services to clients is accompanied with various technical challenges that require frequent attention some of which are beyond the student’s technical know-how. The challenge therefore was difficulty in assuring the consistent availability and efficiency of ICT technical support to address these technical challenges experienced by students owing the ICT staff-to-students requests ratio as well as in the absentia of ICT staff.

The growth of Information and communication technologies brought a significant change in learning. The spread of covid pandemic also forced universities to implement eLearning to support the students. eLearning is supported by different technologies and the universities are using amalgamation of eLearning technologies in supporting the teaching and learning processes. These technologies disorient the users when they want to integrate them during teaching and learning process. The purpose of this study was to integrate Learning Management System and Smartphone platforms to support the learners in self-directed learning.

Lately, the education sector had become a prime target for cyber-attacks. This was mainly because it had a lot of valuable data; it was potentially an easy target; it provided access to a larger network; and had a lot of users. Most of the secondary schools had been equipped with computers and computing devices. Majority of these schools had internet connectivity, making them vulnerable to cyber-attack. The vulnerability was as a result of them lacking resources and attention to cybersecurity. They had weak application security, weak endpoint security, and weak patch cadence. More had to be done to address the above-named issues and to promote cybersecurity in secondary schools. One way of addressing this was the development of cybersecurity framework.

In this era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0), information technology, especially blockchain technology, plays an important role in driving the diverse economy. In higher education institutions such as universities, academic records are important assets and must be managed appropriately. The purpose of this research study was to investigate blockchain technology integration for Academic records management systems to enhance data security and prevent fraud in universities in Kenya.

There are increasing challenges of terrestrial biodiversity variability change, creating problems like loss of livestock in Turkana County in Kenya. In the current digital age, IoTs are core to facilitate access to real time data and enhance efficiency across various services. The study investigated the various ways in which IoTs are deployed in communicating appropriate localized terrestrial biodiversity data to help rural pastoralists make appropriate decisions to improve their livestock productivity and their livelihoods. The study developed an architectural model for processing and sharing terrestrial biodiversity data, based on Internet of Things technology. The study redesigned model to mainstream IoT based terrestrial biodiversity data for increased long-term livelihood sustainability.

The widespread use of mobile technology has enabled the introduction of various mobile money services. Effective use of mobile money technologies contributes to economic improvement and the overall well-being of people and a country. Many factors contribute to the success of mobile money transfer systems and usability is a measure of the level of success. Usability heuristics principles developed by Nielsen, a pioneer in usability engineering, have existed and are popularly used to assess the usability of computer systems. However, in the wake of emerging new technologies such as mobile applications and further to mobile money transfer systems there is a need for domain specific heuristics.

Voting systems worldwide are transitioning from manual voting practices to electronic systems for better service delivery. However, the technology’s credibility has challenged many countries worldwide, even with electronic systems. Models leading to acceptance of the technology remain largely unrealized in economically transitioning countries due to low acceptance of appropriate and acceptable electoral technology models. Bodies that deal with election matters tend to focus on the technical supply of election resources and give less emphasis on acceptance of the BVR technology. The purpose of the study was to analyze BVR technology usage and develop a model for user acceptance of BVR technology. The study sought to: determine usage factor requirements for acceptable BVR technology, assess the extent to which perceived usefulness and perceived ease of system use influence acceptance of the BVR technology, and develop a model for analyzing usage factors in designing user acceptance of BVR technology.

The role financial service providers’ play in enhancing productivity by small-scale farmers cannot be over-emphasized. Limited access to financial services is one of the major challenges for small-scale farmers. Unfortunately, financial institutions tend to shy away from this group of clients. One of the major reasons, is the perceived high-risk profile of small-scale farmers Additionally, it is very difficult and sometimes expensive to perform risk scoring for the small-scale farmers. To ensure the small-scale farmers get access to financial services at affordable rate, the lenders and insurers ought to have confidence that the tools and techniques they are using, do not end up exposing them to large non-performing loans (for lenders) and high loss ratios (for insurers).
