DEVELOPING A MODEL FOR EVALUATING SMART LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS: A CONCEPTUAL APPROACH
Adebayo Olatunji Oluwaseun, Chika Ikenna Okafor
Smart, mobile, and wearable computing advancements are transforming how people compute and interact daily. These technologies are transforming learning environments into smart learning environments capable of providing personalization for inclusive learning experiences. Several evaluation frameworks were proposed to evaluate learning environments; however, there is a scarcity of a well-explored model that considers the characteristics of a smart learning environment. This article proposed an integrated model and validated it based on the strengths and limitations of the technology acceptance model (TAM) and theory of planned behavior (TPB). The validation was conducted using a focused group of students and lecturers in the...
HYBRID LEVENBERG-MARQUARDT AND CUCKOO SEARCH ALGORITHM FOR SHORT-TERM LOAD FORECASTING IN ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS
Oluwaseun Oluwaseun
Short Term Load Forecasting (STLF) of electricity supply is important for optimal planning and operation of an electric power system. However, finding an appropriate STLF model for a specific electricity network has become imperative as in-appropriate model yields sub-optimal solution and may cause a huge power loss to electrical power system. This study carry out STLF of electricity supply on Nigerian electric power system using Lavenberg-Marquardt (LM) based Back Propagation (BP) algorithm trained with Cuckoo Search (CS) algorithm. An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) forecasting model that can forecast electricity supply for one day ahead was designed using daily historical hourly...
A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF WHATSAPP’S TECH STACK AND FUNCTIONALITIES
Uchebenzene Ngozi Okoro, Ifeanyi Eze Chinedu
Social media has evolved over time and gained widespread significance in how individuals and organizations interact, share information, and build communities. Defined in various ways depending on context, it is generally recognized as a group of internet-based applications built on the principles of Web 2.0, enabling the creation and exchange of user-generated content. Kaplan and Heanlein (2010) emphasize social media as a platform for participatory content creation, while Manning (2014) highlights its interactive nature, contrasting it with traditional broadcast media. Unlike one-way communication channels like radio, social media allows for real-time engagement and feedback, empowering individuals to connect, share, and...
