Electricity, Computers, Innovation, Environment and Capacity Building: A Statistical Review
Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering) - Year 2014, Vol 16, Issue 5
Abstract
Abstract : The objective was to examine the frameworks needed to foster innovations and to mobilize innovation towards co - creating computers in the context of developing countries’ challenge of unreliable energy supply, in order to enhance performance of information and communication technology (ICT) as teaching aids for educational attainment. The basic underlying assumption is that computers are the simplest interactive instructional devices and that energy is a fundamental requirement for its functionality. A sample survey was conducted to ascertain the existing energy and ICT situation and needs amongst students. 213 questionnaires were administered to students of the University of Ibadan, and the Polytechnic, Ibadan in Oyo state of Nigeria. Investigation on technologies that can make the computer more relevant to users and adaptable to the environment revealed 51.4% suggesting longer battery life, 21.8% - double battery pack, 8.5% - both longer battery life and double battery pack and 7% - a reduction in the energy consumption of component parts of the computer. Apparently, there is a need to maximize the full potentials of the computer to enhance educational development and to expose students across the globe to equal platforms and opportunities for learning.
