    The Influence of Management Quality on Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning Information Systems Success: Extension of DeLone and McLean Model
    (Research gate, 2022) Andresile, Peter; Okwadi Tukei, Joseph M.; Edemacu, Kennedy; Tukei, Lyn
    As focus has shifted from continuum to contiguum approach of humanitarian response, organizations have invested in Information Systems (IS) to support their Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E), Accountability and Learning (MEAL) functions. Although IS researchers and M&E practitioners acknowledge the multidimensional and complex social aspects associated with IS few researchers have investigated the role of the project/program managers in the success of IS as they struggle to ascertain the success of the M&E/MEAL Information Systems (MEALIS) adopted in various organizations. Motivated by this lacuna, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of management quality on MEALIS performance using the widely acclaimed DeLone and McLean (D&M) Model of IS Success (ISS) as the theoretical basis. A cross-sectional research design with mixed approach skewed towards descriptive/quantitative method was adopted for the study. A total of 263 respondents submitted responses to the questionnaire and 3 interviews were conducted. IBM SPSS Statistics was used for descriptive and correlation data analysis and hypothesis testing using Partial Least Squares – Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) technique using SmartPLS 3 software. The findings of correlation analysis indicated that Pearson’s coefficient (with 1-tailed sig. value of 0.000) was 0.634** for management quality construct and R squared value of 0.539 suggesting significant positive relationship between the independent variable (management quality) and the indicators of successful MEALIS performance. The hypothesis testing results using PLS-SEM technique revealed that management quality (MAQ) was found to be positively related with MEALIS performance with path coefficient, β, of 0.227 (p>0.05). The study concluded that management quality is positively related and significantly impacts on MEALIS success and therefore, an important determinant of MEALIS success. Therefore, system developers and M&E practitioners are recommended to keenly consider/involve managers in designing, developing and implementing MEALIS.

    Information Quality and Information Systems Success: Perspective of Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning Information Systems Grounded on DeLone and McLean Model
    (Research gate, 2022) Andresile, Peter; Tukei, J.M.O.; Alupo, Charity D.; Tukei, Lyn; Edemacu, Kennedy
    As focus has shifted from continuum to contiguum approach of humanitarian response, organizations have invested in Information Systems (IS) to support their Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E), Accountability and Learning (MEAL) functions. The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of information quality on MEALIS performance in humanitarian organizations in developing country context using the widely acclaimed DeLone and McLean (D&M) Model of IS Success (ISS) as the theoretical basis. A cross-sectional research design with mixed approach skewed towards descriptive/quantitative method was adopted for the study. A total of 263 respondents submitted responses to the questionnaire and 3 interviews were conducted. IBM SPSS Statistics was used for descriptive and correlation data analysis and hypothesis testing using Partial Least Squares – Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) technique using SmartPLS 3 software. The findings of correlation analysis indicated that Pearson’s coefficients (with 1-tailed sig. value of 0.000) ranged from 0.514** to 0.770** for dimensions of information quality construct suggesting significant positive relationship between the independent variable (information quality) and MEALIS success. The hypothesis testing results using PLS-SEM technique revealed that information quality (INQ) was found to be positively related with MEALIS performance with path coefficients, β, of 0.556 (p>0.05). The study concluded that, information quality significantly positively influences the success of MEALIS in humanitarian organizations. It is recommended that

    A Teaching and Learning Softboard Application
    (ResearchGate, 2010) Andresile, Peter; Oyo, Benedict
    A soft-board application allows users to write, draw, and manipulate graphics just like they would do with physical aids such as chalk/white boards or pen and paper. These applications have over the years advanced from basic shapes and colouring to merged shapes, rotating shapes, patterns, and web themes. At the same time, existing tools on soft-board applications are limited to texts, selections, arrows, pencil, connectors, basic shapes, stars, and flowcharts, hence less appropriate for teaching and learning. This paper investigates tools needed in teaching and learning and develops an extended soft-board application with most tools for physical and biological sciences. A comparative analysis with related applications is made, scoring our application highest on easy of use, learnability, and usability features of effective user interface design.
