    Blended Learning Resources in Constrained Bandwidth Environment: Considerations for Network and Multimedia Optimization
    (Advances in Computer Science: An International Journal, 2013) Suhail, Nazir Ahmad; Lubega, Jude; Maiga, Gilbert
    The potential of multimedia teaching and learning approach at higher education is well recognized by researchers, as it is a powerful tool to increase the perceived level of user satisfaction, leading to enhance the blended learning process. However, the learning process can be improved significantly by delivering the content using visual media (video, audio, and graphics). On the other hand, such multimedia contents require larger bandwidth for transmission over the Internet, which is limited in developing environments where demand always exceeds the resource. This paper constructs a framework comprising of network optimization and multimedia optimization, as two main components, aimed to improve the multimedia performance in the context of constrained bandwidth environment.

    An Evaluation Strategy for the Moodle Learning Environment based on Blooms Taxonomy.
    (In CSEDU, 2011) Bagarukayo, Emily; Weide, Theo P. van der; Lubega, Jude
    Learning environments are based on core foundations, describing how knowledge is acquired and used, the underlying pedagogical philosophy, the supported learning process, the role of technique and culture, and related pragmatics. Bloom's Digital Taxonomy (BDT) describes the various thinking skills, ranging from low to high order thinking skills. We relate the learning environment Moodle to BDT by relating the core foundations with the thinking skills. We evaluate Moodle from different points of views: - methods, effectiveness and comparison with the existing learning environments.``
