    An Analysis of E-learning Information System Adoption in Ugandan Universities: Case of Makerere University Business School.
    (Information Technology Research Journal, 2012) Mayoka, Kituyi Geoffrey; Kyeyune, Robert
    This paper presents an examination of e-learning Information Systems failures and adoption problems in Ugandan universities based on Rogers and Shoemaker’s Diffusion of Technological Innovation Theory. Makerere University Business School was used as a case study, where two e-learning systems at Makerere University Business School were surveyed. A self-administered questionnaire was given to 200 respondents who comprised of academic staff, administrative staff and students. The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Findings indicate that Assistant Lectures and Lecturers were more willing to adopt to e-learning than their senior counterparts, the Professors. The results also indicate that although students are aware of e-learning, many of them were not comfortable using the technology. The most hideous challenges for e-learning adoption were identified as lack of resources, knowledge and resistance to change. A number of recommendations have been made for faster adoption and use of e-learning information systems at Makerere University Business School and other universities.

    Enhancing Social Networking Technologies Adoption through Perceived Usefulness: the setting of Ugandan Institutions of Higher Learning
    (Asian Journal of Computer and Information Systems, 2016) Bwiino, Keefa; Mayoka, Kituyi Geoffrey; Musenze, Ibrahim A.
    Social Networking Technologies (SNTs) play a major role in education by improving student academic performance through informal learning. The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of Perceived Usefulness on the adoption of Social Networking Technologies in institutions of higher learning in Uganda. A cross sectional survey methodology was employed to gather data from 146 institutions of higher learning on the variables captured by the modified Perceived Usefulness construct of the Technology Acceptance Model. Results of correlation and regression analysis indicated that a positive and significant relationship exists between Perceived Usefulness and SNTs adoption. These findings have theoretical implications for models of SNTs adoption and practical interventions designed at increasing use of SNTs. The findings of this study suggests that managers of higher institutions of learning should advice users on the usefulness of SNTs adoption in learning so as to improve on their academic job performance, increase productivity and enhance effectiveness in teaching and learning in institutions of higher learning in Uganda.

    ICT Infrastructure, Mobile Money Systems and Customer Satisfaction in Uganda
    (International Scientific Research Journal, 2012) Kyeyune, Robert; Mayoka, Kituyi Geoffrey; Miiro, Edward
    The advent of mobile money transfer and payment systems in Uganda has caused excitement to many people due to the numerous benefits this technology offers. However, some mobile money customers have expressed their dissatisfaction about the technology. This study investigated the current ICT infrastructural situation on which mobile money transfer and mobile payment systems run and the level of customer satisfaction using a survey design. Findings indicate that the ICT infrastructure is inadequate and that although customers are not satisfied with mobile technology, they still embrace it and many would like to continue using it to transfer money and make bills payments.

    A Mobile-Based Communication Adoption Model for agricultural market information dissemination in Uganda
    (Global Journal of Computers & Technology, 2016) Engotoit, Benard,; Moya, Musa B.; Mayoka, Kituyi Geoffrey; Abima, Bonface
    This study proposes a mobile-based communication adoption model for agricultural market information dissemination in Uganda. An extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology model was used to guide the study. A survey was conducted on 302 commercial farmers and agribusiness traders in Eastern Uganda using self-administered questionnaires. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics; Structural Equation Modelling was also used to perform confirmatory tests analyses on study variable relationships and to develop the proposed model. Findings reveal a positive significant relationship between Performance Expectancy and Behavioral Intentions to use; Effort Expectancy and Behavioral Intentions to use; Social influence and Behavioral intention to use; Behavioral intention to use and adoption of mobile-based communication technologies. However, the relationship between affordability of mobile-based communication technologies and behavioral intentions to use and the relationship between facilitating conditions and adoption of mobile-based communication technologies were dropped by the structural equation model because they had negative path coefficients. Effective adoption of Mobile-Based Communication Technologies for Agricultural Information Dissemination in Uganda can be achieved with stakeholders increasing on the functionality and the ease of use of these mobile-based communication technologies; provide nationwide sensitization campaigns on benefits of using mobile-based communication technologies; ensure provision of accurate and reliable agricultural market information by using mobile based communication technologies, provide benefits to members of society so as to convince others to use mobile-based communication technologies.

    Perceived Credibility of Social Networking Technologies in Uganda's Institutions of Higher Learning
    (Global Journal of Human-social Science, 2017) Bwiino, Keefa,; Bumaali, Lubogoyi; Mayoka, Kituyi Geoffrey
    Purpose: The study aims to examine the influence of Perceived Credibility on the use of Social Networking Technologies (SNTs) in institutions of higher learning in Uganda. The Study evaluates the influence of Perceived Ease of Use, Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Credibility on the adoption of Social Networking Technologies. Research Methodology: The study opted for cross sectional survey methodology to gather data from 146 institutions of higher learning on the variables captured by the modified Perceived Ease of Use, Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Credibility construct. Findings: Results of correlation and regression analysis indicated that in addition to Perceived Ease of Use and Perceived Usefulness, a positive and significant relationship exists between Perceived Credibility and SNTs adoption. Research Limitations: The Study was limited to senior managers, further research is recommended to investigate the perceived credibility of SNTs by Students and Lecturers because they are the actual users of such technologies.

    Perceived Ease of Use as a Predictor of Social Networking Technologies Adoption in Institutions of Higher Learning in Uganda
    (Global Journal of Computers & Technology, 2016) Keefa, Bwiino; Mayoka, Kituyi Geoffrey; Musenze, Ibrahim A.
    Social Networking Technologies (SNTs) play a major role in education by improving student academic performance through a participatory culture. The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU) on the adoption of Social Networking Technologies in institutions of higher learning in Uganda. A cross sectional survey methodology was employed to gather data from 146 institutions of higher learning on the variables captured by the modified PEOU construct. Results of correlation and regression analysis indicated that a positive and significant relationship exists between Perceived Ease of Use and SNTs adoption. These findings have theoretical implications for models of SNTs adoption by aligning Perceived Ease of Use as a Significant Predictor of SNT adoption. The findings also have practical interventions designed at increasing use of SNTs by pointing out that lecturers and students should conceptualize the aspects of technology-enhanced tools and realize the potential of the use of SNTs in the lecturing and learning contexts respectively.
