    How can e-learning integration be realized? An exploratory study in Higher Education Institutions
    (Asian Journal of Computer Science And Information Technology, 2013) Tusubira, Philper I.; Mayoka, Kituyi G.; Nyeko, Sonny
    E-learning, which encompasses the use of technology and other computer enhanced learning methods, has been identified one way of delivering low cost and efficient education service in both developed and developing countries. These technologies have been adapted to support other methods of teaching in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). However, despite efforts by many HEIs to integrate e-learning in their teaching processes, many of them have not succeeded or they have not obtained benefits from the e-learning due to barriers that limit the integration process. This study was conducted to investigate the factors affecting the integration of e-learning with other teaching methods. To achieve this, five Higher Education Institutions in Uganda were purposively identified to participate in the study. A self-administered questionnaire was administered to a sample of 341 students and staff from the selected HEIs. Quantitative statistics including means, frequencies and percentages were used to analyze the data. The main barriers to integration of e-learning were identified as lack of knowledge, lack of resources and staff failure to adapt to new teaching technologies.

    (Journal of Business Management and Administration, 2013) Nyeko, Sonny; Kabaale, Edward; Moya, Musa; Amulen, Christine; Mayoka Kituyi, Geoffrey
    This study examined the role of information communication technology (ICT) small and medium enterprises (SMEs) toward job creation in Kampala Uganda through a quantitative survey research design. The study mainly centered on the jobs created by small and medium size enterprises that provided ICT service and/or ICT based products. Primary data were collected using a pretested questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Findings indicate that airtime retailing, phone repair and mobile money created most of the jobs (34, 19 and 17% respectively). Majority of ICT SMEs (73%) employed 1-5 people and most jobs created were for Technicians (40%) and Sales representatives (35%) while very few of the jobs were in software development (2%). The findings further indicate that 75% of the jobs created were in lower level of the management hierarchy while only 8% were top level jobs. In terms of salary, most employees of ICT SMEs in Kampala earned Ush.100,000- Ush.200,000 a month (43%), while only 5% earned Ush.1M and above.
