Abstract

This study evaluates how students view online teaching and learning during COVID- Pandemic. A cross-sectional descriptive survey of University of Technology (UT) students at the Ga-Rankuwa Campus was conducted. Data were gathered from 295 students using a self-administered questionnaire and analysed using descriptive statistics. Prior to the pandemic, 25.1% of the students used online learning platforms for at least six hours; however, during the pandemic, 53.6% of the students did so (p<0.001). Students said that learning online was interesting (54.9%) and fun (55.1%) and allowed them to ask questions (59.4%). About 62% found teachers to be well prepared for the lessons. Over half (56.5%) of the pupils thought they were ready for their careers. Benefits of online learning included not having to travel, saving money, allowing students to learn at their own pace, and increased comfort; drawbacks included the need for an internet connection, a lack of gadgets, and interruptions from family. Students find online learning to be convenient, efficient, entertaining, and engaging. The absence of electronics, erratic Internet connections, and family distractions were experienced.

Abstract

The importance of small scale agricultural sustainability is gradually declining in low and middle income economies due to the assortment of changes in agriculture and the environment. Moreover, the high withdrawal of small scale farmers from the market disrupts the direct relationships between producers and consumers, and also puts at risk food security, primarily on the local and regional scale. This paper focuses on optimizing farming activities of the small scale dairy farmers (SSDFs) through crowdsourcing and synergy (CSS) platforms. The methodology for this paper is anchored on the construction of resolve using logic and rationality. This paper points that agricultural outputs are more valuable when delivered by teams because of positive synergies. Moreover, agricultural activities could be optimized through collaborative farming and community supported agriculture as CSS platforms known as crowd-collaborative farming (CCF). CCF could effect increased benefits due to suitability of the crafted member composition, yielding improved local market performance in many settings. Moreover, research on CCF as a tool to develop efficient mechanisms for revenue distribution among the collaborators is necessary. The study further recommends that SSDFs should be trained towards CCF to enhance their production output, especially those experiencing high failures and less returns due to debt erosion. SSDFs they should keep in sync with the consumers.
