The aim of the research was to assess the effect of management information system in the service delivery with emphasizes on the health information system at the Kumasi campus clinic of the University of Education Winneba. The study sought to achieve its purpose through three objectives by examining the implementation and use, factors enabling or constraining the implementation and use and impact of the implementation and use of health information system on service delivery by the University of Education Winneba, Kumasi campus clinic among both staff and students. The study sought to measure its objectives by adopting a quantitative and qualitative approach with a cross sectional exploratory design by gathering data through the use of questionnaire from a sample size of 30 respondents (5 clinic staff, 5 other university staff and 20 students). The data was analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software and Microsoft Excel. The overview of the main results disclosed that the HIS (MEDREC) is used by all students and staff of the university, with documents being fully maintained using HIS and almost all respondents recognized wanting to continue using MEDREC. The key findings indicated that, management benefits a lot from the HIS through quality of patients’ records, attending to patients simultaneously, quality requisitions, faster and easier booking of appointment, no discrimination, reduction in waiting time and avoidance of harmful delays, respectful and responsive healthcare, end user satisfaction of the system among others. The HIS is however burdened with problem of procurement of the hardware infrastructure, end user inability, billing issues, redundancy issues, waiting time and missing data/information issues. The research therefore concludes that the university should support and sustain the HIS and that concrete measures should be taken to curb evolving difficulties faced by the use of the HIS.

The study seeks to assess the training needs of IMVGs for enhancement and development of the sector as strategies of improving garages efficiency and effectiveness. Therefore, this study was considered as a step towards theory building relating to garages TNA in Ghana. The population for study consists of all garages owners/managers and potential drivers that deal with repairs and servicing of petrol and diesel engines in motor vehicle garages in the Tamale Metropolis. A purposive sample were used to select 100 garages managers and senior mechanics and simple random sampling technique were used to select 100 drivers for the purpose of the results of the study showed that knowledge and skills of vehicle master craft men, correlates very well among variables, which ranges between 0.846 and 0.294. The study also showed that customer relations with garage managers, customers trust for garage mechanics is quite good with the mean score between 3.34 to 4.65 with correlations ranging between 0.799 and 0.412. These values show very good correlations. On quality (customer satisfaction) service of informal motor vehicle garages, the mean score of each variable is shown between 3.18 to 3.58. Most of the correlations are good, 0.75 and very few are low, 0.020. Also, results established that customer are satisfied with motor vehicle garages in TaMA, with a mean score of each variable is shown ranges from 3.31 to 3.69. This correlation shows very good accord ranging between 0.83 and 0.35 with a very good KMO value of .912. In future study into this area should be aimed at establishing the courses and effects of the few customer dissatisfactions. This will go a long way to help chatter sustainable strategies for this important informal sector of our economy.

Robots, artificial intelligence, bitcoins, block chain, IoT (Internet of Things), and Cloud Computing are innovation of technologies that solve problems in the world and are backed by programming. Learning of programing has become relevant in Ghanaian schools where students are expected to develop interest and equip themselves with knowledge and skills in programming. The study sought to determine the effects of project work, tutorials, and accessibility of resources on the internet on the perception of students towards their interest in computer programming. The study used a descriptive survey design. The population for the study was 8,420 with 368 as a sample size. A stratified random sampling technique was used for sampling participants for the study and a purposive sampling technique was used to select three public universities in Ghana. The researcher used a questionnaire to gather the data for studying the issue under investigation. Analysis of the data was done through the use of the SPSS and PROCESS Macro. Data collected from the respondents were analysed using both inferential statistics and descriptive statistics. The study found that students' perception of programming at the university was higher which enhanced their interest in programming. The study revealed that there was a direct significant effect of project work on students' perception of programming. The study revealed that there was a direct significant impact of accessibility of resources from the internet on students' perception of programming. The study revealed that there was a direct significant effect of tutorials on students' perception of programming. The study concluded that there was a direct significant mediating effect of students' perception of programming on the relationship between the accessibility of resources from the internet and college students' interest in programming.
