    Challenges of Implementing E-Learning in Kenya: A Case of Kenyan Public Universities
    (2015) Tarus, John K; Gichoya, David; Muumbo, Alex M
    In this paper, we discuss the challenges experienced by Kenyan public universities in implementation of e-learning and recommend possible solutions towards its successful implementation. In the last few years, most Kenyan public universities have adopted e-learning as a new approach to teaching and learning. However, the implementation challenges faced by these universities have continued to impact negatively on its effective utilization. This paper presents the findings from a survey of 148 staff of three Kenyan public universities who are currently using e-learning in blended mode approach. The purpose of this study was to investigate the challenges hindering the implementation of e-learning in Kenyan public universities. Data was collected through questionnaires, in-depth interviews and document analysis. The findings reveal that e-learning comes with some challenges that must be addressed by Kenyan public universities before successful implementation can be realized. However, the benefits and opportunities presented by e-learning far outweigh the challenges. The paper finally recommends some possible solutions that public universities could embrace towards successful implementation of e-learning.

    E-Medical Consultation for Diagnosis and Treatment of Hyperten sion in Pregnancy: an Opportunity to achieve the 5 th Millennium Development Goal in Kenya
    (2012) Gudu, Jael; Gichoya, David; Muumbo, AM; Nyongesa, Paul
    This study sought to establ ish the challenges that the Reproductive Health Division (Hi gh Risk Pregnancy Clinic) at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital based in Eldoret city, one of the two referral hospitals in Kenya, faces in adopting e-medical consultation as a way of impr oving maternal healthcare for patients with hypertension in pregnancy and reducing maternal deaths. In this paper, an outline of the strategies and pillars that the Clinic needs to adopt to embrace the use of e-medical consultation for the diagnosis, treatment and management of hypertension in pregnancy is pr esented. The survey conducted established that the division is still lagging behind and has not adopted the use of e-he alth, especially in the consultation sessions between the doctors and patients. The outlined strategies when implemented will help steer the Reproductive Health Division (High Risk Pregnancy Clinic) to wards making healthcare services available in an efficient and effective way to expectant women with the condition. The model could be adopted to extend the same to less endowed areas around the globe, where specialist: patient ratio is low.
