    Challenges and Opportunities of Unemployed College Graduate Youth in Woldia Town
    (Addis Ababa University, 2019-06) Molla, Alemayehu; Mesele, Mengistab (Phd)
    ABSTRACT This study was conducted to examines the challenges and opportunities of unemployed college graduate youth in Woldia town administration of North Wollo zone, Amhara Region. The research employed qualitative case study design. Semi-structured interview method was used to collect data. Sample for study was selected through purposive sampling procedures. The findings revealed that unemployment closely related to being unfair recruitment procedure such as selection via political affiliation and social ties; lack of good governance; complex loan accessing procedure; political unrest and lack of sufficient job creation programs. The situation seems to be challenging for the town administration. In this study findings revealed that in relation with their status of unemployment graduate youths faced psychological and socioeconomic problems including involved in political disputes and violence. It is found that there are no sufficient job creation opportunities, coordinated and toiled strategies to address the unemployment problem of today’s college graduate youth. It recommends that the local government, institution of higher education and the private sector players should increasingly promote and support youth entrepreneurial training and job creation programs as well as closely work to ensure accountable and transparent recruitment procedure to be in place. Key words: Youth, Unemployment, College Graduate Youth

    Developing a User Friendly Courseware: A Case Study with Inventory Management
    (Addis Ababa University, 1995-05) Molla, Alemayehu; Tadesse, Taye (PhD); Biru, Tesfaye (PhD)
    These days, the use/implementation of computer in education is becoming increasingly attractive. There is now a general understanding among workers in this area that the application of computers in education can be categorized as TUTOR (CAI), TOOL and TUTEE . The TUTOR application (which is the subject of concern here) in particular, relates to the use of computers as educational delivery systems where as the TOOL and TUTEE applications refers to the use of computer for performing certain tasks and for programming respectively. A typ ical eAl/TUTOR system consists of a COURSEWARE (a specially designed software for classroom instructional use), along with the hardware and system software required to run such software. As with any other software, courseware development requires analysis of the requirements first, in particular, answer to such basic questions as When to use a course ware? how to design (develop) a user friendly course ware and what factors to consider in the design of such a course ware. This study attempts to address these questions by way of demonstrating the design and development of a user friendly course ware using the available resources at SISA. A literature survey of definitions, types and design considerations of watercourse along with the main reasons behind the use and current development trends is presented. Among the development models suggested for the use in developing watercourse, the ISD model is

    Development of User-Friendly Courseware: A Case Study with Inventory Management
    (Addis Ababa University, 1995-05) Molla, Alemayehu; Tadesse, Taye (PhD); Birru, Tesfaye (PhD)
    These days, the uselimplementation of computer in education is becoming increasingly attractive. There is now a general understanding among workers in this area that the application of computers in education can be categorized as TUTOR (CAl), TOOL and TUTEE . The TUTOR application (which is the subject of concern here) in particular, relates to the use of computers as educational delivery systems where as the TOOL and TUTEE applications refers to the use of computer for performing certain tasks and for programming respectively . A typical CAl/TUTOR system consists of a COURSEWARE (a specially designed software for classroom instructional use), along with the hardware and system software required to run such software. As with any other software, courseware development requires analysis of the requirements first, in particular, answer to such basic questions as When to use a courseware? how to design ( develop) a user friendly courseware and what factors to consider in the design of such a courseware. This study attempts to address these questions by way of demonstrating the design and development of a user friendly courseware using the available resources at SISA. A literature survey of definitions, types and design considerations of a courseware along with the main reasons behind the use and current development trends is presented. Among the development models suggested for the use in developing a courseware, the ISD model is described in great detail. The design and development of a microcomputer based prototype courseware: Inventory Management Courseware (IMC), using the ISD model and turbo vision programming language on the basis of a course under offering at the Addis Ababa Commercial College-Addis Ababa-Ethiopia (work place of the worker) is described at length. The result of the study indicates: 1. Use of ISD model together with other tools and techniques lead to the development of a user friendly courseware within a reasonable period of time . 2. The possibility/feasibility of using high level programming languages such as Turbo Vision to develop an acceptable qual ity courseware even in the absence of specialized authoring software. 3. The team approach of designing a courseware, as it facilitate representing of different expert opinions, exchanging of ideas and identification of problem areas that might be missed otherwise results in producing a better quality courseware than individual based approach.
