Internet technology has been revolutionary over the years especially in the educational sector. However, the utility of internet technology in the learning process of a student in a higher learning institution has not been determined over the years. This has been due to the evolution that has taken place in education. This paper aims at helping in the development of an algorithmic model that will be used for the prediction of internet technology utilization in learning. Specifically, the research will focus on modelling the Cobb- Douglas production theorem to predict the learning output of a given student considering the utility of the internet technology, the infrastructural investment made by the institution of higher learning and the effort of the student. The results of this ongoing research will eventually be of great importance in helping institutions of higher learning determine their returns after investing in internet technology. The students will also be informed on how to use the internet technology in a better way in order to get the best out of the resource.

During the height of 21<sup>st</sup> Century Learning, educators across the globe are demanded to find ways, methods and techniques to engage modern learners in the learning process. Nowadays, with the simplicity provided by the Internet, it is not as difficult and painful to help with the process. One of the fun ways to educate learners is with games, digital games. Games are usually intended to increase learners’ desire for competition, goal achievement and genuine self-expression, all in the while games are also great to promote interactivity, have a set of rules with a quantifiable result, can be colorful, as well as appealing and extremely realistic. This paper is based on an interactive workshop which was focused in exploring the app, Kahoot!, that claims to provide educators with a chance to create a game-based assessment in different forms, such as multiple-choice questions, jumbled vocabulary, jumbled sentences. Healthy competition and rewarding good ideas provided by Kahoot! app also said to be motivational both to educators and for modern learners. It is expected that through this workshop participants are comfortable and able to incorporate Kahoot! into a variety of learning environments and will have the opportunity to design game-based learning events that can be used in the classroom. Finally, the workshop provided an opportunity for participants to discuss strengths, weaknesses, benefits and challenges in using Kahoot!.

This study sought to investigate on effectiveness of online teaching and learning during the Covid-19 Pandemic: A Case of one university in Zimbabwe. The study adopted quantitative approach in which 202 students were given an online questionnaire to fill. Data was analyzed through graphs to indicate the perception of students on effectiveness and challenges involved in the online teaching and learning. The study concludes that the e-teaching and e-learning adopted to minimize negative impact of Covid-19 Pandemic were not effective. High number of students (63% and 14%) reported that the whole process was frustrating as they could not learn effectively. Furthermore, students revealed that their failure was due to various challenges including inefficient strategies used by lecturers and difficulties to stablish and maintain relevant and fruitful interaction between lecturers and students. The learning process was monotonous. Lecturers could not convey adequate feedback and tests and assignments were not clear. To overcome challenges indicated by students, the study recommends that institutions of higher learning provide relevant equipment and educators be trained to develop competencies and skills for e-learning.

In the Internet era, knowledge sharing makes learning more efficient and effective. Drawing on knowledge sharing theories, this paper firstly analyses the influencing factors of knowledge sharing in individual or enterprise. The analysis shows that, knowledge sharing is highly self-incentive, for shared knowledge is more active and more likely to be shared again; knowledge sharing on the Internet is affected by Internet technology, the location of the sharer, and the inner and outer incentive mechanisms. On this basis, the mu-sic learning process was modelled based on knowledge sharing, learning and innovation, and used to analyse the music learning process considering the correlation between knowledge sharing and knowledge innovation. The re-search findings lay a solid theoretical basis for music professionals and enthusiasts to improve their learning and skills.

The rapid emergence of multi-media technology and internet technology is one of the typical characteristics during the information era, and their combination enables the carrier and transmission mode of modern knowledge and information to realize the leap in quality. The chemistry is one of the four fundamental courses of teaching system in the institutions of higher learning, but the chemical experiment is where the soul of chemical teaching lies. It is not merely the important means of making the students acquire the chemical knowledge, know the chemical rule, form the chemical concept and improve all sorts of capabilities, besides, the cultivation of the student’s creative spirit and ability in this process can not be replaced by other disciplines. However, in today’s chemical experimental class, the teaching effect of chemical experimental course is not perfect, because of the influence of experimental conditions, lab surroundings, time and other factors. By the design, the development and the utilization of multi-media network technology, the multimedia library, the video technology and the simulation technology, the teaching effect of chemical experimental course can be promoted to a large degree.
