Undoubtably, the rise of technology of the information and communication (ITCs) was what revolutionized the current epoch, giving a radical turn to the way in which we communicate, learn, and work—a situation that led to considering information the most valuable resource toward progress and education the médium through which to produce it and distribute it. This led governments to generate high expectations regarding the use of technologies in education, believing that they offered the possibility of innovating teaching processes and improve learning processes, it being a motive for a UNESCO world declaration. However, recent studies demonstrate that the incorporation and use of ITCs in classrooms have not been easy for various reasons, especially the financial cost they represent, the challenge of digital literacy for teachers and students, and, most importantly, the use that they make of ITCs. In this regard, in this work, a methodological framework is proposed, understood as a set of actions geared toward describing and analyzing an object of research orientadas, in this case, the use of technologies in formal education. For this purpose, a meticulous survey is performed to choose a paradigm, a qualitative-humanistic perspective, a method, an orientation, the scope of the study, and techniques for data gathering and análisis, as well as to determine the population and sample.

This study investigates the extent of prisoners&rsquo; legal entitlements as well as how prisoners acquire legal assistance within the prison setup. It is argued that inmates&rsquo; legal entitlements within the prison bureaucracy are devoid of the ideal of access to justice. The study used the mixed-method approach in data gathering. For the quantitative aspect, a sample of 300 inmates was used. Simple random and systematic sampling techniques were used to select the respondents. For the qualitative aspect, the following participants were purposively selected: ex-convicts, a paralegal prison officer, a court warrant officer, prison after-care officer, registrars, and relatives of inmates. The analysed data showed that most inmates did not receive family support during their trial before conviction. It was also found that inmates had no access to legal materials due to lack of law libraries, yet received some form of legal education from prison staff. Even though the court proceedings of inmates formed a critical part of their appeal process, a little above half of the inmate population had access to these documents. With the advancement in Information and Communication Technology, it is recommended that all courts should be digitized with relevant logistics and improved infrastructure to smoothen access to case files.

This study examined the factors affecting use of information and communication technology (ICT) in the management of emergency situations in Lagos, Nigeria. The study adopted the qualitative approach in data gathering. Face-to-face interview was conducted with 15 key informants at 12 emergency management agencies which were selected out of a total of 43 agencies through multistage sampling. The agencies were first stratified into federal, state and non-governmental agencies and the selection of agencies as well as respondents was done using purposive sampling method. The selected respondents consisted of ICT personnel, risk management officers and other top management officers, such as directors, assistant directors/heads of department, and supervisors. The result showed that there were no suitable organisational or operational structures that could assist the deployment of ICT in emergency situations at the selected agencies; however, there was a high level of basic appreciation of simple ICT tools and facilities. The study recommended that agencies with no presence on the social media should create accounts through which they can share information and also interact with citizens as well as other agencies. Furthermore, there is a need to have additional policies at the state government level with regards to emergency management. It was also recommended that government agencies should acquire and use sophisticated technology equipments which can promote emergency management.
