“…Educators can find many examples of such successful collaboration. Using web-based resources has supported successful research by medical students [26]; outside the classroom, faculty students have collaborated internationally using web-based platforms, facilitating an awareness of culture and global Information Technology issues [27]. Opportunities to work as departmentally based virtual teams is becoming more common in academia [28].…”

Abstract. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an area of Computer Science that emphasizes the creation of intelligent systems that work, reasons and react like humans. In recent times information and computing solutions are leveraged on the concept of Artificial Intelligence with regard to Artificial Neural Network, Machine Learning, Fuzzy logic, Deep learning and Robotic Science. Applications of AI solutions have being highly effective in all sectors of human endeavors. During the Covid 19 pandemic, AI applications resulted in the rapid development and implementation of solutions which ordinarily would have taken years to achieve especially in the area of vaccine. Despite the gains of AI, we realized that less emphasis is placed in this trending area of computer science by the educational systems in Africa especially at university level. This research seeks to demand for an urgent need for a review of our educational curriculum to include AI and other trending disciplines in the frontiers of Information Technology. A multidisciplinary cloud based research model was also formulated which can be adopted in our educational system to foster multidisciplinary research. This will improve quality and efficient research outputs from universities in Africa.

Virtual Collaboration in Academia

More nurses and nurse educators today are working distantly in different geographic locations from others, and this includes working from home or satellite locations (Poulsen & Ipsen, 2017). Can we work collaboratively in a purely distance relationship? In academia, collaboration between colleagues is common and often mandated. Being able to engage with others in a collegial manner is necessary, and in some instances the relationship may be purely virtual. This revolution in cognitive capability uses long-distance interactive technology and the structure of professional learning communities. Successful group collaboration is driven by high expectations, shared goals, professionalism, and peer accountability. Such collaboration may be viewed as involving a nonlinear theory of change, with multiple factors influencing processes and outcomes. Factors impacting success include academic considerations (professional goals, disciplinary expertise), nonacademic issues (personal preferences, financial factors), and the development of a culture of trust and collective leadership. Practical strategies to implement such virtual collaboration are discussed.
