CHAPTER TWO - REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURES

    This will be divided into sections according to the nature of the topic. It is evidence of work by researchers in the field and normally will contain introduction
to the subject matter, an understanding of the body of knowledge demonstrated by evidence of findings literature with proper referencing in APA method.
Successful case studies of implementation of the technology would need to be cited.
