KNUST Introduces pilot E-learning project

THE Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has rolled out a pilot project in three of its colleges as it introduces a shift from the traditional system of teaching to electronic learning.

The e-learning, which is currently being implemented at the Colleges of Arts and Built Environment, Agriculture and Natural Resources and the College of Science, is to help solve congestion problem in lecture halls and aid students to access knowledge and participate in lectures at any place. 

A multi-purpose e-learning centre, which was built by the university and inaugurated early this year aided with an update of its ICT policies, and expanded services, is also to assist lecturers to deliver their lecture notes anywhere, including from their homes.

The Dean of International Programmes Office of the university, Prof. William Oduro, announced this at the First National Conference on problem-based learning and E-learning.
