Embracing Opportunities: Highlights from Day 3 of E-Learning Week at KNUST

The day's activities highlighted the potential of digital education and content creation in today's world, spotlighting innovative initiatives and invaluable insights from industry leaders.

Kwadwo Sheldon Inspires Aspiring Content Creators

Renowned content creator and co-founder of Kwadwo Sheldon Studios, Bernard Kwadwo Amoafo, affectionately known as Kwadwo Sheldon, captivated the audience with his dynamic presentation. With six years of experience in content creation, Sheldon shared his journey and the pivotal role of entertainment content in the digital landscape. "During the COVID period, we identified the need for people to consume content," Sheldon stated.

"Based on data and metrics, we knew the type of content to create. We've stayed true to our entertainment focus because once you sway, people start questioning your brand identity." Sheldon emphasized the importance of understanding one's audience and making data-driven decisions. "Make sure whatever you are giving your audience has value.

Leverage every platform to optimize your social currency. Understand the platform dynamics—what works on Facebook might not work on Twitter."

He also took a tour of the E-Learning Centre's newly built studios, praising the initiative for providing students with state-of-the-art facilities to create content. "You should not turn a blind eye to this. This is something students should be part of. Go out there and explore the spaces. They bought the equipment for you."

Global Opportunities with the Association of Commonwealth Universities

Emmanuel Adeniyi, the Regional Engagement Representative for the Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU), provided a comprehensive overview of global opportunities available through the ACU. He highlighted the significance of scholarships and educational programs in positioning oneself for global relevance.

"Our membership as ACU trickles down to staff and students of universities," Adeniyi explained. "The ACU is committed to delivering educational opportunities that make a positive and lasting difference. Students can benefit from programs like the ACU Summer School, Commonwealth Scholarships, Queen Elizabeth Commonwealth Scholarships, and the Ocean Country Partnership Programme Scholarship." Adeniyi encouraged students to leverage these opportunities to enhance their academic and professional journeys. "How you position yourself for these opportunities is crucial. Make yourself globally relevant by leveraging these scholarships."
