The KNUST E-Learning Centre aids the KNUST School of Nursing and Midwifery in their transition from paper -Based Exams to Online Exams

On the 23rd of January 2024, two representatives from the KNUST School of Nursing and Midwifery paid a visit to the Director of the KNUST E-learning Center to express their desire to switch from paper-based exams to online exams. The Director, Prof. Eric Appau Asante together with his team were quick to grasp the importance of this initiative.

They were enthusiastic about contributing to the technological evolution of education at KNUST. The collaboration kicked off with a series of brainstorming sessions where the two teams discussed the requirements, challenges and potential solutions for implementing online exams.

As part of the move to switch to online exams, the E-learning team also offered to train supervisors on how to set up their questions online in preparation for the upcoming mid-semester examinations which will start on the 26th of February, 2024. The training will be scheduled for the 19th to the 21st of February 2024.

The success of the pilot phase will pave the way for the complete integration of online exams into the School of Nursing’s curriculum. The collaboration between the School of Nursing and the E-learning Center will become a model for other departments within KNUST, inspiring a university-wide shift towards modernised assessment methods.
