Advancing Online short courses in KNUST: KEC and CCBI hold strategic meeting

The KNUST E-Learning Centre (KEC) and the Centre for Capacity Building and Innovation (CCBI) have held a crunch meeting to deliberate and chart a path on the running of online short courses in the University. The meeting was held on the 7th of October, 2022 at the KNUST E-Learning Centre.

Explaining the rationale for such a collaborative move, Prof. Eric Appau Asante, the Director of the KNUST E-Learning Centre mentioned that, “realizing the strides the Centre for Capacity Building and Innovation has made in running short courses in the University and the fact that both Centres are under the Office of the Vice-Chancellor, it is appropriate that we harmonize lines of operations when it comes to the running of short courses online.” This, he added, would help both Centres in the fulfilment of their mandates.

Dr. Yaw Amo Sarpong, the coordinator of short courses at the Centre for Capacity Building and Innovation expressed his delight about the fact that the two offices are striking this partnership. He pledged his outfit's utmost support for the implementation of the issues discussed.

Deliberations also centered on identifying and strengthening various courses that were already running online and those that could be repurposed for online delivery. The entourage then took a tour of the E-Learning facilities to see at first hand the equipment that would drive the agenda discussed
