KNUST E-LEARNING CENTRE

📍 Freshers, the Virtual-Class is part of your KNUST experience, so get familiar with it early! At the @ChsKnust orientation at the Great Hall, we introduced students to KEC services, including V-Class, online exams, Microsoft 365, Google for Education and Gemini.

📍 At the KNUST E-Learning Centre, we are stepping into November ready to support teaching, learning and digital innovation.

📍 Happy new week from KEC! Our Nigerian brother, Adeniyi Emmanuel, Higher Education Lead for West and Central Africa at Google for Education, spent the week with us, training KNUST Faculty and Students on Gemini. Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge with us.

📍That is what hands-on learning can look like! Watch our Faculty Members share what they tried, what they learnt and how they plan to bring Gemini into their teaching. The Centre is pleased to support faculty as they build confidence in using AI for teaching and learning.

📍Watch some excerpts of the Gemini training for faculty members. Because these days, students are asking questions about AI, lecturers are exploring it too, and there is a lot to learn. Take a look at some of what happened in the room. You might pick up a thing or two!

📍 Today, we are bringing a little Ghanaian flavour to your timeline! Our Director, @ekakowuah , and Senior Assistant Registrar, @abidzama , are giving us a good dose of African print inspiration. Now, let’s see your African print Friday look. How are you rocking yours?

📍At KEC, supporting the people who use our services is part of the work. The person helping a lecturer connect to the system, the technician sorting out a technical issue, and the instructional designer helping to make digital learning work all have a place in our story.

📍Stay with us as we bring you excerpts from remarks by Adeniyi Emmanuel, Higher Education Lead for West and Central Africa at Google for Education, during the training of 50 KNUST faculty members on Google’s Gemini AI tools.

📍 Undergrad and postgrad students took part in a hands-on session on Google’s Gemini AI tools, facilitated by Adeniyi Emmanuel, Higher Education Lead for West and Central Africa at Google for Education. They explored how Gemini can support students with difficult topics.

📍Beyond knowing what AI can do, learn how to put it to practical use in higher education. In partnership with Google for Education, we are taking selected participants through a hands-on session of the Train-the-Trainer Gemini Academy.

📍 290+ faculty members have had their first Gemini lesson. But we’re not closing the laptop yet! An in-person, hands-on session is coming this October, with more work ahead to help staff and students use AI responsibly.

📍 Happy new week from Team E-Learning! And as the new week begins, remember: when online teaching and learning gives you problems, we’re only a click away. KNUST and beyond, we’ve got you covered.
