The College of Education, University of Ghana, is strengthening students' readiness for university life through a one-day digital literacy training programme designed to familiarise newly admitted students with the University's key academic and administrative platforms.
Organised by the College's Academic Affairs Unit in collaboration with the Office of the Provost, the training was held on Wednesday, 28th October, 2026, at the ITD Lab 2. It focused on equipping freshmen and women with the practical knowledge and skills needed to navigate the University's Student Information System (STS), Management Information System (MIS) and SAKAI learning platform.

Through practical demonstrations and guided sessions, students were familiarised with the processes involved in navigating the platforms and accessing the services available to them. SAKAI provides an online learning environment for accessing course materials and participating in learning activities, while the MIS and STS support access to essential University information and student-related administrative and academic services.
The training forms part of the College's broader efforts to facilitate a smooth transition for newly admitted students and ensure that they are adequately prepared to engage with the University's digital systems. It also underscores the importance of digital literacy in helping students take greater responsibility for their academic activities and make effective use of available University resources.
