UEW Digital Team Return from GOT Mobility Project
A team from the University of Education, Winneba (UEW), has completed the first phase of the Erasmus+ funded GOT Mobility Project, an initiative aimed at transforming digital integration in education.
The GOT Mobility Project aims to foster collaboration, exchange knowledge, and pave the way for innovative research.
Led by Prof. Benjamin Ghansah and Dr. Christopher Yarkwah (University of Cape Coast), the team of Digital Champions, embarked on a transformative journey to Tampere University in Finland and Tallinn University in Estonia from 6th to 13th April, 2024.
Other members of the team comprised Dr. Patricia Ananga, Dr. Philip Siaw Kissi, Dr. Stephen Opoku Oppong, Dr. Kwabena Kyere, and, Mr. Daniel Danso Essel. They immersed themselves in an intensive mentorship programme to glean insights, strategies, and technologies that could reshape the educational landscape back home in Ghana.
Throughout their visit, the Digital Champions delved into the intricacies of learning management systems, e-course development metrics, open educational resources, and cutting-edge assessment techniques.
The UEW team actively engaged with faculty members at Tampere and Tallinn Universities, gathering expertise on creating interactive learning resources, harnessing learning analytics, fostering online interaction, and even utilising virtual reality environments to enhance education.
Armed with this wealth of knowledge, UEW's Digital Champions are poised to enact real change. Their mandate now extends beyond their enrichment; to disseminating their newfound insights through a series of seminars and workshops. By sharing their experiences and skills, they would catalyse a digital revolution within UEW and beyond.
Prof. Ghansah expressed his optimism, stating, "The GOT Mobility Project marks a pivotal moment in UEW's journey towards digital excellence. With our Digital Champions at the helm, we are primed to transform education, not just for today's learners, but for generations to come."
As UEW sets its sights on the future, the echoes of this pioneering endeavour are sure to resonate far and wide, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of education in Ghana and beyond. The return of these champions heralds a new dawn in education, where innovation and collaboration converge to shape the leaders of tomorrow.
