Introduction• College established;
– first as Dept of Agriculture in 1948, elevated to Faculty and later to College in 2004
– Currently 70 Lecturers and Researchers
![Page 3: A Rapid Survey on e- learning/web-based Teaching Potential at the College of Agriculture, University of Ghana, Legon SGK Adiku Dept. of Soil Science, University.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032611/56649e885503460f94b8c7ea/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Issues/Problems• 1. Students enrolment has increased drastically in recent years
– 1979: 100 students, 60 Lecturers– 2011: 1000 students (900 undergraduate+ 100 post
graduate), 80 Lecturers
• 2. Physical space has not expanded significantly.
• 3. Face-to-face teaching only 30% effective
• Explore alternative ways of teaching and learning (e.g. e-learning)

Conclusion• Lecturers and students in the College of Agriculture and Consumer Sciences are
willing to welcome the e-learning/web-based learning and teaching.
• However, there are a number of challenges that must be overcome for a successful introduction of e-learning/web-based teaching into the College of Agriculture. These include:
– Need for improved computer infrastructure/hardware accessibility– – Need for a scheme to support computer ownership by students and Lecturers
– Need for expansion of wireless internet access
– Need for education and training in e-learning and web-based teaching and learning
– Policy framework, prevention of copyright breaches.

Conclusion cont’d
• Need to cost and seek funding to support migration to e-learning,
• Need for a pilot project to study the introduction of e-learning/web-based teaching.
