This partnership trained Ghanaian faculty in the use of instructional technology (IT) for basic education. At least 100 elementary and junior secondary schools benefited from partnership activities. A total of 16 University of Cape Coast (UCC) faculty members were certified as IT trainers, receiving trainers’ training in Windows 2000, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, Internet, e-mail, software troubleshooting, and web page design. The training took place at all seven universities within the University System of Georgia. Through a multiplier effect, these “supertrainers” trained more than 700 fellow educators.

The partners also established an undergraduate major and a postgraduate program in computer education at UCC. It established a state-of-the-art computer center, housing more than 100 computers, greatly bolstering UCC’s teaching and training capacity in IT. One of the returned graduates established his own IT training center in Ghana, targeting local middle school teachers.
