She added that these technological tools are only effective as the professional who work with them adding that institutions like theirs therefore have responsibility to equip the students whilst also integrating technology into teaching and learning.
According to her, their institutions have made progress in leveraging digital tool for a technology driven health care delivery.
Madam Kporku revealed that the ICT Lab being constructed as an e-learning hub for skills development is one of the many measures being put in place to leverage on technology.
She however expressed worry over lack of internet connectivity for online learning as well as power fluctuations which she said often disrupt teaching and learning.
The NMTC Principal, therefore called on the authorities and benevolent institutions to come support them in the area of IT infrastructure in order to enhance teaching and learning in the 3 health institutions.
