Staff Diary
January, 2021
2020 had been a hard-hitting year with COVID-19 throwing devastating moments in our lives. We lived our lives in a way which no one of us will never forget
in the history of our lives.
When the country entered a total lockdown in the face of the pandemic, EWC and other higher educational institutions started a process of doing things differently.
The College geared itself to ensuring continuity in its teaching and learning activities. Teaching practice at the college radically changed following the COVID-19
pandemic from contact lessons to using digital platforms.
What was apparent was that there was a 'new normal,' with all teaching and learning activities taking place with other means of teaching students. Academic staff
had to rapidly prepare and capacitate themselves for remote teaching, which was hardly a new concept. Lecturers faced the double challenge of adapting to new
techniques and methods. It was indeed business unusual, but both lecturers and support staff were on deck, ensuring that the core function of the college,
which is educating, ran. Thank heavens, we thrived through.
Now that we are in the new year, we need to re-engineer and recreate the way we operate the core business process, with the goal of improving our teaching and
learning effectively in a way which will be befitting the changing world of today, that is moving towards digitalization. There is no better time than now where we
need to chart a vision for how education and training can emerge stronger from this global crisis and propose a path for capitalizing on education's newfound
support virtually.
At EWC, we are going to harness and take advantage of technology to help with educational continuity and deploy education technology to power up our college in
a way that meets the teaching and learning needs of students and lecturers. As part of the teaching and learning intervention, we take pride in the fact that the
college is implementing a Learning Management System that is geared to assisting students to access their lessons online. This is a great tool to use to enhance
students' learning ability in this digital era. I urge you to encourage students to make use of that web-based or online digital platform to enhance their learning
capacity.
H.E. Luccock once said, "No one can whistle a symphony. It takes an orchestra to play it." That means that teamwork works better. I therefore encourage that
we all work together for the betterment of the college. Where it is deemed necessary, please extend your help with ideas which will help the college become modest,
give advices.

Holding Statement - Fake News On WhatsApp Audio
05 April 2020
For Immediate Release
It has come to the attention of the college management that there is a WhatsApp audio that is doing
rounds informing students that a meeting was held to come up with strategies for distributing laptops
and data to all EWC students, and that students need to register their current residential addresses
onto the link provided on the WhatsApp.
The College is distancing itself from this WhatsApp audio that contains false information. We, therefore
call on all students to disregard the content of the WhatsApp audio. We also plead to all the students to
not continue forwarding such audio that contains bogus information.
Considering the gravity of this matter, the college will report this matter to the police for further
investigation.
