Kabale University will conduct a Refresher Training for Academic Staff in University Digital Systems aimed at strengthening the effective use and adoption of key institutional digital platforms that support teaching, research, administration, and service delivery.
The training responds to gaps identified during previous capacity-building initiatives and aligns with the University’s ongoing digital transformation agenda. Sessions will be conducted in faculty-based groups to allow focused, practical, and context-specific engagement. Special emphasis is placed on supporting newly appointed academic staff while refreshing the competencies of existing staff.
Participants will receive hands-on training in the use of core university systems including AIMS, E-Learning platforms, E-Library resources, Google Scholar, and responsible use of Artificial Intelligence in academia. The programme integrates demonstrations, guided practice, and interactive discussions to ensure practical skills transfer and sustained adoption of digital workflows.
