THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE ICT DEPARTMENT SO FAR
The ICT Department so far has enabled the Institute to:
Have a compulsory general course titled Digital Evangelism which is designed to equip the postulants with the necessary internet and social media skills needed to spread the gospel to the internet community.
Launch our online classes necessitated by the Covid-19 Pandemic which has greatly helped us carry along our students while apart. This online study we have made to remain from now onward.
Build a digital structure of the entire Institute whereby each student has a cloud space to host his files and documents- results, transcripts, reports, etc. and same will be made available confidentially. Also, a student report box is created and will be made available to dioceses sending their candidates to our Institute for up to date report of the students’ performance in the school.
Develop an electronic attendance system both in class and during exams to properly checkmate attendance to classes using the Quick Reference Code (QR Code) Technology. The attendance report could also be made available to their dioceses on request.
Make internet connection available to all staff and students while at school and also at the students hostels and refectory to keep them hooked up to the international theological community for further research and studies.
Make the students results available online and to their individual Dioceses on request. This also generates the transcript automatically at entering the last semester's result.
Computerized the Result Management System of the College.
Developed an Online Result Checker Mobile Application for checking of results.
