Digital Productivity Essentials
Digital Productivity Essentials: Tools Every Staff Member Needs is a practical, hands-on workshop that equips KNUST non-teaching staff with the core digital skills needed for confident, efficient daily work. Participants will learn to navigate KNUST's own digital tools—including Outlook email and calendar, the shared drive/SharePoint environment, and the staff intranet portal; create and format a professional Word memo and Excel tracker using University templates; and collaborate with colleagues through Microsoft Teams. The session also covers essential digital file organisation and security hygiene, including folder naming conventions, cloud backup, strong passwords, and phishing awareness. By the end of the 2-hour session, attendees will have hands-on experience across all of KNUST's core productivity tools and a clear sense of which tool to use for which administrative task, building a solid foundation for the University's shift toward paperless, cloud-based workflows. This session is designed for non-teaching staff, including departmental secretaries, administrative assistants, records officers, finance and procurement staff, and technicians, with no prior digital skills required. Participants are encouraged to bring a laptop where possible for the hands-on activities and are welcome to stay on for the immediately following "Copilot at Work" session, which builds on these skills to introduce AI-assisted productivity.
