The University of Dakar launches two digital platforms

"The Computer and Internet Certificate (C2i) is a program that aims to harmonize the training courses we have been offering for a few years and which concern the basic notions of computer science, the use of word processing tools, calculation and presentation as PowerPoint. It allows learners to know the rules of good digital use, how to do research on the Internet, how to use online collaboration and sharing tools, "said Modou Fall, the coordinator of C2i.

was speaking at the ceremony of upgrading the staff of the IT Department and computer scientists University Cheikh Anta Diop Dakar (UCAD). The aim was to enable them to better disseminate these new tools in the faculties, schools and institutes of the first university in Senegal.

million. Fall said that reflections are being made to know "how to support users with advanced computer skills and those with only basic knowledge."

In this regard, he informed that Training workshop will be organized next December for Teaching and Research Staff (PER) and Administrative and Service Staff (PATS). Another is scheduled for January for students. "

For the second platform, the Computer and Information Systems Department (DISI) of UCAD, in its strategy of dematerialization of procedures has set up a digital working environment (ENT). [19659002] In the opinion of Erick Fargeas, Coordinator of UCAD's Infrastructure and Information Systems and Management Department, UCAD "is nothing more than a platform that federates all the services provided by the University Cheikh Anta Diop to his community. "

The relevance of this dematerialization tool is mainly justified by the overpopulation of UCAD, which currently numbers 80,000 students.

"UCAD is a juggernaut in terms of welcoming students. The combined staff of the Teaching and Research Staff and the Administrative and Service Staff is only 3,000. 1 teacher and 1 Pats supervise an average of 53 students, "said Mr. Fargeas.

By way of example, Erick Fargeas asserted that the digital working environment (ENT), providing each user exercising an activity at UCAD a personalized and secure access to a set of online services, will allow, among others, the "PATS" to make requests for leave or leave of absence. Students will also be able to consult their transcripts. "
