%X T<span>he increasing quest for tertiary
education in Ghana has assumed an overwhelming magnitude in recent time,
mounting pressure on public university</span><span> management to increase enrolment. This has led to overwhelming student
population, o</span>verstretching physical learning facilities in various
departments on public university campuses. Online electronic learning system
that facilitates distance education has become a major panacea in the
universities for over<span>coming these challenges.
At Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), this system is
being pursued rigorously to avail tertiary education to many eligible students
who are unable to gain admissi</span>on through the regular enrolment scheme.
Unfortunately, faculties that run practical-based programmes in studio or
laboratory environments have the challenge of delivering practical activities
on online learning platforms to enhance effective electronic learning
implementation in their departments. The purpose of this paper is to
demonstrate to institutional web developers, a simplified strategy for
incorporating lecture notes with audio-visuals of practical and demonstrational
activities to foster online electronic learning implementation in studio or
laboratory-based institutions. The Design-Based Research concept underlined
this practice led study, in which two (2) computer application software; Adobe
Dreamweaver CS6 and TechSmith Camtasia Studio version 2018 were used to foster
practical field studies in the virtual classroom space for the Department of
Fisheries and Watershed Management in the Faculty of Renewable Natural
Resources at KNUST.
