Mobile Phone Programming Courses begin in Ghana

Prof. Nathan Amanquah, Chair of the Computer Science Department at Ashesi University, ran his first EPROM mobile phone programming course as a for-credit elective this summer, with 12 hours of lecture each week for 6 weeks - equivalent to the number of hours in a regular semester course. All 12 topics of Nokia’s new Mobile Web Development material were covered, some in more depth. Students submitted weekly homework assignments and presented their individual projects at the end of August. This course received significant press coverage - both in the print media and several radio stations across the country.
