Capstone assignment title: Successes and Challenges in using Technology for Doctorate Supervision: The case of Distance and Part-time Candidates in University of Mines and Technology, Tarkwa
Capstone assignment abstract: The doctorate is an advanced academic degree which is usually executed within a period of three (3) to five (5) years in many jurisdictions. To obtain a doctorate, the candidate is normally required to conduct original research under supervision of senior academics. The status of a doctoral candidate can either be fulltime, part-time or distance. By design, Distance and Part-time doctoral models come with diverse challenges. There exist a variety of modern technologies which could support online learning in the context of doctoral studies. Though such technologies are usually designed to meet specific functions of the learning model, certain challenges could arise as a result of their use. Such problems could be technical or socio-emotional. This study is poised to identify specific technological challenges faced by PhD candidates and their supervisors in the university of Mines and Technology (UMaT), Tarkwa, Ghana. UMaT is a relatively young university with a well-designed Postgraduate Programme in Mining Engineering, Minerals Engineering, Geological Engineering, Geomatics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Mathematics.
