The Course is for lecturers and all other instructors in institutions of higher education.
Professor Linus Abraham, Rector of Nafti, said the educational field had become very competitive with several other inlets of knowledge.
He said students in present times, through access to facilities such as the internet and other mediums of mass communication, are different from those of earlier years.
"It is therefore important to be well equipped as lecturers and instructors, in order to be on top of your job and also prove your relevance in the present age."
Prof Abraham said knowledge of the course was now a requirement for lecturers of NAFTI, adding that new lecturers would be required to go through the course.
Dr Kwame Asante, director of the Institute for Educational Development and extension, said recent developments in institutions of higher education such as lecturers having to handle much larger student populations, and the increase in the number of non-traditional students enrolling such as mature students, among others, made it a lot more challenging to teach students of higher education.
He said the course was meant to help contain the challenges of such developments.
