Technology has affected virtually every industry, including education. Many schools have now incorporated technology into learning through information and communication technologies (ICTs). During the COVID-19 pandemic, this study looks at how students perceive Telegram Classroom as a learning tool. A qualitative descriptive approach was used in this study, which included an online questionnaire and in-depth online interview sessions with students from the Abetifi Presbyterian College of Education. During the COVID-19 pandemic, 28 students enrolled in the TELEGRAM program for Information Technology courses for a minimum of one term. Five students were also interviewed to gain insight into their TELEGRAM experience. The findings revealed that in a COVID-19 pandemic, many factors influence students’ online learning processes, including utility, ease of use, ease of learning, and satisfaction. TELEGRAM is a great way to improve the talents, abilities, discipline and self-directed learning of students by providing them with teaching materials.

In most educational institutions, the computerized selection system (CSS) consists of a collection of different hardware and software requiring disparate supporting infrastructures and offering little in the way of integration. However, university admission is no exception, but it is organized very differently throughout the world. Thus, the goal is to determine the challenges in the use of the computerized system for admission into colleges of education affiliated with the University of Cape Coast. The methodology for the study was a descriptive design with a quantitative method. The total population for the study was 255, with a sample size of 192 admission officers, quality assurance staff, and heads of departments. The results of the study show that one of the challenges of a computerized system for admission is that the system forces some candidates initially selected to grant their place in the list to others far behind. The study’s findings discovered a negative weak association between the challenges of using a computerized system for admission and its’ efficiency.
