Cybercrime incidents continue to plague economic development in the African region. Prior research indicates that millions of dollars are lost annually due to this menace. The prospects of Digital Forensics Investigation (DFI) as evident in developed countries provide hope for defeating cybercriminals. The paper assesses the effectiveness of legal infrastructure, technical mechanisms, the availability of capacity building programs, organisational infrastructure as well as the existence of cooperation mechanisms among relevant institutions in Ghana. The paper contends to the existence of legislation and mandated institutions. It concludes that, though the sector has recorded advancements over the years, the progress has been very slow leaving DFI still at an infant stage. Existing legislations are scattered and cumbersome whereas mandated institutions lack the requisite capacity. There is a need to streamline existing laws into a comprehensively harmonized legal framework. Furthermore, heavy investments must be deployed to boost the capacities of relevant institutions.

“…In addition, a lot of students want to know how the evidence from the computer and the network can be better to guide practice activities, such as the legal professional students interested in electronic data forensics, they can better understand and use electronic data forensics knowledge in the case. However, designing a electronic data forensics course for a variety of professional students is very difficult [10].…”

With the increasing of computer crimes, the value of computer data evidence is becoming more and more obvious. Electronic forensics has also become a new frontier discipline. Because this is a comprehensive discipline and needs to be compatible with many majors in police colleges, lots of factors that need to be considered in the construction of the course structure. The research will discuss the construction method of the curriculum system from the content of the subject and the goal of the discipline construction. It includes the reform of the knowledge system of electronic data forensics, the design of interdisciplinary comprehensive courses and the design of forensics courses for the multi pro fessional background. According to the background and demand of the subject, we design the content of the knowledge and make a fixed position of curriculum. A teaching model based on the process of ability level and ability promotion is put forward to promote the construction of the new curriculum system of electronic forensics.

“…There is a particular need for specialists who can lead computer crime investigations [10]. The students who choose to study computer forensics expect to gain deep knowledge and technical skills of computer crime, law, operating systems, examination of storage media, networking, communication protocols, and use of forensic tools.…”

In this paper, we show the development and application of a sustainable assessment strategy as an implementation of effective learning for a computer crime and digital forensics unit. The unit is undertaken by undergraduate students as part of an Information Technology Security course at Deakin University. Over a five year period the teaching team has made continuous improvements to the delivery of material and content taking informal student feedback and Faculty review into careful consideration. In addition formal student evaluation of the unit has been extremely positive. As part of reflective teaching practice the teaching team derived a map of the relationship between learning objectives, learning activities, the assessment and the unit outcomes to verify what has led to the favorable student experience and its impact on learning process in order to repeat this strategy for other tertiary courses.
