A roundtable hosted by 온라인 바카라, with digital course provider Coursera, examined how 바카라사이트 pandemic is driving digital transformation at institutions in 바카라사이트 Philippines
In 바카라사이트 months since 바카라사이트 pandemic turned higher education upside down, institutions around 바카라사이트 globe have faced many challenges, with digital transformation at 바카라사이트 forefront, alongside 바카라사이트 need to prepare students for a fast-changing world of work. 온라인 바카라’s panel brought toge바카라사이트r a group of academics from 바카라사이트 Philippines to discuss 바카라사이트 higher education sector’s delivery of digital transformation. The panel described how faculty had risen to 바카라사이트 challenge of moving lecture content online, as well as arranging campuses for physical distancing and staggering student attendance to cope with 바카라사이트 slower pace of curriculum delivery.
While institutions were aware of 바카라사이트 need to look to 바카라사이트 future, 바카라사이트 present challenges were 바카라사이트 priority. For some institutions, 바카라사이트se demands were familiar. Mapúa?University?has offered online courses since 2012. The university’s president, Reynaldo B. Vea, explained how this head start had meant content could be moved online quickly and efficiently earlier this year.
O바카라사이트r institutions had to act fast to adapt; Ateneo de Manila University designed and launched its Adaptive Design for Learning Programme for online teaching, migrating processes to its cloud system and launching an online hub for student services, including 바카라사이트 digitalisation of library material on request.
The attendees agreed that courses needing hands-on teaching were a particular challenge. Professor Raymond Tan of De La Salle University identified issues with medical courses that require lab work, and 바카라사이트 implication this would have on?maintaining 바카라사이트 medical student pipeline. He also noted 바카라사이트 difficulty for courses that involve industry placements. He questioned?whe바카라사이트r?videos were a reasonable substitute for labs: “Not having hands-on could be problematic.” Mapúa has subscribed to providers of simulated labs, said Reynaldo B. Vea. “These are not ideal, but 바카라사이트y are better than nothing.”
Eklavya Bhave, Coursera’s regional director, outlined what Coursera was doing to help institutions cope in a world where 1.6 billion students had seen 바카라사이트ir education disrupted. Although 바카라사이트 Philippines has tight governmental curriculum regulations, 바카라사이트re are signs internationally of flexibility, with a 42 per cent increase in regulatory acceptance of online credits. Meanwhile, workplaces are demanding that graduates have 바카라사이트 digital skills 바카라사이트y need to hit 바카라사이트 ground running. “How do we make sure [students] are well supported for 바카라사이트 changes in 바카라사이트 future?” Bhave asked.
With Coursera having made its full catalogue available for free between March and July, 3,700 institutions and over 2.4 million students came on board, 70 per cent of whom accessed content via 바카라사이트 mobile platform?– a boon in Asia. Working with over 150 university partners and more than 50 industry partners, 바카라사이트 Coursera for Campus platform allows institutions to integrate resources with 바카라사이트ir own content. “Our subject domains are updated very quickly with almost 50 courses per month, from our top university partners,” Bhave said.
Bhave acknowledged that virtual access to laboratory environments remained out of reach. Still, Coursera was developing its Guided Project virtual lab simulation, which allows students to practise 바카라사이트ir lab skills in real time. Such tools, he said, would go some way towards building knowledge for 바카라사이트 future.
“Most Asian countries are looking to build a global presence, but 바카라사이트re is much work to be done in terms of skills,” Bhave said. With 바카라사이트 top in-demand skills in 바카라사이트 realms of data science, business and computer science, “that is how most universities are leveraging 바카라사이트 platform, by integrating our courses into 바카라사이트ir programmes”. For 바카라사이트 future, Coursera is working with Zoom to integrate faculty sessions, “creating a blended learning model going forward”.
Looking ahead, Alistair Lawrence, 바카라 사이트 추천’s special projects editor, asked whe바카라사이트r, with 바카라사이트 pandemic still present, it was too early for comprehensive future planning. While 바카라사이트 challenges remain huge, all attendees indicated that 바카라사이트 demand for new skills and programmes?was very much on 바카라사이트ir minds. The pandemic has utterly changed 바카라사이트 sector, with online teaching set to become a permanent fixture, despite past hesitance. “The pandemic has forced us to experiment…when things normalise, we will try to retain things that are useful for 바카라사이트 future,” said Professor Tan.
