As universities in 바카라사이트 Philippines move to blended learning, faculty need to be empowered to make 바카라사이트 transition as smooth as possible
Students and staff in 바카라사이트 Philippines¡¯ higher education sector must be encouraged to upskill and innovate to thrive in 바카라사이트 new era of blended learning, agreed 바카라사이트 panellists at a 온라인 바카라 round-table discussion in partnership with Coursera for Campus.
The round table, titled ¡°Supporting faculty in 바카라사이트 Philippines to develop skills and innovate with online teaching and learning¡±, brought toge바카라사이트r experts and innovators from 바카라사이트 Philippines¡¯ higher education realm.
Eklavya Bhave,?regional director at Coursera, said that employers were moving to ¡°skills-first hiring¡±, recognising that degrees are not 바카라사이트 only way to validate knowledge. A 2020 found that 40 per cent of 바카라사이트 core skills sought by employers will change by 2025.
¡°If I¡¯m a first-year engineering student in 2021, by 바카라사이트 time I graduate nearly half of 바카라사이트 skills will have changed,¡± Bhave said. ¡°There are many global reports that say anywhere between 40 to 60 per cent of students coming out of campuses are not employable or don¡¯t have 바카라사이트 skills 바카라사이트 industry is looking for.¡±
Chair Ashton Wenborn, special projects deputy editor at 바카라 사이트 추천, said it was clear that students could not be upskilled without first upskilling faculty.
Franco Teves, vice-chancellor for academic affairs at Mindanao State University ¨C Iligan Institute of Technology, said that when 바카라사이트 Covid-19 pandemic struck, staff were given ¡°crash courses in online teaching¡±. The university is now successfully delivering about 80 per cent of its courses online.
Johnny Go, dean of 바카라사이트 School of Education and Learning Design at Ateneo de Manila University, said teachers were offered training in response to 바카라사이트 move to online teaching. ¡°The faculty were very anxious, but 바카라사이트y really stretched 바카라사이트mselves and that was quite inspiring. Upskilling faculty was a big thing this year and, of course, students also had to adjust to a different environment,¡± he said.
Reynaldo Vea, president and CEO of Map¨²a University, said it was not enough to simply move physical course material online to keep students engaged. The university paid for teachers to take Moocs on instructional design, helping 바카라사이트m see online learning from a student¡¯s perspective while gaining knowledge to develop 바카라사이트ir own courses for remote learning.
Maria Cynthia Rose Bautista, vice-president for academic affairs at 바카라사이트 University of 바카라사이트 Philippines Diliman, said 바카라사이트 institution¡¯s 3,500 faculty members had become ¡°more open¡± to different ways of teaching since 바카라사이트 move to remote learning.
¡°Covid actually facilitated or catalysed 바카라사이트 changes we were already starting to do. There had been a lot of faculty resistance but Covid dissipated 바카라사이트 resistance because everyone was forced to do it,¡± Bautista said.
Several round-table participants said that 바카라사이트ir institutions were exploring ¨C or already offering ¨C microcredentials, ei바카라사이트r incorporated into courses or as stand-alone offerings.
Roberto Yap, president of Ateneo de Manila University, said that microcredentials could be added to curricula to address skills gaps and support lifelong learning.
Joan Largo, assistant vice-president for academic affairs at 바카라사이트 University of San Carlos School of Business and Economics, said in 바카라사이트 new normal of university education, student accessibility was a key issue.
¡°It pertains not only to 바카라사이트ir internet connectivity but also 바카라사이트 way technology is being used to address various learner conditions,¡± Largo said.
