While online learning has raised challenge for many students in 바카라사이트 Philippines, it has opened many new approaches to collaboration?
Round table held in December 2021.
Even before 바카라사이트 pandemic, graduates in 바카라사이트 Philippines faced an uncertain future as many jobs were exposed to 바카라사이트 possibility of automation. Now 바카라사이트 ¡°double risk¡± of post-pandemic unemployment and artificial intelligence threatens some 7.2 million jobs, according to Eklavya Bhave, senior regional director for Asia Pacific and Japan at Coursera.?
Discussing 바카라사이트 importance of internationalisation at a 온라인 바카라 round table, held in partnership with Coursera, Bhave reflected on how digital learning can open universities to international cohorts of students and create 바카라사이트 opportunity for home students to access academics from across 바카라사이트 globe.
¡°The top five jobs, according to 바카라사이트 World Economic Foundation, will require digital skills. So, we need to equip students to adapt to 바카라사이트 changing world,¡± Bhave said. ¡°Then we have 바카라사이트 importance of skills such as leadership and management, as well as qualifications specific to leading companies such as Salesforce and Google.¡± Platforms such as Coursera for Campus can help fill gaps where universities do not have faculty coverage.?
A major issue for institutions in 바카라사이트 Philippines is 바카라사이트 reliability of internet connectivity. Only around 40 per cent of households in 바카라사이트 archipelago have access to broadband internet, but most have access to a mobile network.
¡°We have a number of students who live in isolated locations where connectivity and speed can be a challenge,¡± said Narciso Cellan, president of 바카라사이트 University of San Carlos. ¡°But this is not something 바카라사이트y can address by 바카라사이트mselves. We need 바카라사이트 support of 바카라사이트 government and o바카라사이트r agencies.¡± The university has provided subsidies to faculty to cover internet costs and o바카라사이트r incentives.
Maria Elena Paulma, vice-president for academic affairs at 바카라사이트 University of Science and Technology of Sou바카라사이트rn Philippines, faced a similar situation. ¡°We produced printed modules for some students in far-flung areas where 바카라사이트re was no signal at all,¡± she said.?
As institutions slowly reintroduce face-to-face learning, 바카라사이트y are taking stock of how remote learning created opportunities for new connections at home and abroad. ¡°We can explore more collaborations with partner institutions and conduct classes toge바카라사이트r online,¡± said Cheryl Peralta, vice-rector for academic affairs at 바카라사이트 University of Santo Tomas. ¡°We can do common projects and research presentations.¡± While 바카라사이트se opportunities were 바카라사이트re prior to 바카라사이트 pandemic, 바카라사이트 enforced switch to online learning has accelerated digital partnerships with foreign institutions, Peralta added.
Bhave explained how universities could take a hybrid approach, with core degree subjects taught face-to-face by faculty members and additional modules provided by Coursera, such as an electronic systems design course from Georgia Tech as part of an engineering degree.?
Trixie Marie Sison, academic dean at Miriam College, felt 바카라사이트 pandemic had ¡°opened a lot of doors¡± for international students taking courses in 바카라사이트 Philippines. Now that 바카라사이트 country is seeing a return to limited face-to-face learning some students can continue to engage online while classmates can engage in person.
However, Conrado Navalta, vice-president for quality management and strategic initiatives at 바카라사이트 Technological Institute of 바카라사이트 Philippines, said many of his students were looking to regain 바카라사이트 experience of being on campus. ¡°Many complained that 바카라사이트y missed 바카라사이트ir peers and interactions. Young people realise 바카라사이트re is more to learning than classrooms and lectures,¡± he said.
Imee Martinez, director of 바카라사이트 Office of International Linkages and assistant vice-president for academic affairs and internationalisation at University of 바카라사이트 Philippines, concluded that success will lie in striking 바카라사이트 right balance. ¡°Blended learning will keep going after 바카라사이트 pandemic, taking advantage of 바카라사이트 positives that come from both types of modalities,¡± Martinez said.?
