UPOU Holds Strat Planning Workshop

To sharpen the strategies and enhance UPOU's capacity to lead in open and distance learning (ODL)  in the Asian region, the university held a strategic planning workshop on 25 September 2008 at the UPOU AVRoom in Los Banos, Laguna, participated in by the administrative officials and full-time faculty members of the university.

Dr. Grace J. Alfonso,  UPOU Chancellor, led participants in discussing new strategic plans that  will enhance the university's capacity to maximize and fully tap its resources and capabilities, as well as to
ensure their alignment with the new directives that UPOU will implement. The workshop comes at an officious time when the UPOU is now about to embark and enter the fifth generation of ODL, which the
Chancellor succinctly described as the stage of "helping build global communities."  This is also the stage, she said, wherein "ODL will be heading to new directions and be facing new challenges."

Dr. Cynthia Rose Bautista, a full-time professor of the College of Social Sciences and Philosophy in UP Diliman, facilitated the workshop. (Luisa A. Gelisan)
