UPOU Organizes Seminar-Workshop on Online Course Development and Facilitation

The two-day seminar-workshop aimed to introduce faculty members on the principles and approaches of online teaching and learning in the context of an open university. The training adopted a flipped-classroom approach wherein the content was delivered online via https://workspace.upou.edu.ph and the application of the concepts facilitated primarily through face-to-face workshops. The participants were taught how to develop activity, assignment, and assessment guides, modular study guides and course guides, set up a course site in Myportal, and facilitate online learning.

The training covered several sessions handled by the following resource persons: Concepts in Open, Distance, e-Learning by Assistant Professor Ana Katrina Marcial; RBL and UPOU’s Resource-based Course Package by Assistant Professor Marcial; Selecting Online Resources (use of OERs) by Assistant Professor Myra Almodiel; Designing and Learning Activities and Assessment by Assistant Professor Rita Ramos; and Preparing the Course Guide by Associate Professor Consuelo Habito; Setting up a Course Site in Myportal by Assistant Professor Reinald Adrian Pugoy; and Facilitating Online Learning by Assistant Professor Juvy Lizette Gervacio.
