In the continued conduct of remote learning in UP Visayas, faculty members and students reflect a need to be oriented on the tools that make learning possible in the online setup.
To help newly-hired and returning faculty members as well as students adjust to the virtual learning environment, the Teaching and Learning Resource Center, in collaboration with the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and the team in-charge of the Learning Management System of UP Visayas conducted the semestral LMS Orientation on August 23, 2023.
The morning session was facilitated for the newly-hired and returning faculty members of the university wherein they were oriented on the basic functions and features of the LMS such as step-by-step processes for uploading course materials and creating activities through the LMS.
The afternoon session, on the other hand, was dedicated to the first year students where they were taught how to upload assignments, participate in quizzes, and navigate their respective course sites.
Prof. Nilo Araneta, Assistant to the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs-LMS and Associate Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences served as one of the resource speakers and provided an overview of the LMS.
Mr. Karch Malaga, a member of the University’s LMS Team, was also one of the resource speakers. In his demonstration of the LMS, Mr. Malaga taught the participants how to utilize the LMS to fit their needs, whether they are faculty members in charge of the course site or students using the LMS to participate in the course.
The OVCAA and the LMS Team serve as partners of the UPV TLRC with programs related to the Learning Management System since it was created in the year 2020 following the COVID-19 pandemic and transition to remote learning.
