[NEWS] ACAD-HO; Virtual Meetings in LMS are just "Orientation"

Image
Manila, Philippines It's been a week since the "New Normal" in AMAES commenced. The full-online setup was their response to make sure that learning will continue for the students amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. However, LMS issues ranging from access inability to content matters raised in just one week since the opening. Concerns are treated seriously by the management to further the development of a more effective and efficient system.  The LMS added a new feature that lets the students meet the Online Learning Coordinator (OLC) with their online classmates virtually via Zoom. Yet, some students cannot join the session because the room is always at max capacity. The OLCs in LMS cater not only local campus students, but nationwide.

[NEWS] "Full Online" kicks in. Should the students say goodbye to their teachers?

Image
Manila, Philippines The COVID-19 pandemic debilitates the economic growth of our country since the start of lockdown in affected regions, and Metro Manila is one of those deeply affected regions. Numerous employees left hanging by a thread - including our teachers. As the current pandemic continues to threaten the traditional classroom setup, the AMAES turns the blended-learning delivery (a combination of F2F and online class) to full-online delivery. The students and teachers are now wondering if they will still meet online. As the institution prepares the platform for full-online delivery, the teachers are temporarily relieved from their duties. This setup will continue until the IATF or the government allows the face to face setup. OLC's (Online Learning Coordinators) and OLA's (Online Learning Assistants) will assist students and ensure the efficiency, effectiveness, and quality of the new "full-online" delivery.  Under these circumstances, modules, materials, and
