THE AMA EYE

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.

Manila, Philippines The Online Orientation conducted by the AMAES last June 29 and 30 was supposed to familiarize new and old students regarding the function and features of the LMS to be used in their Full-Online Classes. The event was broadcasted nationwide. However, as the orientation for Grade 12 students started, many were surprised with the raised fees despite full-online delivery. The comment section has been showered with concerns, some asking for a petition regarding the increase in tuition fees.  In the orientation, the LMS access was demonstrated and is almost the same as the traditional LMS used in the blended-learning setup.
