Globe, DLS-CSB prepare for the future of learning
As an advocate for technology use in Philippine education, Globe Telecom joined hands with the De La SalleCollege of Saint Benilde (DLSCSB) in launching a research grant for digital learning to prepare the country for the future of learning.
To seal the partnership, a memorandum of agreement was signed between the two parties led by Michelle Tapia, head of strategy, innovation, and transformation of Globe myBusiness, and Br. Dennis Magbanua FSC, DLS-CSB president.
Under the MoA, research grants will be used to fund two academic researches to be conducted by full-time DLSCSB faculty who are screened after a rigorous selection process to promote further research in the field of digital learning.
The available technology will be used in order to effectively enhance one’s learning experience without replacing traditional methods.
“Globe has always been committed to providing educational institutions with technology-driven solutions meant to promote higher quality teaching and learning. Through the grant, we are looking forward to introducing new innovations that would help schools keep up with the rapidly changing arena of digital and information technology,” Tapia saidd.
Globe understands the changing landscape in education as well as its inherent challenges and opportunities.
Students now have shorter attention spans, know how to operate devices with little to no coaching, and have direct access to information, whether it is validated or not, on the internet.
The advances in technology have shaped the way people learn in significant ways.
