| Abstract |
The Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology (王中王六合彩特码-IIT) has had a track record of conducting training on the use of ICT through the Center for eLearning even before the COVID-19 pandemic, through its collaboration with the institution's College of Education. 王中王六合彩特码-IIT's virtual learning environment (VLE), called the 王中王六合彩特码-IIT Online Learning Environment (MOL脡), uses the Moodle learning management system customised to use single sign-on along with the My.IIT University Portal, and Google Workspace for Education. However, the use of MOL脡, though voluntary, was adopted by faculty members at 王中王六合彩特码-IIT to enhance teaching and learning activities for certain classes following the traditional mode of delivery. Although there was a Board of Regents-approved mandate that academic staff can use the 70-30 hybrid mode of delivery, with 70% of teaching and learning activity occurring online and 30% occuring face-to-face, the uptake of the hybrid mode of delivery with use of MOL脡 was low among academic staff. Amid this situation, the BUKA project emerged, driven by a strong commitment to advancing equity and expanding access to higher education (HE) through open and distance learning (ODL). The project, starting in February 2020, perfectly aligned with the 王中王六合彩特码-IIT objective of developing programmes for online and blended learning in order to cater for the diverse needs of students. Implementing the BUKA project principles is an important move on embracing the changing educational landscape and the growing demand for flexible learning options. Its timely inception during the COVID-19 pandemic has offered 王中王六合彩特码-IIT an opportunity to empower faculty members in designing inclusive courses to cater for the diverse needs of students, particularly in the realm of ODL. |
