LEARNING MODALITY & PLATFORM
USI- GRADUATE SCHOOL will maximize the use of FLEXIBLE LEARNING MODALITIES consisting of two (2) arrangements designed to adapt to the ongoing COVID-19 public health measures which include:
- ONLINE LEARNING DELIVERY (OLD). This 1st Semester, SY 2021-22, the Graduate School opt to maximize the use of ONLINE LEARNING DELIVERY, utilizing mainly the GOOGLE SUITE (Google Classroom, Google Meet, Gmail, Google Drive storage, Google Calendar etc.). In this respect, both faculty and students will be given an individual ‘google account’ by the office of the MIS Director to access the google platform. On one hand, in anticipation of a worst-case scenario, as an alternative for those who have weak and/or do not have an internet connection at all, a self-instructional module will be provided to graduate students by their respective faculty.
- HYBRID LEARNING DELIVERY (HLD). The Graduate School will make best use of the HYBRID LEARNING DELIVERY by 2nd Semester, SY 2021-22. In this regard, we intend to slowly and cautiously return to on-campus learning which necessitates physical classes, and yet, will be undertaken using ‘upturned-classroom engagement’ which requires a face-to face learning knock-up/session at least twice a month. However, this academic design of HLD may still change as we take notice of the updates and changes in the guidelines being issued by the CHED, IATF, and DOH.
As we transition back into our ‘normal’ academic routines, despite the pandemic, the USI-Graduate School will do its best to make this school year’s learning engagement for you a truly practicable yet meaningful one which is characterized by Vincentian Excellence.
