PH’s 1st hybrid classroom, which is located at the Mabalacat City College, was introduced on August 17, 2022.
In partnership with Huawei Philippines ICT, PH’s 1st hybrid classrooms, are provided with “high-flex learning” terms equally for local and online learners to learn and at the same time strengthen their academic experiences.
One of the prominent features includes digital content sharing where students share and distribute PowerPoint presentations and copy lectures using smartphones and tablets through QR codes.
Additionally, Camcorders are also set up to detect human behavioral algorithms and are prepared with monitors, boards, microphones soundproof walls, and interactive screens.
As Mabalacat City College proceeds to advance towards innovativeness and technological development in education, MCC President Michelle Aguilar-Ong stated that MCC students could continue to be competitive in learning as the smart classrooms are intended cored on traditional classrooms and online classes.
“This is an important part of our history as we are now looking into the future of education not only in the Philippines but also around the world. Libre and I shared a lot of meaningful exchanges on local colleges and how we can transform ourselves to be globally responsive.” Ong stated.
According to Dr. Jo Libre, the Commission on Higher Education commissioner, the hybrid classroom will be an advantage in reorganizing the traditional learning experience and educational landscape in the Philippines as it will strengthen the integrated learnings of the college students of MCC.
“It is our pride that MCC is reshaping the educational landscape of our country. One of my views is to strengthen our higher education system and work towards more opportunities for our young local children to compete with pride and joy,” Libre informed.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony is part of the commemoration of the MCC’s 2022 ASEAN Month (The Association of Southeast Asian Nations).
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was attended by MCC president Michelle Aguilar-Ong, Commission on Higher Education Commissioner Dr. Jo Libre, CHED-Unified Financial Assistance System for Tertiary Education Act (UniFAST) Executive Director Atty.
