[PHILIPPINES] 2022 Adaptive Design for Learning (ADL) Online Course

Greetings from the United Board!

 

We are pleased to inform you that the United Board for Christian Higher Education in Asia (United Board) is offering a faculty development opportunity through the Adaptive Design for Learning (ADL), a professional certificate course of the Ateneo de Manila Institute for the Science and Art of Learning and Teaching (SALT Institute). The 2022 ADL for United Board related institutions will run from 4 July through 30 September 2022.

ADL aligns with the philosophy of Whole Person Education, as shown in its concern for students’ total development, active learning and full engagement. The course includes six asynchronous modules and six synchronous webinars. In view of the shift to hybrid/hyflex teaching at some institutions, this year’s ADL will include certain strategies in such a setting.

A certificate of completion will be awarded to participants who shall have: (a) submitted all six assignments, including an action plan; and (b) posted at least 3 of 5 module exit tickets. After completion, course takers are expected to submit reflections and action plans to the United Board.

The United Board will cover the ADL course fee for the selected applicants. Selection will be based on the need and purpose of educators and their institutions and the quality of the application.

Online registration is now open at https://forms.gle/A5LEDFxeTAQRMb9y8 (ugm.id/ADL2022) with the deadline on 31 May, 2022 (Tuesday). Shortlisted applicants may be invited for an interview in June. Announcement of application results will be made by the end of June 2022.

If you have questions of clarification regarding the program or eligibility of your institution, please contact ccheung@unitedboard.org and/or Dr. Hope Antone, Director of Faculty Development at hantone@unitedboard.org.
