DIWA
Learning System, a leader in the education publishing industry,
recently unveiled the Classroom in a Tablet mobile education system to
address the growing need for more efficient ways of delivering content.
Jose
Maria Policarpio, executive editor of Diwa, said the company decided to
pursue a mobile platform to enable their content to become more
relevant to the times.
“So we have put
together Genyo eLearning, eTextbooks, digital classroom magazines, and
our online portal in one mobile device to give our schools, teachers,
and students their personalized Classroom in a Tablet,” said Policarpio
in a press statement.
The
Classroom in a Tablet is Diwa’s response to the growing need for
effective ways of delivering content. With the wireless fidelity
(Wi-Fi)-ready Acer Iconia W500 tablet, teachers and students alike can
access Diwa’s extensive array of multimedia, curriculum-based resources
through touch browsing.
“We’ve
invested heavily in eLearning because as the Internet becomes more
accessible and hardware becomes inexpensive, we want to make sure that
quality content is delivered in an interesting and informative manner to
learners,” explained Policarpio.
Through
the program, Diwa is helping future-proof the current generation of
learners by combining traditional resources such as the textbook with
technology-driven educational materials.”
Genyo—the
country’s first and only Web-based e-learning management system that
contains learning objects, lesson plans, tutorials, activities and
exercises for science, math, english, Filipino and araling panlipunan—is
the core driver of the Classroom in a Tablet program.
Completing
this mobile education package are e-textbooks, digital editions of Bato
Balani and Salaguinto science classroom magazines, and the online
portal Diwa Learning Town, a virtual library for teachers and students
that hosts more lessons, teaching plans, reading materials, e-games,
supplementary educational materials and more.
Policarpio
said the Classroom in Tablet program is a leading-edge solution because
it merges both traditional and new media in one portable PC tablet that
can be carried in any place.
