Last June 27, 2020, the WUP National Webinar Series was launched to inform new normal practices and strategies for teachers and administrators from various schools across the country, especially the UMC-affiliated schools. This is the university’s response to the call of the Commission on Higher Education for bayanihan in the higher education sector during this time of pandemic.
CHED Chair J. Prospero E. De Vera III commended Wesleyan University-Philippines for heeding this call. He specifically cited the free webinar-workshop “Designing Instructional Modules for Flexible Learning” by Dr. Greg T. Pawilen, which had more than 1,700 participants from all over the Philippines and even overseas.
