Having established itself as the leading e-learning
solutions and services provider in the Philippines, Marshall Cavendish Online’s
(MC Online’s) strong reputation was further strengthened with newly found
support and praise from the Association of Chinese-Filipino Schools in the
Philippines – the most well-known association in the country with a membership of 120
schools.
The dramatic success MC Online’s digital solutions have been
in local Filipino schools has garnered the interest of eminent school leaders
of Chinese schools in the Philippines. For the first time ever, 16 sprightly
directors, supervisors, principals, presidents and vice presidents from schools
that are members of the aforementioned association headed down to MC Online’s
office at Times Centre for a professional development workshop on 13th April 2013 to learn about the integration of Infocomm Technology (ICT) into Singapore’s educational
structure and system.
With MC Online’s premier digital solutions already
empowering over 150 schools in the Philippines, MC Online’s office was the best
place for the educators to understand how learning has evolved in today’s
digital era, and how MC Online’s e-learning services accommodate the changing
landscape of education.
In the spirit of continuous learning, school leaders were rapt with attention during the workshop and took notes diligently |

educational infrastructure with a focus on the integration of ICT into
curriculum. Speaking about the need for a digital approach to pedagogy, Mr
Jasmond Ng, MC Online’s Assistant General Manager of Sales and Marketing, highlighted
the role MC Online plays in meeting the educational needs of schools with its fun
and innovative online learning solutions. He also illustrated several pertinent
examples of how MC Online’s multimedia curriculum effectively engaged students
and enriched their learning processes.
Participants were extremely interested in the examples of
e-learning in schools he brought up, and were brimming with curiosity about MC
Online’s Learning Portal’s capabilities. They were particularly impressed with MC Online’s Chinese
language e-learning content and were excited to try it out for themselves.
