The wave of the future in the Philippines - NEMAH HERMOSA, Manila Bulletin
The development of what has come to be known as the "knowledge society" has resulted in an increasing demand for continuing education, both formal and nonformal. Access to information and the ability to transform it into useful knowledge is key to social and economic development. Lifelong learning has become the new policy imperative for many countries, including the Philippines. The growing demand for continuing education from various sectors (government, individuals, their employers, and future employers), and the need for higher education institutions (HEIs) to rely less on public funding and generate their own income, have led HEIs to adopt new modes of educational delivery. These new modes include traditional print-based distance education as well as technology-supported distributed learning, also known as online learning or E-learning.
