C&E Adaptive Learning Solutions (C&E ALS), the pioneering and dynamic integrated learning solutions provider in the Philippines, has partnered with global educational technology firm Instructure to bring its flagship Canvas Learning Management System (LMS) closer to Filipino students.
Canvas is a valued, strategic addition to the strong portfolio of various brands and types of learning solutions that C&E ALS offers in the Philippines.
John Emyl Eugenio, C&E ALS chief operations officer, said the powerful partnership between two leading learning and education companies unlocks the power of one of the most effective and innovative LMS platforms in the world for Filipino learners.
LMS came to the fore at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic as one of the most viable solutions to the limitations in physical contact and mobility brought about by lockdowns.
“It is an online-based platform where students and educators can converge, evolving the learning environment from the traditional classroom set-up into a virtual one,” Eugenio said, adding that information and educational materials can also be stored and shared efficiently and on-demand.
Even as schooling is slowly going back to the way it used to be with face-to-face classes and physical attendance, “LMS has solidified its place in the overall academic ecosystem and has proven to be a key strategy moving forward in implementing more effective learning interventions,” he shared.
For one, LMS can respond more effectively especially to the demands of today’s generation of digital natives — learners in the so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution or the digital age.
“These tech-savvy students are increasingly looking for more creative and engaging content, and LMS is able to create a compelling learning environment online that stimulates and interests them,” he noted.
According to Eugenio, educators are also recognizing the explosion of new skills in the digital age, as well as the continuous need for reskilling and upskilling. “LMS answers the need for relevant, tailor-fit, flexible and adaptive educational programs across various disciplines and areas of knowledge.”
With the variety of LMS options available in the market today, Eugenio said it is best that educators and academic institutions choose the right solution for their particular situation and context in order to optimize the benefits they can reap from this modern technological innovation for their organization and for their students.
“The partnership between C&E ALS and Instructure affords us the opportunity to now offer the world’s leading LMS, Canvas, while also providing value-added local customer service — one that is crucial for a platform that demands stability, reliability, and efficient technical support — and also complementary products from C&E ALS that institutions may seamlessly integrate with their new or existing Canvas platforms,” Eugenio further explained.
The company’s complete portfolio of educational tools and technologies in both traditional and digital spheres complement Canvas and create unbeatable, tailor-fit solutions for our clients in terms of effectiveness, efficiency and value for money, he said.
Moreover, implementation and operationalization become more efficient as well with more responsive localized service, he added.
“Adding Canvas strengthens this portfolio and enables us to continue delivering a holistic approach to learning solutions and interventions for our clients in the academia and ultimately, for their communities of students and learners,” Eugenio shared.
