The coming of a New Normal is inevitable that we should move ahead with high hopes, wings ready to fly, and courage to lift our spirit. CIIT would like to help and encourage our students to continue their education with the belief that pursuing their studies and passion is the best way to be responsible citizens and contributors to our nation. Our school is afforded the privilege to provide virtual education in a time where other schools might not. A blessing that we choose to value and utilize responsibly instead of squandering.
The school year will be divided into 4 quarters with a total of 9 weeks per term instead of the usual 14 weeks. Students will be allowed to enroll in a maximum of 4 subjects or 12 units. This manageable study load allows students to continue and focus on their studies while still allowing them to help with their responsibilities at home and have time with their families during the quarantine period
Classes are scheduled every Monday to Fridays from 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM.
Each subject will be limited to one-hour weekly schedules for live-streaming lectures with your Instructor. All live streaming lectures will be recorded and uploaded in Canvas (LMS) so you can watch or replay at your own time.
Length of streaming lectures are based on studies that conclude how attention and learning efficiency is best when kept within a shortened time frame.
Personalized learning and education will be made possible through CIIT’s Coaching Sessions. Students can set appointments with all their Instructors for an individual or small group coaching session where Instructors can give feedback and provide further enrichment or study material to students who have difficulty understanding important concepts or their project outputs.
Guidance and assistance on the mental and emotional conditions of our students will be an equally important focus of our well-trained Instructors.
Our Faculty are selected based on their skills in conducting and moderating online virtual classes. Faculty members have either had prior experience teaching online classes or have undergone online workshops and certificate programs allowing them to discover creative and effective ways of teaching their respective subjects in a purely online setting.
Instructors are also selected for their ability to empathize and serve as personal coaches to our students to help them navigate their academic load as well as their life challenges with hope and wisdom.
All subject materials, lectures, and presentations will be available for download and review in our LMS. Students may study at your own time and access these materials on your most preferred day.
As always, CIIT’s Academic program focuses on the output of students, and this term will be no exception. Requirements have been improved to adapt to the limitations that students are experiencing under quarantine.
CIIT will be delivering all our 170 high-spec PC units to all Students who are in need especially those enrolled in Lab Subjects. This brings the CIIT experience closer to the homes of our students.
All our students can enjoy internet connectivity by purchasing Home Prepaid Wifi Kits from CIIT. We have secured an initial 200 kits from Globe that are also partially subsidized by the CIIT Student Council making the devices even more affordable for students.
The school has implemented a significant reduction in all school fees with the aim of making our education as accessible as possible for our students.
Savings incurred from the previous term when ECQ was implemented is also refunded to our students to help ease their financial burdens.
CIIT has partnered with some of the best organizations in the world to bring quality education and technologies in the homes of each CIIT Student. All students are provided individual licenses accessible at home from your devices.
The classes will be conducted using Canvas, the cloud based learning management system (LMS) CIIT subscribes to. All class activities such as lectures, instructional materials, assessments, submissions, discussions, grading and attendance among others will be done within the LMS. Each student will have their own Canvas account through which they and their parents can access all the content and information relevant and related to their classes and school activities.
A mindset that is open to learning in a virtual setting, maximizing the tools and resources available and adapting to the new normal is necessary. Students must be able to manage their school schedules and tasks with remote supervision of their teachers. They should be able to receive and give feedback using the online tools available.
Stable broadband internet connection that is able to play live streaming videos during school hours, taking into consideration the simultaneous use of the internet by other family members.
A laptop or desktop computer which the student can use exclusively during school hours.
