NO online distance education program is perfect.

Adamson University stressed such point after encountering technical glitches right on opening day of classes.

William Bill Turnbull Jr., director of ADU Center for Innovative Learning, asked for the understanding of the studentry since everyone is new to flexible learning under the Covid19 pandemic.

“Everybody is in a state of shock caused by the pandemic, forcing academic institutions to rapidly shift from the traditional type of education,” said Turnbull in a Facebook post.

“Our university allotted tremendous effort and resources, and I can say with conviction that our Flexible Learning Program will surely deliver quality education.”

He admitted there were already technical glitches even hours before the opening of classes.

But the school official apologized to students who had been affected by the glitches.

“We humbly apologize to all our students who have been affected by the technical glitch,” said Turnbull.

He also assured the Adamson will do its best to give quality education to its students.

“Please be assured that our office will do its utmost best to respond to all those who experienced difficulties with the flexible learning and the platform that we are using,” added Turnbull.

Adamson is known for its motto ‘school for the poor’, ensuring that students will have access to education despite their status in life.

PUMALPAK  ang Adamson University sa pagbubukas ng online classes ngayong araw.

Sa unang araw pa lang ng klase ay nagkaroon na umano agad ng ‘technical issues’ ang online learning site ng unibersidad.

“We are experiencing a technical problem in the Blackboard Learn. Rest assured that we are working on it and the site will be up shortly. Sorry for the inconvenience,” pahayag ng unibersidad sa isang post.

Ang Blackboard Learn ang nangungunang kompanya sa EdTech para sa mga senior high school at kolehiyo upang mas mapadali  ang pag-access ng mga estudyante sa kanilang online classes.

Dismayado ang mga estudyante nang mabasa ang naturang post.

Sa isang comment, sinabi ni Earl Villanueva na may klase siya at hindi pa rin naaayos ang nasabing site.

“Okay na po ba ‘yung blackboard learn? May schedule po kasi ako ng class hindi ko po ma-access,” sabi niya.

Habang suhestiyon ng iba ay ipagpaliban muna ang klase at ibalik kinabukasan kapag maayos na ang website.

Nangako naman ang unibersidad  na agad itong aayusin upang magpatuloy ang online classes.

Habang isinusulat ang balitang ito ay hindi pa rin naaayos ang naturang website.
