In preparation for the upcoming trimester, Asia Pacific College (APC) and National University (NU) partnered with Globe Business to offer free connectivity solutions through SchoolSURF Plans, Home Prepaid WiFi kits, and Load Up to enrollees.
At no extra cost to students and their parents, the connectivity solution from Globe shall be available to all students of APC and NU. They will simply need to plug and play the Globe Home Prepaid WiFi modem supplied by the schools. APC and NU’s IT Resources teams will disburse data under the SchoolSURF plan to the prepaid SIMs installed in each device using the Globe Load Up platform.
Globe Business’ SchoolSURF data plan is designed to reduce distractions that come with remote online learning. The plan restricts access to unauthorized websites so that parents and teachers are assured that students can focus on their school activities. With SchoolSURF, users can access digital learning apps such as GSuite, Office356, Coursehero and Blackboard. They may also use virtual communication platforms such as Zoom, Facebook Messenger, Viber and Whatsapp to assist in online classes and school administration tasks.
APC and NU are part of a consortium led by SM, one of the country’s top conglomerates in retail, banking, and property. Both institutions have developed distance learning programs to enable classes to resume amid the pandemic.
The APC Home Study Program aims to create a safe and conducive learning environment that not only makes digital resources available to students, but also allows them to consult with their industry mentors online, and engage in project-based learning through virtual tools.
On the other hand, NU’s Flexible Learning Experience—also known as FLEX—focuses on blending remote asynchronous and synchronous learning, which means students will experience a mix of scheduled classes and recorded lectures that are accessible anytime and anywhere.
Globe Business continues to empower organizations, like APC and NU, and other large enterprises through quality services, innovative solutions, and digital know-how. Apart from connectivity solutions, the enterprise arm of Globe Telecom offers an expanding line of Cloud, cybersecurity, and ICT products to help businesses build resilience amid any situation.
