Silliman University, as a leading Christian institution committed to total human development for the well-being of society and the environment, unceasingly utilizes mySOUL, the constant partner to Silliman University’s technology-enhanced flexible learning, starting 2nd semester, SY 2022-2023.

Technology-enhanced onsite learning will be the modality starting the second semester, SY 2022-2023. All subjects/courses must be delivered on-campus, face-to-face, and in-person with mySOUL LMS to supplement and enhance teaching and learning.

  1. Technology-enhanced onsite learning will be the modality in the post-pandemic times of Silliman University through mySOUL, the official learning management system of the University.
    • Because while the University is going back to the old normal of operations, we are not entirely abandoning blended and hybrid learning as teaching approaches.
    • Students are expected to come on campus to attend onsite classes that are supported by digital technologies.
  2. Technology-enhanced onsite learning is an in-person teaching and learning modality using mySOUL in blended or hybrid teaching approaches and strategies.
    • Blended learning combines in-person classes and interaction with supplemental online educational elements. Online learning materials aren’t intended to replace in-person, face-to-face, classroom-based class time (unlike hybrid classes). However, materials are designed to build upon what was covered in class through mySOUL LMS.
    • Hybrid classes replace a portion of traditional face-to-face instruction with online activities (such as pre-recorded lectures, online discussions, or projects). Online components can be synchronous or asynchronous. Hybrid classes shall consist of at least 50% of the total contact time for in-person and classroom-based learning where teachers and students interact physically.
  3. Laboratory classes, internships, OJT, NSTP, and PE classes shall be conducted primarily through onsite learning experiences.

TEACHING STRATEGIES FOR BLENDED AND HYBRID ONSITE LEARNING

Below is the list of teaching strategies that a teacher can utilize. A subject/course could have one or more teaching variants.

Approach 1: Blended Learning Approach 2: Hybrid Learning
Variants:
1. Conventional
2. Enriched
3. Advanced
Variants:
1. Flipped
2. with Synchronous Online
3. rotational

Silliman University supports technology-assisted flexible learning through mySOUL, the official learning management system of Silliman University. mySOUL is an all-in-one web-based software application for classroom organization, management, tracking, and monitoring. Specifically, it emphasizes technology-enhanced flexible learning that highlights flexibility in the teaching approaches and strategies, classroom and resources management, and assessment. All students are expected to come on campus and attend classes in-person. However, limited in-person or face-to-face interaction in the classroom shall be practiced.

With the current implemented flexible learning setup, mySOUL is capable of organizing offline (asynchronous) activities like assignments. Likewise, mySOUL is capable of conducting real-time (synchronous) activities like video conferencing. It is accessible at https://soul.su.edu.ph. It is capable of any form of learning modality – blended, hybrid, and hy-flex deliveries.
