Globe prepares Top Achievers Private School Inc. for the new normal of digital learning

With regular face-to-face classroom education out of the picture due to COVID-19, flexible learning set-ups, and alternative modes of learning delivery have been implemented by the Philippine government as a means to continue schooling. In line with this, the partnership between Globe and Top Achievers Private School Inc. (TAPS) aims to promote and provide a digital learning platform that will be accessible to students, parents, and teachers.

The institution secured the Brightspace Learning Management System (LMS), which automates school processes such as the delivery of training courses or educational programs, tracking, reporting, and grading. In addition, the system will help teachers monitor and evaluate student’s performance while continuing education at home. Both teachers and parents also have immediate access to content and materials.
