PODCAST: EDUC Today – Distance Education for the Uninitiated

Hi, guys! The UPOU 14th Commencement Exercises is just a few days away. I’m pretty much excited to wear my sablay and receive my AA diploma on the 8th of May.

Anyway, in case you don’t know yet, I started a new podcast show named EDUC Today. EDUC Today is a 30-minute weekly podcast that discusses and explains different educational issues affecting the teachers and students of today. From choosing your degree program to deciding whether to pursue a doctoral degree, this podcast is for everyone interested in becoming informed and educated on innovations and issues involving the academe. CLICK HERE TO LISTEN >>

In this week’s episode of EDUC Today, I talked about distance education and how it works. I also interviewed my mom, Anna Katharina G. Peña, RN, MD, MPH, about her experiences as a graduate student at the University of the Philippines Open University (UPOU), the pioneer institution in open learning and distance education in the Philippines. She received her Master of Public Health (MPH) from the University of the Philippines Open University and is now taking up the Master in Distance Education (MDE) program still at the University of the Philippines Open University.

  1. Dear JericPena,

    Hi! I’m a graduate of UPOU (Masters in Public Managament) and I’m now taking my Master in Liberal Arts in Management at Harvard University Extension School (Cambridge, MA). I’m enrolled in a course called Higher Education Management where I am completing a term paper on the delivery system of UPOU for its distance learners. I think your blog is very informative and I’d like to ask your permission to cite some of your entries in my paper, especially your observations and comments on the technologies available for you as a distance learner. Also, if it is alright with you, I’d like to send you a set of questions which I’d appreciate if you can answer candidly. If there are other distance learners you can recommend to me, I’d be very glad to send them the same questionnaire. Your permission and participation in my research will surely help make my paper more in-depth.

    I hope you can send a reply soon at the email address I provided.

    Best regards,
    VeeGee
