A flexible and engaging education model, Informatics leverages digital education tools, web-based trainings, online and offline learning management systems, use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and remote and simulated practice labs to provide meaningful learning leading to practical knowledge, skills and abilities among our students. It uses instructional materials that include but are not limited to games, apps, video, audio, and other digital media. This allows Informatics to offer a stress-free, more in-depth learning experience that enhances student engagement and satisfaction.

Also known generically as personalized-learning, flexible learning and blended learning, Informatics enables students to learn at their own pace, anywhere, and anytime, according to their convenience.

While blended learning typically involves a mix of online and face-to-face instructional strategies, online learning typically does not involve any face-to-face instructional strategies.

With Informatics, the following modalities are available: full online with synchronous and asynchronous classes, face-to-face, blended learning, and self-paced full online modality.

1. Full online classes - delivered full online without any face-to-face learning classes. These are done synchronously and asynchronously with fixed schedules for both.
2. Face-to-face or in-person classes - held particularly for subject areas with topics that require immediate demonstration after conceptual discussions.
3. Blended learning - a combination of self-paced online learning and in-person classroom sessions.
4. Self-paced full online modality - for approved petitioned subjects and Professional Electives where students take their subjects full online without face-to-face sessions, study at their own pace with scheduled consultation sessions with a Mentor.

During full online learning, students are actively involved in knowledge acquisition and construction of their own learning. Students are given login credentials to a digital resource which they can access to study anytime and anywhere, according to their convenience. On the other hand, during in-person classroom sessions, students are expected to share insights and clarifications about the concepts learned during the online learning session.

Yes. The recorded sessions will be uploaded to ION, Informatics's Learning Management System, which will form part of the subject courseware and may be accessed by students for future reference and review. These recorded sessions will also benefit those who missed the session.

All learning materials will be in digital form. Most are proprietary contents developed by international subject experts. However, there are also materials which are developed by Informatics professional teachers. They will also be uploaded in ION as part of the courseware.

When you enroll, you will be assigned subjects based on your curriculum and academic pre- and co-requisites. Learning modalities are dictated by the subject category. Please, refer to question no. 3.

For in-person and synchronous classes, the maximum class size is 40.

• ✅ 61% of students have taken at least one online course (Dahlstrom et al., 2015)
• ✅ 57% of online degree students also visit their physical campus (Best Colleges, 2020)
• ✅ 65% of faculty worldwide supports open educational sources (Dahlstrom et al., 2015)

The combination of conventional and modern learning methods using digital platforms makes blended learning the ideal delivery mode for the post-pandemic era. (University of the Philippines Memorandum, 2022)

Studies show that blended learning improves student engagement, allows self-paced learning, and enhances confidence through teacher and peer interaction.

So, yes, it is effective!

What sets Informatics apart from the rest is the use of time-tested, technology-proven, award winning learning management tools and digital learning platforms. Aside from that, the design of the program is geared toward students acquiring 21st century skills through authentic, project-based learning.
