Specifically, this paper presents the distribution and need level of the functionalities of a mobile class record application as perceived by the respondents. The r espondents are 122 teacher educators in Central Visayas, Philippines. The study utilized a survey method. The result shows that majority of the teacher educators said that they highly needed the intended functionalities. The result also indicates that all suggested features are highly needed. The result implies that classroom information management, attendance monitoring, test scores and grades calculation, a dictionary of teacher education terms, task management, address book, groups, and photos management are imperative and necessary. The study concludes that all the identified functionalities are required for the overall quality of the proposed application. There is a high degree of satisfaction of the stated needs in the proposed mobile class record.

A total of 95 HEIs in the Philippines participated in the study. The respondents are all heads in the Management of Information Technology units. The instrument used in data gathering was a self-constructed survey questionnaire based on the critical questions from EDUCAUSE. The aggregate mean for IT infrastructure was 4.06, which means it is considered 'high priority' in the Philippines HEIs surveyed. This indicates that the infrastructure component needs to be completed in the next three years in these HEIs. The degree of implementation of IT infrastructure in the HEIs shows an aggregate mean of 3.27, which corresponds to 'moderately implemented', indicating that although this component is in the strategic plan of the HEIs, little or no action has been undertaken in this regard. The level of prioritization of infrastructure has a significant correlation at 0.01 level of confidence with the degree of implementation of these components. In addition, there is a significant difference between the level of prioritization and degree of implementation of IT in the HEIs surveyed in terms of the total number of years of existence of the HEIs, annual IT expenditures of the HEIs, total Internet bandwidth of the HEIs, and extent of participation in decision-making of the respondents.

The study reveals that 22.7% HEIs have an annual IT expenditure of Php 500,000.00 to Php 1M. The fastest Internet connectivity among the HEIs is 16-20 mbps and the least bandwidth connected to the HEIs is 1 mbps. The most developed IS in the HEIs is the enrollment and grading system. A library system is considered as the most outsourced IS and the most unavailable IS in the HEIs is a hostel or dorm services system. Accounting Related System is ranked first when it comes to LAN connectivity while e-learning, alumni management system, and information and publication system are the most available Internet-connected systems in the HEIs. The increasing role and demands of IT in the development of an organization calls for an active reaction to the challenges of the information society. IT plays a significant impact in the HEIs in the Philippines; however, they are technologically challenged of keeping abreast to the latest trend and development in IT.

As a flexible learning method, most schools chose online distance learning (ODL). Consequently, the Internet is among the many tools that ensures continuity in teaching and learning. Many schools have adopted ODL using their learning management system (LMS). However, schools are challenged in attaining the expected engagement among students. Students must cope with the new learning environment wherein they are physically separated from teachers and peers. This research aims to assess the engagement of senior high school in the ODL environment. Specifically, it describes the respondent’s engagement profile, preferred learning resources and activities, and challenges faced in ODL. Student logs from the university LMS during the second semester of 2020 – 2021 were utilized for engagement profiling. On the other hand, an online survey was conducted among 424 students to gath...

Silliman University, one of the oldest universities in the Philippines, offers whole-person education to achieve total human development. This study is an innovative technology integration in the classroom of the course “whole-person education”. Specifically, this paper describes the development of a mobile game application that integrates augmented reality. Applying the gamification theory, a learning trail about the 5Cs of Silliman Education - Classroom, Church, Culture, Court, and the Community, was integrated. The learning trail consists of three learning paths, and each path consists of ten checkpoints. Three qualifying questions were embedded to determine the player’s learning path. Each checkpoint is augmented using QR codes. Players need to complete the game in the shortest possible time. The educational game mobile application was developed usi...

Due to the sudden shift to online distance learning caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, it is challenging for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to deliver quality instruction and achieved satisfaction of learning and engagement. This study was designed to appraise the correlation between apparent learning satisfaction and student nurses' learning engagement and to determine the aspects that were related to learning satisfaction and engagement in the implementation of Related Learning Experiences (RLE) of the nursing courses. This addresses many gaps in the literature regarding online distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic and provides HEIs that can lead to increased student satisfaction and engagement with online distance learning (ODL). This study was a descriptive-correlational research design. A to...

If overused and misused, it provides negative impacts among users. This paper presents the prevalence of self-promotional behaviors on Facebook among students in a university in the Philippines. A total of 106 college students were randomly selected as respondents of the study. An adapted survey questionnaire was used during analysis. The results show that the respondents promote their selves on Facebook every semester. Specifically, the result shows that the respondents update their status, post photographs of their selves and change profile pictures once a month. On the other hand, the respondents update their profile information, tag pictures of their selves and upload “selfie” pictures every semester. It is concluded that the students sometimes possess behaviors that tend to be tied to narcissism on Facebook.

With information technology integral to shaping trust in the workplace, this paper aims to determine digital trust in educational institutions. Specifically, this article presents the measurement of digital trust level in terms of hardware, software, and people in educational institutions. It also shows the relationships and differences between digital trust and the respondents' socio-demographics, employment, and technological profiles. An online survey questionnaire was utilized using the Marcial-Launer Digital Trust in the Workplace Questionnaire, with 878 responses from academic institutions analyzed. A 4-point forced Likert scale and weighted mean were used to measure the level of trust. Chi-square and one-way ANOVA were utilized to determine significant relationships and differences, respectively. A multiple regression was calculated to predict the level of digital trust on the profi...
