This workshop focuses on designing learning experiences for individuals teaching in blended or online modalities. The discussion provides opportunities to revisit and rethink instructional strategies for potential translation or transformation to more active, collaborative, and engaging student experiences. Further, the presentation describes the challenges of interactive and collaborative activities online and shares tips and guidelines for successful implementation. Finally, the workshop addresses the benefits of designing for student engagement beyond the face-to-face format.

Celebrating 109 years of Library Science Education in the PhilippinesDuring the 100th meeting on March 18, 1914, the UP Board of Regent "unanimously approved the establishment in the University of a special course of study for library training and the appointment of Dr. James A. Robertson as lecturer in Library Science". This would lead to the first Library Science class in Southeast Asia meeting on July 13, 1914 at the Filipiniana Division of the Philippine Library, with ten enrolled students.Today, UP SLIS continues the legacy of Dr. James A. Robertson, Ms. Mary Polk, Ms. Syrena McKee, Ms. Blanche Shelp, Mrs. Emma O. Elmer, and the other pioneers of library education in the region as we push the boundaries of information science and library practice.
