eLearning CybeLab Project stands at NIPSC
The Northern Iloilo Polytechnic State College (NIPSC) eLearning CybeLab Project is one of the flagship projects of the NIPSC ICT Center expectedly to be operational 2nd Semester 2008-2009. It was originally conceptualized as an IGP initiative by:
* providing fast and readily available Internet access to the clienteles;
* catering to local, regional and national training-workshops; and
* providing other services such as out-sourced data encoding, call center, among others, where ICT is a requirement.
The project is being funded by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) with an initial budget of P3,500,000.00. Of this budget, an initial amount of PhP 1,000,000.00 is for the construction of the building and additional funding is needed for its completion.
The amount of P2,500,000.00 was allocated for the procurement of the ICT equipment and peripherals. As of today, the 1st phase of the eLearning CyberLab building is under construction at the NIPSC Main Campus, Estancia, Iloilo.

NIPSC delivers internet to public schools
Having formed a partnership with the Commission on Information and Communications Technology (CICT) on July 2007 to implement the 2nd Phase of the Internet in Schools (iSchools) Project. http://cict.bluwiki.com/, Northern Iloilo Polytechnic State College (NIPSC) in Estancia, Iloilo, qualified seven public high schools from the fourth and fifth districts of Iloilo against the CICT standards.
The project aims to bridge the digital divide among public high schools (PHS) by encouraging teachers to integrate ICT into the teaching and learning processes.
The recipient PHS received 21 computer units, 2 units airconditioning systems, 1 unit multimedia projector, 1 unit 3-in1 printer and 1 unit router. Aside from the hardware provision, a 1-year free Internet connectivity was included in the package and 4 all-expense paid teachers’ trainings were integrated for the human capability building.
For NIPSC to become fully ready in carrying out its role, the NIPSC iSchools Project Team was organized and the CICT has transferred a project fund of P 1.2 million to NIPSC to ensure its successful implementation.
“The learning experiences we gained from all of the activities related to the project taught us to become better implementers of future ICT initiatives,” said Prof. Felicisico V. Wenceslao Jr., Project Manager, NIPSC iSchools Project.

Age does not matter in learning how to get online
Living in this fast-paced life, a person hopes to catch up with the latest trend in the community. And the latest? Internet in public high schools.
It is indeed a glee to behold that Northern Iloilo Polytechnic State College (NIPSC) http://www.nipsc.com/ in Estancia, Iloilo became a partner of the Commission on Information and Communications Technology (CICT) in bringing this latest technology to the public high schools in the northern most part of the province of Iloilo.
Nestled in the shoreline of the town, NIPSC has a Laboratory High School (LHS) with almost 300 students. As one of the 320 public high school recipients in the country, it received 20 computer units together with the rest of the CICT package this year. These were installed on March 2008 at the classroom-turned-into-a-computer-room located at the NIPSC West Campus in the same municipality where the NIPSC LHS is located.
On April 2008, a five-day-training to almost 20 faculty and staff members of the NIPSC LHS was conducted by the NIPSC iSchools Project Team. Some of the trainees were in their 30s and 40s, yet some are just years away from retiring. “It is not easy to teach old dogs with new tricks,” as they say, yet the Team was able to encourage them to finish the training course.
“They were actively participating in all the activities given by asking questions. That really inspired me a lot to teach them because that showed they were interested.” said Miss Jennyrose V. Wenceslao, one of the Team trainers.
“When we were on Excel, all the groups were insisting on the correctness of their own grade computations, so I acted as referee. We all laughed when we discovered that each group has their own value for the percentage of the grade components so we just decided to have uniformity on it to end the feud. ” she added.
