However, the Baguio Kapihan has been re-scheduled due to unavoidable circumstances.

We would like to see more activities with fellow members outside of Metro Manila. Why not email send us an email to talk about possibilities?

Or if your institution or school would like to have an e-Learning Forum, we would be happy to collaborate with you.

In the meantime, keep e-Learning!

The PeLS Kapihan was introduced last August 2007 to establish and strengthen networks and linkages among e-Learning practitioners and institutions over a cup of coffee. It also aims to encourage PeLS members to share their best practices to other members of the Society in a full and open discussion on eLearning topics of mutual interest.

On May of 2009, the PeLS Kapihan goes to the Bicol in order to reach out to its members and to commence with the planned establishment of PeLS regional chapters. This month’s kapihan will again feature the Board of Trustees as they share their expertise to the current and upcoming regional members in order to further build a community of eLearning practitioners in the Philippines.
