FEU TECH ¡CARE

From online struggles to classroom success, the power of personalized learning

- 

Studying Civil Engineering at the height of the pandemic, FEU TECH student Gilbert Vinarao struggled with his calculus subjects. Upon transitioning back to face-to-face learning, he had to take a diagnostic exam to gauge his mastery of derivatives and integrals.

This is a universal story for all college students who abruptly shifted to online learning. Like Gilbert, other FEU TECH students faced challenges in grasping complex lessons while studying behind computer screens.

“Nung first time ko bumalik sa faceto-face setup, nag-announce na magkakaroon ng diagnostic exam (DE). Alam ko sa sarili ko na ‘di sapat ang kaalaman ko sa Calculus 1 and 2, at kailangan kong baguhin study habits ko para sa second take ng DE,” he explains.

Luckily, FEU TECH has iCARE, a progressive solution that focuses on students’ well-being, including academic and mental health concerns that would otherwise be unaddressed and dismissed in more traditional learning environments.

Learning in different ways

Not all students learn the same way.

FEU TECH’s iCARE understands this and offers innovative learning approaches, study environments, and support ecosystems with online and incampus operations.

Firstly, iCARE provides on-demand specialized training for academically challenged students. This can take the form of early intervention before major exams and additional learning materials that break down course subjects into easier-to-digest concepts.
