    Biomodd: Exploring Relationships Between Biological, Electronic, And Social Systems Through New Media Art
    ( 2014-11-17) Maranan, Diego S. ; Librero, Al Francis D.
    Biomodd is a collaborative new media art project that explores the symbiosis between biological, electronic, and social systems. The project started in 2007 in the United States, and has since spawned multiple versions globally. The Philippine team was led by educators from the UP Open University, who organized a course on new media art practice as a springboard for exploring and developing the project. We discuss the imaginative and abstract relationships between biological, eletronic, and social systems that learners articulated over the course of the project. We describe how local, culturally-specific narrative elements were imaginatively integrated into the physical and interactive design of the installation, resulting in a technically complex, visually poetic expression of the relationship between nature, technology, and humans.

    Developing and Evaluating a Website as an OER for Faculty Development
    (International Journal of Open and Distance eLearning, 2020) Figueroa, Roberto B ; Fajardo, Jennifer ; Jung, Insung ; Tan, Siaw Eng
    Abstract Faculty development (FD) is an important activity that helps faculty members of an academic institution to provide quality education to students while fulfilling the institution’s missions and improving faculty members’ capacity to teach. With sustainability and scalability in mind, several institutions often use web media to distribute training materials for FD. This paper describes the design and development of a web-based FD program at the International Christian University (ICU), Japan during the fall of 2017. It also presents a thematic analysis of the initial feedback from the first batch of users and external reviewers. Furthermore, it reports a rough measure of the usability and usefulness of the website as an Open Educational Resource (OER).
