My Online Learning Journey



Learning and training are two essential things that make up my passion. Yes, my passion is training people for developmental courses and the other one is learning on my own to fill my lid to be able to give more. I’ve always believed that:

Learning is a continuous journey.
Learning is fun.
Learning can be in any forms especially in this day and age.
Last January, I enrolled at UP Online University – Massive Open Distance e-Learning (MODeL). I’ve heard UPOU way back years ago from an acquaintance but I did not enroll.

But last January, it was a different story.

I heard it from my client/trainee when she mentioned that they were offering free certificate courses. I immediately got interested and signed up for it.

Thank you, Ms. Gisela for letting me know. Much appreciated!

It really piqued my interest and immediately signed up for “Introduction to ODeL” and went through the process.

I chose this because I am in the field of virtual training and I knew in my heart that this would greatly helped me out. I am now in my fourth learning course and I am definitely enjoying the process. It is challenging at times in terms of time and learning tasks but I just think that this will contribute to my own learning and development. Moreover, I know that this will soon be applied in my role.

So, a few weeks ago, I received an email that my certificate is readily available.

I was happy.

In this time of uncertainty, it gives hope in me because it reminds me that learning should not stop and that we can always maximize our time wisely with the time being.

You can view their offered courses here. 

To this and more, YES to learning. Love learning.

Thank you, UPOU!
