UVLe ’26 Caravan Brings Updated Learning Management System Training to UP Diliman Academic Units First stop of the UVLe ’26 Caravan: Faculty members and lecturers at School of Labor and Industrial Relations (SOLAIR) participate in the UVLe ’26 training session, exploring the updated platform and its new features. The Interactive Learning Center Diliman (ILCD) successfully conducted the UVLe ’26 Caravan, a series of unit-based training sessions designed to support faculty members and lecturers in transitioning to the updated University Virtual Learning Environment (UVLe ’26). Following the implementation of the upgraded platform in December 2025 as announced in Memorandum No. ILCD MFMR 25 – 005: Launch of the New UVLe, ILCD reached out to academic units across UP Diliman through Memorandum No. ILCD MFMR 26 – 004: UVLe ’26 Caravan Unit-Based Training Sessions, to provide targeted training sessions addressing the needs of both experienced and new UVLe users. UVLe ’26 Caravan at the School of Urban and Regional Planning-Office of Graduate Studies: Helping SURP-OGS faculty and lecturers make their transition to UVLe ’26 smoother and supporting the effective use of the platform in their classes. The three-hour training sessions consisted of two components: Transitioning to UVLe ’26 – a session designed for faculty members and lecturers who have previously used UVLe. This segment introduced the major updates and changes in the new platform. Basics of UVLe ’26 – an introductory session intended for new users with no prior experience using UVLe. This segment covered the essential features and basic functions needed to begin creating and managing online course spaces. To better accommodate participants, the sessions were structured so that previous UVLe users could complete the transition segment first, while new users could continue with the succeeding introductory training. Faculty members and lecturers at the UP School of Economics engage in hands-on discussions and demonstrations on using UVLe ’26 for their courses. Bringing UVLe ’26 Training Closer to Academic Units The initial implementation of the UVLe ’26 Caravan successfully conducted eight (8) training sessions for: School of Labor and Industrial Relations (SOLAIR) School of Urban and Regional Planning – Office of Graduate Studies (SURP-OGS) School of Economics Institute of Civil Engineering (ICE) National Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (NIMBB) Diliman Extension Programs in Pampanga and Olongapo (DEPPO) Institute of Mathematics Asian Center Through these sessions, a total of 100 faculty members and lecturers were trained on the updated UVLe ’26 platform. UVLe ’26 Caravan made a stop at the National Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (NIMBB), where faculty members and lecturers learned how to transition to the updated platform and navigate UVLe ’26 as new users. Collaboration for Digital Teaching and Learning The success of the UVLe ’26 Caravan was made possible through collaboration between ILCD and participating academic units. Each unit helped facilitate the sessions by organizing participants, preparing venues, and coordinating with ILCD. ILCD provided the training expertise and resources through its team of speakers, training assistants, and support staff. Across the eight completed sessions, ILCD personnel contributed a total of 126 staff-hours dedicated to training delivery, facilitation, technical assistance, and participant support. Through this collaborative effort, support for UP Diliman faculty members and lecturers in effectively using the UVLe ‘26 learning management system is strengthened, promoting utilization of educational technology tools for teaching and learning.

The training formally opened with an opening ceremony led by ILCD Director, Associate Professor Miguel Francisco Remolona, who delivered the opening speech and emphasized the importance of UVLe ’26 in strengthening digital teaching and learning at the university.   The project was headed by ILCD Program Development Associate (PDA) for Education Technology Jessica Junio-Jimenez while the training itself was led by faculty trainers Carlo Angelo Sonday, Jake Avila, Elenita Que, and Adelson Chua who is also an ILCD PDA.

The program was split into two sessions; the AM sessions titled “Transitioning to UVLe ‘26 & Basic UVLe ‘26 for Faculty” which focused on the UI changes, transferring UVLe ‘22 classes to the new platform, as well as the showcase of some of the new features. The PM sessions titled “UVLe ‘26 Gradebook & Groupings and Grade Overrides” were focused on the more advanced feature of UVLe: the Gradebook. In these sessions, the facilitators demonstrated the process of using the Gradebook, types of grade aggregations, groupings, and all of the important specifics on using the feature. ILCD staff and training assistants provide support during the training. Photo by Blade Saliva, ILCD. Asst. Prof. Jake Avila served as the Training Facilitator during his session.

But the training did not only focus on the website’s new features, ILCD also launched new UVLe platform badges that the participants and facilitators will receive after the training. These new badges, although purely for bragging rights for now, will be displayed on the user’s profile and will be a good first step for the plan of blockchaining our online credentials. Currently in its beta form, UVLe ‘26 is aimed to fully release along with the CRS integration module by midyear.
