GENERAL EDUCATION MATTERS:

UP Diliman General Educaion Center’s “General Education (GE) Faculty Development Extension Program 2024: LINANGAN” is a webinar series for GE faculty of UP constituent universities (CUs), state universities and colleges (SUCs), local universities and colleges (LUCs), and private higher-education institutions (HEIs). It is a continuation of the previous LINANGAN program, building upon its success and reach. By continuing LINANGAN, the GEC aims to further enhance the teaching and learning of general education by creating a space for sharing and exchanging the teaching methods and techniques utilized by UP Diliman GE faculty to integrate pressing contemporary issues such as artificial intelligence (AI), gender sensitivity, critical production/consumption of news, and disaster risk management into their respective courses. LINANGAN shall run from April to November 2024.

The primary objective of the project is to promote the integration of the responsible use of artificial intelligence, gender sensitivity, critical production and consumption of news, and disaster risk management in the pedagogy of general education courses.

For 2024, LINANGAN is grouped into four major themes which correspond to pressing contemporary social issues. The GEC identifies these contemporary issues as the following:
1. Artificial intelligence;
2. Gender sensitivity and mainstreaming;
3. Critical production and consumption of information; and,
4. Disaster preparedness and risk management.
