Merchant Marine Academy of Caraga, INC. (MMACI) maritime students are
now ready to access adaptive learning resources or A-books that will help
pave the way for them to become Global Maritime Professionals. Through
the partnerships with PTC and TERP, MMACI students will be able to use
these books, which include animations and videos on their smartphones.

TERP also integrated the assessment part in their A-books to provide
feedback to students on what to work on for their subjects and also
provides feedback to teachers so they can adjust to the needs of their class.

During the MOA signing last October 25 Capt. Emerico Gepilano,
MMACI COO said, “On behalf of the Merchant marine Academy of
CARAGA, Inc., we would like to thank PTC and TERP for this great
opportunity to be one of the beneficiary schools to use the A-Books
developed by TERP.”

“These resources are sure to be used properly not only by the
students at our school in CARAGA but also by the whole of the
Mindanao Region where the majority of our students come from.
Rest assured that through this partnership, we can help provide
future Chief Engineers and Captains of PTC. Thank you very much
TERP and PTC!”

Mike Esplago, COO of TERP Asia Pacific added “Because of our
partnership with PTC through the help of Capt. Enrile and Captain
Jampil, we were able to extend our support to students who are
financially struggling to continue their education, and part of these
challenges is the lack of strong internet connection in their areas.
That’s why TERP passionately developed the A-Books with offline
accessibility to help these students conquer those challenges
alongside their learning journey.”

In closing, Capt. Ronald SJ Enrile thanked Capt. Gepilano for his
acceptance and cooperation and said “PTC wants to develop more
students to become future Global Maritime Professionals (GMP),
that’s why we partnered with TERP through the initiative of Mike
Esplago. I believe that the A-Book is an efficient tool for students to
learn better and excel academically. It would be very beneficial for
students, especially those who are financially challenged and those
experiencing slow internet connection, mostly in the provinces. We
look forward to a fruitful partnership with your school.”

Mr. Esplago further emphasized the need for feedback as the
students and teachers of MMACI access the A-Books especially in
helping their students to learn better. This will also be a good tool
for the team to know what needs to be improved in terms of the
services TERP offers.
