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.
