The resource speaker was the University President, Dr. Anthony M. Penaso who emphasized the relevance of the 21^st century skills to the learners. He stressed that students should be ‘Living for Learning’ and not just limit themselves in the boundary of a classroom. He encouraged all the instructors and professors of the University to cope with the complexity and demands of the changing times.

The workshop aimed to address the need to focus on the importance of the skills needed by the students in the ever changing digital world. The 6 Cs- Character, Citizenship, Collaboration, Critical thinking, Communication, and Creativity should be imbedded in the currular programs and activities of the University. JSG/pico
