UP picks top 5 profs
Through the Great Ideas.ph Project (www.greatideas.ph), UP's top 5 professors are being chosen by students, faculty and staff. These UP teachers are to speak at "This is UP! - the Great Ideas Symposium" on October 6, 2010, 2pm, Malcolm Theater, College of Law, UP Diliman. The Symposium is a celebration of great ideas, where each of the 5 professors speaks for 10 mins. Nominations end on August 16. Voting ends on Sept 20.
So far, about 400 faculty members have been nominated by over 2,300 registered voters. The top 5 professors will talk about ideas, subjects, research projects they are most passionate about.
The Great Ideas.ph Project is mounted by the UP Diliman Interactive Learning Center (DILC), in partnership with academic units and student organizations. It is designed to highlight a diversity of great ideas at its online portal and through a series of events.
Why the "Great Ideas dot PH" Project?
Everything starts with an idea; great things, with "great ideas."
Compelling materials discussing great ideas are good conversation starters. They are a good educational resource. The "Great Ideas dot PH" will serve as online portal where institutions and organizations can document and share their best peer-reviewed ideas. Through the portal, the public may interact with purveyors of great ideas. Schools and other institutions may use the resources at the online portal for instructional purposes.
The "Great Ideas dot PH" can be a good platform to promote interdisciplinary commerce. As ideas are not limited by arbitrary disciplinal boundaries, the Project fosters scholarly collaboration and exchange of ideas.
Beneficiaries. The Project directly benefits public school libraries in Metro Manila and other provinces. Multimedia packets of locally produced educational materials will be distributed to less privileged educational institutions. Resources generated will also support the training program of the UP Diliman Interactive Learning Center (DILC) for the UP faculty and other constituents.
The Project also engages the public in an educational experience of celebrating great ideas with our top University professors.
Other Prospects. The Project highlights ideas that propelled Filipino companies to success or drove best practices in the industry. It can discuss the inspirations driving institutions and movements to effect positive social change.
