History

The Interactive Learning Center (ILC) was established by the UP Board of Regents in 2003.

Objectives

  • To support the interactive learning process through the development and production of multimedia materials primarily for undergraduate programs, including General Education Courses

  • To develop faculty expertise in the production and development of multimedia learning materials

  • To enforce the standard of quality in keeping with the academic practice of peer review

  • To implement policies and guidelines for the development and production of interactive learning materials, including the University's policy on intellectual property rights.

Where we are today

Through the iTuro grant, the ILC provided grant support for faculty to develop blended learning courses in 2018, even before the pandemic.

The ILC also runs the UP Manila Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) and supports the Canvas learning management system. Soon, the ILC will be running the UP System VLE for UP Manila.

ILC Director Iris Thiele Isip Tan was recognized by the Metrobank Foundation as an Outstanding Filipino (Higher Education) in 2021.
