The University of the Philippines Open University (UPOU) is once again providing 24 free online courses that can be completed at one's convenience.
The university emphasized its commitment to "borderless education," offering courses that are "free, self-paced, and open to everyone."
UPOU highlighted that successful completion of each course will result in e-certificates, equivalent to 16 hours of training, which can be added to one's credentials.
The courses offered in 2024 cover a range of topics, including gender sensitivity, graphic design, social entrepreneurship, video editing, and more.
To enroll, interested individuals can fill out the registration form as the first step through the following link: https://url.upou.edu.ph/upoumodel-signup.
UPOU noted that login credentials are sent every Thursday until 4 p.m. on Wednesdays. Requests submitted after the cut-off will be processed the following week.
For the second step, UPOU advised the public to "sign in to the new Massive Open Distance eLearning (MODeL) account upon receiving the email."
In the last step, individuals are encouraged to change the password to a "strong and unique one."
Additionally, UPOU mentioned that those who already have MODeL accounts can self-enroll in the Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) on UPOU's website.
