Improved Teaching Through Online Learning

Be Better

With the increased use of the Internet, the relevance of learning online also rose in the previous years. Students and researchers alike has always been encouraged to supplement their sources with online references as well. 

From the other end of the spectrum, the teachers can also use online references to complement their teaching materials or even improve their teaching methodologies.

These ideas gave Saint Mary’s Publishing Corporation (SMPC) President Jerry Vicente Catabijan the drive to initiate a CSR website for his company - www.better.com.ph. Its objective was providing materials and information for educators and teachers alike who want to improve their learning online and be better at what they do.

“So I thought...how can I help here? So that’s what led me to create an online resource site that will cater to teacher solely. Here, teachers can read up on a lot of practical articles that can help them become better educators, plain and simple,” says SMPC President Jerry Catabijan. 

Belonging to a family of textbook publishers, they have been in the business for over 47 years already. So it's not surprising anymore when he started www.better.com.ph last year.
