ASU Holds Online Journalism Seminar Workshop





Aklan State University (ASU) held a Seminar Workshop on Online Journalism: Web Writing for Cultural, Literary, and Historical Content at its Banga campus from June 3 to 5, 2008. Sponsored by the Commission on Information and Communications Technology (CICT), the workshop involved some 35 participants from ASU's faculty and administrative staff, who learned new techniques in writing for the Web.

They were trained by a group of professors from the University of the Philippines in Diliman that included Dr. Jose Dalisay Jr., Dr. Isabela Banzon-Mooney, and Dr. Lily Rose Tope. These professors delivered lectures on Philippine and Third World literature and on web-based reading and writing.

The workshop was coordinated by ASU Prof. Edecio Venturanza and CICT Project Manager Maria Leanna Beltran. ASU President Benny A. Palma and School of Arts and Sciences Dean Mary Eden Teruel lent their strong support to the workshop, which they hoped would involve ASU and its constituents more deeply in ICT-related activities and project ASU's presence more strongly on the World Wide Web.
