Published February 22, 2021, 2:58 PM In a bid to cope with the challenges brought by the ongoing pandemic, the Philippine Railways Institute (PRI) launched last week a new online learning platform for its web refresher training course. “I am delighted that, in keeping with the times, the PRI is now able to provide remote learning sustainably during, and even beyond, this pandemic,” Transportation Undersecretary Anneli Lontoc, officer-in-charge of the PRI, said. “PRI is now part of a growing number of institutes and organizations that have adopted this kind of learning platform,” she added. According to Lontoc, PRI’s new Learning Management System (LMS) aims to provide the existing railway operations and maintenance workforce a platform that allows self-paced learning, while still encouraging the trainees’ participation through facilitated contact sessions.
