[Self Directed Learning]
As part of its steadfast commitment to fostering academic agility and independent mastery, Panpacific University officially conducted a comprehensive Orientation on Self-Directed Learning (SDL) for the 1st Term of Academic Year 2025-2026.
Recognizing that student agency is the cornerstone of modern education, the orientation was strategically held on September 4, 2025, via Zoom prior to the formal start of classes. This proactive approach ensured that students were fully equipped with the digital tools, mindsets, and navigational skills required to thrive within the university’s innovative Wave System and SDL framework.
Dr. Virgo Lopez, Academics Vice President, discussed the PCST courses and presented how the university’s core values. Truth, Service, and Compassion, are integrated longitudinally through the curriculum to develop ethical and future ready graduates.
Mr. Ariel Leonin, Director for Curriculum and Instruction, covered the mechanics of Self-Directed Learning (SDL) and provided students with a roadmap for navigating the pedagogical shift toward autonomy, digital module engagement, and mastery-based learning.
By establishing this foundation before day one, Panpacific University ensures that every learner is ready to navigate our digital modules on Canvas with confidence, integrity, and the self-regulation skills demanded by today’s global industries.
