Abstract
Amidst the clear-cut changes constantly happening in the educational landscape, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are continuously pursuing graduates that meet global standards. The rise of remote jobs from previous years opened a gateway of opportunities for Filipino graduates to ensure employment from various multinational employers. To maintain this, HEIs in the Philippines must be able to offer quality education and programs that meet exceptional standards. This study aims to address the inability of tertiary institutions to track the competencies that the students have gained by integrating the outcome-based education (OBE) framework through an online platform. This paper also enumerates the benefits of having an OBE Management system such as achieving a holistic view of evaluating students' competencies, the system integrates educational data from various sources such as grading system, Learning Management System (LMS), and surveys. The system development research process is conducted in this study. One of the objectives of this study is the integration of drill-down analysis into the OBE Management system. This allows users to create reports easily and faster, furthermore, it aids the country in achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SGD) 4 for Quality Education. The premise of the study also contributes to the impact of system development on attaining quality education for HEIs.

Abstract
The use of Technology-Enabled Learning (TEL) has become increasingly popular in higher education as a teaching and learning methodology. TEL has been acknowledged for its various benefits, including increased flexibility and convenience for both educators and students. However, integrating TEL into the classroom setting also presents unique challenges. Despite the importance of understanding these challenges, limited research has been conducted from the perspectives of various stakeholders. Using a mixed-methods approach, this study addresses the need for a more comprehensive understanding of the challenges associated with the use of TEL in higher education. The findings show that these challenges include self-regulatory, technological literacy and competency, student isolation, technological sufficiency, technological complexity, learning resource, and learning environment. The results of this study provide a foundation for developing a technology management framework that considers the needs and perspectives of students. The challenges and potential solutions presented in this research can be used as a practical guide for managing the use of technology in the classroom effectively. By considering the challenges of TEL and incorporating practical solutions, educators can optimize the use of technology in their teaching practices and improve student learning outcomes. Overall, this research contributes to the literature by providing a comprehensive understanding of the challenges associated with TEL in higher education and practical solutions for managing the use of technology in the classroom. The findings can be used by educators and institutions to enhance their understanding of TEL and to develop effective strategies for implementing and managing technology in the classroom.

Abstract
A case study of DITO telecoms is used to examine the effectiveness of door-to-door sampling caravans for telecoms firms to develop their subscriber base. The telecoms sector is changing; thus client acquisition strategies are being reconsidered. In this study, in- person engagement and personalized encounters are evaluated in the digital age. The mixed-methods research analyses quantitative and qualitative data. Customer comments and sales team observations during the door-to-door sample caravan provide qualitative data, while subscriber growth metrics, conversion rates, and demographic profiling provide quantitative data. Research shows that door-to-door sampling caravans may boost subscription growth. Personalized interactions build trust and rapport, which may overcome consumer skepticism about digital marketing. The technique also permits direct targeting of demographics and places to meet local requirements. However, scalability, resource allocation, and long-term effect must be considered. The research emphasizes strategic planning, training, and communication for caravan sales teams. The study found that although digital initiatives are important, offline approaches like door- to-door sampling caravans may provide a competitive edge. Telecommunications firms looking to vary their client acquisition techniques might learn from the research that in-person contact can maintain subscriber growth.

Abstract
Providing support is one thing, generating an automatic ticket category based purely on the textual data provided is another. This study is working towards encouraging the educational landscape to start integrating AI in further enhancing the way students learn and the way teachers are giving their lessons. The focus of this study is to use the subset of AI that concentrates on making machines understand how humans talk which is known as NLP. By using several Python libraries, 3 text classification algorithms – namely SVM, Naïve Bayes, and logistic regression were used to train the previously collected dataset and choose the model that will be integrated to the web-based helpdesk system called HelpTech. With the help of the model, the system instantly categorizes the issue submitted by the end users resulting to an easier way to use the educational tools available which assist the stakeholders in developing their digital literacy.

Abstract
The technology-enabled learning and teaching ecosystem (TELTE) enhances accessibility, personalization, engagement, collaboration, and continuous learning, while also providing valuable data for assessment and improvement. TELTE is essential in education as it empowers learners, expands access to knowledge, fosters engagement and collaboration, and prepares individuals for the demands of a digital world. However, most frameworks focused on the needs of learners, leaving other stakeholders, such as teachers, underrepresented. Therefore, the study focused on developing a technology management framework for TELTE (TMF-TELTE), addressing both students and teachers. The framework development was anchored to the challenges concerning resource allocation, delivery methods, support systems, management support, technology infrastructure, and policy development. A mixed-methods approach using an explanatory sequential design was adopted. The experts, students, and teachers from various HEIs who participated evaluated the framework in terms of usefulness and convenience. The results show that the students, teachers, and experts all agreed that the developed framework was acceptable. TMF-TELTE was therefore recommended to be included in either the revision of their curriculum and other academic materials or the development of new technology- based learning and teaching ecosystems.

Abstract
Among computer programmers and developers, the user-oriented question-and-answer website of Stack Overflow is a useful platform for sourcing solutions to programming problems, exchanging insights, and accessing a wealth of shared knowledge. However, the timeliness of responses on this platform is frequently a limiting factor that ChatGPT could potentially address. The goal of this study was to explore the preferences of novice programmers between these platforms for finding answers to their programming questions. Anchored in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Information Foraging Theory (IFT), the study investigates users' perceptions of usefulness, ease of use, information scent, cognitive effort, as well as overall preferences. Our findings show discernible variations in preferences within the group of students (i.e., application and website developers). In line with these results, we discussed theoretical and practical implications and suggested a dual-pronged approach to leverage both environments as coding assistants in computer programming education.

Abstract
The sudden transition to emergency remote education (ERE) caused by the pandemic has been a highly complex undertaking for teachers and students alike. For developing countries, such a disruption only aggravates the pre-existing global education crisis and influences the sector in unprecedented ways. Thus, we explored how teachers and students from higher education in a developing country adapt to ERE during the pandemic. Specifically, we attempted to identify the common challenges faced by teachers and students and their coping strategies to handle pandemic-induced stress. To this end, we conducted a comparative cross-sectional study from October to November 2021 with 78 teachers and 94 students from a higher education institution in Manila, Philippines. Our results show that while self-regulation is the greatest challenge among students, it is the conduciveness of the home environment for teachers. Interestingly, although teachers and students have varying concerns, both groups rely on acceptance, humor, and positive reframing as their coping strategies. By painting a holistic picture of the challenges and coping strategies of both teachers and students, education policymakers and administrators can make an informed decision on how to best continue ERE and prepare in advance for the resumption of school in the new normal.

Abstract
This project aims to aid students, teachers, and even non-teaching staff in terms of managing technological inquiries and maintaining communication to perform academic-related transactions by developing Tissa – a web-based helpdesk support system for tertiary institutions that integrates various time series analysis techniques in forecasting the estimated number of tickets to be filed by the stakeholders based on historical records. Specifically, it explores the effects of developing a dedicated ticket management system that incorporates both analytics and enhanced user experience to the users’ satisfaction, especially in a tertiary school setting. A total of 62 respondents were selected through purposive sampling. These respondents helped in evaluating the system's overall quality based on the ISO/IEC 25010 software quality model. The respondents' evaluation of the system's overall quality received an above-average score which means that the system passed the testing in terms of system requirements. The results gathered also suggest that 95.2% of the respondents agree that the inclusion of data visualization serves as valuable insights in performing strategic business decisions. Additionally, the system's user experience evaluation received the highest mean score of 4.82. The results for exponential smoothing yielded an 88% accuracy, linear regression was 80% accurate, simple moving techniques had an 85% accuracy rate, and 84% for the weighted moving average, which suggest that techniques used in this study can be considered reliable for future references.
