C&E Adaptive Learning Solutions (C&E ALS) unveiled its “C&E ALS University” booth at the Manila International Book Fair (MIBF) 2025, offering visitors an interactive look at how education in the Philippines is evolving through a mix of tradition and technology.
The booth, called the “Campus of the Future,” featured curved walls to represent adaptability, green accents to reflect campus life, and modern archways that invited guests to step into a reimagined learning space. According to the company, the design was meant to give a preview of how classrooms and libraries could look in the coming years.
“Our vision was to create more than a booth,” said John Emyl Eugenio, COO of C&E ALS. “We wanted to give educators, students, and partners a real experience of what the future of learning looks like, one where books, digital solutions, AI, and hands-on tools all come together.”
Inside, the company presented its range of offerings: print and digital content from C&E Publishing and international partners such as McGraw Hill, Elsevier, Sage, Pearson, Cengage, and Wiley; library and learning platforms, including Canvas LMS, distributed in the Philippines by C&E ALS; STEAM and makerspace kits for students; AI-powered solutions for teachers; and technology partnerships with Samsung and Britannica.
The booth also served as a venue for interactive activities. Visitors took part in the Course Card Passport Challenge, where they explored different learning zones and tested various tools. Teachers tried AI platforms for lesson planning, librarians learned about resource management solutions, and students worked with STEAM kits.
A seminar on Generative AI in Education, held on Sept. 11 at the SMX Convention Center, was among the highlights of the company’s participation. The session was led by Engr. Ericson Dimaunahan, director of the Office of Digital Education, Learning Technologies and Analytics at Mapúa University.
“Education has always been shaped by the tools of its time. Our task as decision makers is not just to keep pace, but to set direction,” said Ronald Laovinia, representative, C&E ALS.
Eugenio said the positive response validated the company’s mission. “Seeing so many educators and students actively engage with our solutions tells us we are on the right path,” he said.
C&E ALS noted that its MIBF showcase was only a start, with plans to further expand solutions that combine tradition and innovation in Philippine schools.
