Our mothers are our first teachers. They are the first ones that molded us into what we are today. Mothers are to be admired for they give a lot of effort and sacrifice just to give the best that they can to their children. There are even those who are Super Moms who work full-time as moms and still have energy to work at the office. Greater admiration, however, must be given to those mothers who worked hard for the benefit of their country and countrymen. WikiPilipinas presents the list of ten Filipino mothers who are artists and scholars in different fields of knowledge who became founders and leaders of their own ventures.

Learning Management System (LMS) is a software application or web-based technology used to plan, implement, and assess a specific learning process. Through LMS, instructors are given a way to create and deliver content, monitor student's participation and assess student's performance. Students on the other hand can use interactive features like threaded discussions, video conferencing and discussion forums. Known samples of LMS are Blackboard, Moodle, and Edmodo.

In the Philippines, there is an offline e-learning solution that is being offered among schools. V-Smart, a project of Vibe Technologies, Inc., the technology arm of Vibal Publishing House, Inc., is an offline learning management system which allows teachers to create and deploy quiz, assignments, and events and students to respond. It also allows teachers to record a student's performance. If you're worried about your son being distracted by a constant Internet connectivity, don't worry because V-Smart enables e-learning through the use of a controlled school server and a Wi-Fi network. Twitter, Facebook, and Candy Crush are definitely a no-no's.
