is the Philippine’s leading developer of innovative educational resources and systems, keeping abreast with changing technologies in order to make teaching
and learning truly borderless.
Vibal Goes Digital
Vibal has bridged the gap between print publishing, digital or online publishing, transforming education from its simplest
to its broadest sense, and harnessing technology to change the way people acquire information and learn.
The effective synergy between the print, digital, or online tools and resources offered by Vibal provides students the competitive edge in this age of Information and Communication Technology (ICT).
Having established itself for over five decades as an institution in the field of textbook publishing
in the country, Vibal has, in recent years, pioneered in the development and production of digital learning tools such as interactive CD-ROMs, DVDs, and audio CDs. Vibal has dedicated manpower, facilities, and equipment to handle multimedia production requirements for the development
of digital curriculum materials.
The internet has also provided Vibal Publishing the avenue with which to reach its diverse market 24/7. It has set up three online hubs called i-Learn, i-Teach and i-Guide to make available through the internet various resources for students, teachers, and parents, respectively.
In addition, Vibal—through its corporate foundation—has also established four revolutionary websites offering rare books, information, news, and other educational resources online for free.
Product Innovations
Textbook publishing continues to be the bedrock of Vibal’s operations. It has textbooks for pre-school, grade school and high school students covering the various subject areas, with
a growing number of titles for college.
Over the years, however, Vibal has kept abreast with the changing needs of the Filipino learner, diversifying its product line to include curriculum support materials such as periodicals, children’s storybooks, DVDs, CD-ROMs, and audio CDs, all bearing the same Vibal seal of quality.
Vibal also offers e-learning tools for both students and teachers, accessible through the internet by simply logging on to i-learn.vibalpublishing.com and i-teach.vibalpublishing.com, respectively. These include videos, slide shows, interactive exercises, puzzles, quizzes, and other multimedia activities. Parents can check i-guide.vibalpublishing.com for the e-learning components of the Vibal textbooks their child is using.
