Rice Generalists in the Making?



With my current post-retirement assignment at the Phil. Rice research Institute (PhilRice), will I be a rice generalist in-the-making? Currently, I am reviewing and rewriting a courseware on rice technology featuring the Institute's PalayCheck systems.

The courseware is expected to assist if not outright make PhilRice training facilitators and the RSO's (Rice Sufficiency Officers) as rice teachers themselves. They (myself included) are expected to take over the role of Rice Specialists (e.g. entomologists or water management specialists) as the resource person in a given rice training course.

How will we do this? That is what the PhilRice Courseware Development team is trying to package, a courseware that would facilitate the learning process, even in the absence of an SMS (subject matter specialist).

Thus, when I really go directly into rice farming soon, I would be confident that what I'll be doing would create tangible (positive) impact in rice production. (JSF Blogs)
