The year 2023 holds a significant milestone for UPOU’s Massive Open Online Course platform, UPOU Massive Open Distance eLearning (MODeL), as it celebrates a decade of providing free, open, and lifelong education. To commemorate this achievement, UPOU introduces “Openg,” the newest chatbot designed to enhance MODeL users’ learning journey.
Derived from the concept of openness, “Openg” embodies UP Open University’s unwavering commitment to open education and lifelong learning, fundamental values of the MODeL platform.

“Openg” has been expertly designed to facilitate various aspects of navigating the MODeL platform, such as assisting with account setup, course registration, and guiding users through the intricacies of the platform itself. Users can easily pose their inquiries through either Facebook Messenger or the MODeL website, and Openg will promptly provide the answers and support they require.
