On 31 January, APIE Core Course Batch 8 officially kicked off with its first e-Workshop, bringing together more than 390 participants from 18 universities across 9 economies — Bangladesh, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, Nepal, the Philippines, and Vietnam.
The session was hosted by Keiko Okawa, Director of SOI Asia, and supported by 12 teaching assistants, all APIE alumni, alongside the SOI Asia and APNIC Foundation teams. The workshop invited participants to reflect on their own Internet environments — from connection speed and latency to physical and technical conditions — setting the tone for the course ahead.
This was the first of six e-Workshops running through mid-April and marks the official start of APIE Core Course Batch 8.
