Recent tools and solutions developed by the Center were also shared, such as the ADM Toolkit for Secondary Education, Toolkit for Building Disaster-Resilient School Communities in Southeast Asia, Education in Emergencies, Weaving Identities Toolkit, e-Citizenship, and Mobile Technology for Teachers, to name a few. These researches and products were done in order to provide policy recommendations as well as learning materials that will instruction, pedagogy and learning delivery. The tools, such as ADM and Education in Emergencies, were developed to serve as alternatives to formal education.

These courses are CPD-accredited by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC).
