This document outlines Dave E. Marcial's work on local knowledge computing, which involves integrating information and communication technology into collecting, preserving, and sharing local or indigenous knowledge. It discusses the curriculum integration model used at Silliman University, which focuses on multi-disciplinary local content across various fields and uses different technologies. Several example student research projects are described that developed games, databases, and other tools for documenting and making accessible local knowledge in areas like history, biology, anthropology and food. Lessons learned emphasize the importance of collaboration and having preserved local knowledge available to integrate into computer studies curricula. Future plans include expanding local knowledge inclusion in coursework and establishing a dedicated research laboratory.

Editor's Notes
- Founded on August 28, 1901 It is the oldest school in the Philippines founded by American Presbyterian missionaries The University is home to over 9,000 students – 300 of whom are international students from 36 countries in Asia, America, Africa, and Europe.
- These traditions are most often passed on orally to their kin. Today many stories of their traditions are forgotten or remain untold because of different circumstances. The National Alliance of Indigenous Peoples Organizations in the Philippines (KAPM) believes that preserving these stories is very important in the light of cultural degradation and disintegration of Indigenous Peoples’ communities caused mainly by a series of displacements. Their indigenous knowledge urgently needs to be transferred. This includes their rich history, their views on land and resources, their methods of environmental preservation and sustainable livelihood, and their way of self governance through their own indigenous socio-political systems and structures. The transfer of this knowledge plays a crucial role in maintaining their sense of identity and community; and can provide solutions to age old problems of the non-recognition of Indigenous Peoples’ rights and their deteriorating state of poverty and under-development. The outcome of the project is an audio-video production of their voices that can be disseminated and used by the indigenous communities and organizations, through the media (radio and even television stations and programs), schools, universities, and churches.

- Anthropology Item Management and Locator System [13] It is a stand-alone system that enables the user to maintain the accession of artifacts. It supports security in the keeping of records of artifact and corresponding information, given that only museum administrators and members are given access. It also allows user to search for an artifact name along with the artifacts corresponding description and related information (e.g. accession #, catalogue #, date). Likewise, this system gives information on the location of the artifact within the museum’s vicinity by category or type. Lastly, the system generates inventory, donor and visitor volume reports.
