On 16 April 2007, PEN-International conducted the final teleconference in a series of three between NTID and the College of St. Benilde (CSB), Manila, Philippines. The two-hour teleconferences focused on teaching mathematics to deaf and hard of hearing postsecondary students. The presenters were Vince Daniele, Chair of the mathematics and science department at NTID, and Joan Carr, Associate Professor in NTID's mathematics department. This teleconference was unique in which it was web-streamed live, as well as sent to CSB via an ISDN network. Officials from the Nippon Foundation of Japan could view and hear the training live through a dedicated link on the PEN-International website.

The objectives for the teleconferences were: to discuss the design of mathematics courses for deaf and hard of hearing students, to describe and compare various classroom presentation options, to explore various visual strategies for presenting and solving mathematical problems, to develop and appreciation for the way in which spoken and signed language impacts the teaching and learning of mathematics, and to identify ways that scientific calculators can motivate and enhance student learning, and finally, to discuss the role of tutoring and other support services in supporting mathematics instruction.
