COURSE OVERVIEW
When the first COVID-19 case was recorded in March this year, the
country was placed
under a state of national emergency. COVID-19 ushered in a new
normal in the way people
conduct business and deal with each other. To prevent the further
spread of infection
among the populace, various measures were put in place such as a
ban on mass gatherings,
restrictions on movement, social distancing, and preventive practices
like hand washing and
wearing of masks, among others.
In the face of this continuing health threat, the Department of
Education (DepEd) formulated
the Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan (LCP) to put into
motion the marching orders
of the Secretary: ensure that learning continues while guaranteeing
the health, safety, and
wellbeing of all learners, teachers, and other DepEd employees.
The LCP recognizes that DepEd must adopt alternative modes of
delivering learning if it is to
reach all learners regardless of who and where they are. Where
school-based, Face-to-Face
Learning is not possible, the LCP identifies three learning delivery
modalities (LDMs) that
schools may implement: Distance Learning, Blended Learning, and
Homeschooling.
A critical component of the LCP is enabling teachers and school
leaders to use these learning
delivery modalities effectively (see Figure 1). LCP capacity building
has two streams. The first
stream (LDM1) is focused on the implementation and management
of the alternative learning
delivery system at all levels of the education system, and intended
for school and division leaders. This course you are taking now,
which is LDM2, is intended for teachers and is focused on the
instructional implications of using these alternative LDMs.
Course Objectives
By the end of this Course, you will be able to:
1. know the different LDMs and platforms: their features, uses, and
pedagogies
2. plan for the implementation of the school-adopted LDMs
Use a paper notebook or create a file on your computer or smartphone. For more details, read the Study Notebook
Brief.
At various points in the modules, you will be prompted to convene a
LAC Session with your
co-teachers to discuss a particular lesson and/or to collaborate on
specific tasks. You will
be given a LAC Guide to help structure your LAC activities. Your
LAC will also be assigned
a Coach from the Division or District Office. This Coach is tasked to
provide guidance and
support to your school LAC as you go through the course activities.
