 LESSON 1: LEARNING RESOURCE MAPS FOR DISTANCE LEARNING
ACTIVITY 1
1. Based on the map, what resources should you have in order to implement the LDM adopted by your
School/Division?
Modular distance learning is the adopted modality in our school. Hence, printed self-learning materials and
activity sheets are the resources that we are going to utilize.

2. Do you have the complete resources for the Distance LDM needed in class? If the LRs are not complete or not
available, what steps will you take to make these available? What are your options to substitute these
missing LRs?
The school is now in the process of reviewing the SLMs provided to us. But teachers are already utilizing the
use of LR Portals like LRMDS and DepEd Commons to find useful and effective LRs to supplement the SLMs if need
be.

3. What support will you need to maximize the use of the two DepEd-sanctioned LR Portals? From whom can
you get this support?
A good and stable internet connection is a primary need in accessing these online portals. A support group to
ensure the quality and appropriateness of the LRs should be established. I will get the support from my fellow
educators and the technical support from out ICT coordinator.

4. Based on your evaluation of the materials, are they appropriate to the level and characteristics of learners?
Are there learners who might be disadvantaged by the materials (based on reading ability, level of learning
independence, level of household support, distance)? What adjustments will you make in terms of the LRs?
The resources are appropriate to the different levels of our learners. These resources are in editable formats
so improving or adjusting it to meet the needs of all learners should be easy.

ACTIVITY 2
In your LAC Session, share and discuss your answers from the previous activity. What support can you provide to your
colleagues and what support can you get from them in terms of LRs? Take note of the insights that you can gather
from your colleagues and write them in your Study Notebook.

 LESSON 2: ACCESSING LEARNING RESOURCES FROM DepEd PORTALS
ACTIVITY 1

Explore the Portals. In your Study Notebook, answer the following questions:
1. Given the LDM adopted in your School, how can the two DepEd portals respond to your LR needs and those
of your learners’? How do they complement the LRs that you already have?
The LRMDS and DepEd Common portals provide supplementary materials to our SLMs that we can download,
improve and adjust to meet the needs of all our learners. It gives variety of learning activities to complement the
existing LRs I have prepared.

2. What are the challenges in accessing the LRs in the portals both for you and your learners? How will you
overcome these challenges?
The biggest challenge in accessing these portals is a poor or very slow internet connection. The alternative
way is to find some place where the signal reception is better.

3. What support will you need to be able to maximize the use of the LR Portals? From whom can you get this
support?
A good and stable internet connection is a primary need in accessing these online portals. A support group to
ensure the quality and appropriateness of the LRs should be established. I will get the support from my fellow
educators and the technical support from out ICT coordinator.

ACTIVITY 2

In your next LAC Session, share and discuss your answers to the questions in Activity 1. Explore how you can help and
support each other in using the LR portals. Jot down the insights and helpful information regarding the use of the LR
portals in your Study Notebook.

LESSON 3: ASSESSING THE LR MATERIALS

ACTIVITY 1

Study the LR Rapid Assessment Tool. Download an LR from either DepEd Commons or LRMDS Portal and assess the
material using the tool. Answer the following questions in your Study Notebook:
1. Was the material able to meet all the requirements?
The download LR material met the learning targets of the lesson. The LR has the basic standards required to
deliver the MELCs.

2. Were there any questions in the assessment tool where you answered “No” or “Cannot Be Determined”?
What decision will you make on the LR material? Why?
 The evaluation method has achieved the quality and reliability of the activities to manipulate and optimize the
use of the LR portal.

3. Are there other aspects of the material not covered by the tool but still need to be assessed? Specify which
aspect/s.
The learning material covered the lesson but require some description and terminology to achieve the best
understanding of the concepts.

4. How does this exercise help you in picking the right and appropriate LRs for your lesson and your learners?
Understanding the management of this LR Portals, this gives me the confidence and motivation to look for the
most appropriate learning resources to my learners.

ACTIVITY 2

Explore other non-DepEd LR portals/platforms you can find online. Take note of the portals in your Study Notebook.
Download at least one LR from each portal. Assess the materials using the same tool and answer the following
questions in your Study Notebook:
1. Based on the Assessment Tool, how does the material from a non-DepEd Portal compare with the LR from
the DepEd Portal?
The resources are not quality assured and only provide minimal support to attain the learning objectives for
the students.

2. Based on the results of the Assessment Tool, what improvements do the materials — both from DepEd and
Non DepEd portals — still need?
A more precise and easier to follow instructions can be developed. Upload more additional resources to meet all
the learners’ needs and levels of understanding.

3. How does this exercise help you in picking the right and appropriate LRs for your lesson and your learners?
Understanding the management of this LR Portals, this gives me the confidence and motivation to look for the
most appropriate learning resources to my learners.

ACTIVITY 3

Choose one of the LR materials that you have developed. Assess this material using the same tool. Answer the
following questions in Your Study Notebook:
1. How does your material compare with the ones that are obtained from the online portals?
The material needs more precision and quality assurance.

2. What improvements do you still need to make in your developed material?

The complexity of contents to meet the learning needs of my students.
