 LESSON 1: LEARNING RESOURCE MAP
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?

Our school implement Modular Distance Learning (MDL) so in order to achieve

this LDM we need to have printed Self Learning Modules (SLM). This SLM will
be distributed to the learners.

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?
- Using the Deped LR we can easily find and obtain our need SLM. But before
we can open the portal we need to have an interne access and permission of the
administrator.
- From our ICT coordinator designated as the admin of the portal.

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.

After the discussions and exchanging of ideas we come up with the different ideas
regarding LR. Learning Resources and SLM are now ready to our portal given by the
national for our modular Distant learning so the only help that my colleagues can offer
is to print the SLM for distribution to our learners.
 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?

- In our school we adapted a Modular Distant Learning, by the help of the two
Deped portals we can easily access of Learning resources and SLM. We can
obtain our learning modules online so it eases the burden for us teachers.
Paperless LR fast and well-ordered process in giving LRs.

2. What are the challenges in accessing the LRs in the portals both for you and your
learners? How will you overcome these challenges?

- Internet connection is the main concern in accessing the portal but some
students and teacher has a slow internet speed. The other concern is it need a
cellular phone or laptop to enter the portal so as an adviser, I downloaded first
the specific LR and I personally distribute it to my learner to ensure that
everyone can get their copy.

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.
- During the LAC session we knew that one in our group is an admin of the said portal
in our school. We had shared our personal experience in using the learning Portals and
after the session we agreed to use the portal frequently in addressing need in teaching
ang regarding LRs.
 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.

RAPID ASSESSMENT OF LEARNING RESOURCES

SELF-LEARNING MODULE IN MATHEMATICS 8
Is the LR Material... YES NO Cannot be determined

1. Connected and relevant to the

MELCs?
√
2. Appropriate to the grade level and
learner characteristics in terms of
√
language, activities?

3. easy to reproduce and/or

disseminate?
√
4. from a credible source/author?
√
5. culture- and gender-fair?
√
6. free from red flags on possible
copyright and plagiarism issues?
√
7. the layout and format easy to read
and pleasing to the eyes?
√

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?
- Deped prescribe LRs are reliable and aligned in the basic requirement needed for
choosing LR's while non deped LR's sometimes deviate from the requirements of
standard LR's..
The differences are as follow:
a. they are not contextualized and localized
b. they are not K – 12 compliant
c. they are not MELCs-based
d. they are not simplified

2. Based on the results of the Assessment Tool, what improvements do the materials — both
from DepEd and Non DepEd portals — still need?

-Deped materials before posting to the deped portal were being examined by the
deped personnel so I think there's no revisions for that but non deped materials of
course need to be examined first and must be aligned to the assessment tool given by
deped.
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 LRs which were given/distributed by the DepEd are also the ones
uploaded in the DepEd Portal(LRMDS and DepEd Commons. These
materials will be the ones to be used in the actual classes and these
materials meet all the requirements based in the assessment using the
Rapid Assessment Tool.

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

The Activity Sheets needs the following improvements;

1. Better lay-out
2. Proper citation of used reference materials
3. The AS should be carefully validated and edited by real experts
in the fields

ACTIVITY 4.

Share and discuss your answers to the questions in Activities 1, 2, and 3 in your
next LAC Session. Jot down insights and information that can be useful to you
in choosing the appropriate LRs.

Insights:
 The materials that were uploaded in the DepEd LR Portal(LRMDS and DepEd
Commons) meet the requirements from the Rapid Assessment Tools, while the
materials form the Non-DepEd LR portal did not meet some of the requirements.

 There is no need no improve in the materials uploaded in the DepEd

LR portal, while in the Non-DepEd Portal, I think we need to improve some
parts of the worksheet based in the Rapid Assessment Tool.

In determining the right LRs for our lesson, we need to make sure that

the LRs are aligned to the MELCs. This exercise helps me check the validity
of LRs appropriately.

 The LRs which were given/distributed by the DepEd are also the ones
uploaded in the DepEd Portal (LRMDS and DepEd Commons. These
materials will be the ones to be used in the actual classes and these materials
meet all the requirements based in the assessment using the Rapid
Assessment tool.
 Finally, we can still contextualize the modules to suit their mother
tongue.
