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 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.

We have agreed to provide immediate technical assistance to each other when we encounter
problems in accessing online portals for LRs. We also came up to a consensus to share updates and
useful tools and knowledge about more sources whether offline or online sources of LRs to suffice the
needs for additional useful LRs.

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 internet connection, especially that we are in
remote area where there is an absence of internet access. It takes time to travel because of the
distance. The alternative way is to find some place where the signal reception is better and that is
far from our school.

3. What support will you need to be able to maximize the use of the LR Portals? From whom can you
get this support?
The LR Portal and Deped commons are platforms that alternatively used as addition activities
which you can maximize the exercises in teaching. It provides you easily to give other information
and other exercises in teaching the new normal.

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.

We agreed to provide technical assistance in case problems occur while accessing the said
portals. We also decided to include the updates of these portals to our future LAC sessions.

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. It helps me deliver the lesson simply
and easily understandable.

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. The improvement that
still need to develop material are the lesson that suit to my learners.
