MODULE 3B: LEARNING RESOURCES

LESSON 1: LEARNING RESOURCE MAPS FOR DISTANCE LEARNING

Activity 1
The DepEd Memorandum on Suggested Strategies in Implementing LDMs for SY 2020-
2021 included the Learning Resources (LR) Map as a guide in selecting the appropriate
Distance LDM to be implemented in Schools/Divisions. Study this map and answer the
following questions in your Study Notebook:

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?
Aside from the modules coming from the central and our division office,
our schools do not have yet a complete resource for the distance learning
delivery modalities.
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?
 In order to fill-up the missing learning resources, we can use the two DepEd
portals: the LRMDS and Commons to search for the following LR and also, to
substitute the missing LR by collaborating to the teachers we will make/write
a module/worksheet by following the format given by our division

3. What support will you need to maximize the use of the two DepEd-
sanctioned LR Portals? From whom can you get this support?

 Because learning must be reinforced, using the learning portals is very

important to supplement the missing LRs. We need support to orient the
teachers on how to register on the portals. We also need a support in
providing the school with a better and stable internet connection. In order to
achieve these: we can accept donations form generous stake holders, from
the LGU’s and officials.

4. Based on your evaluation of the materials, are they appropriate to the level
and characteristics of learners?

 Through the evaluation of the materials that was distributed by DepEd, we

found out that the level of difficulties of the materials were appropriate to the
student’s level of thinking. However, since mother tongue is a part of the
curriculum of the K-12 education, there is a need to translate and
contextualized the learning materials.

5. 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?
  When it comes to learners reading ability and learners comprehension, it
would be a disadvantage for the learners because the LR from national has a
lots of reading to do.
 In order to reach the reading level of the pupils, we need to low down the
difficulties of the LR by giving easier and more examples of activities.

Activity 2
1. 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.

Answer:

 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. Establish access to the following portals:

1. LRMDS Portal. Ensure that you have an LRMDS Portal Account. If you have
not registered yet, follow the LR Portal User Guide to guide you in your
registration process. Alternatively, seek assistance from any of your colleagues
or your IT personnel in your school, district, or division. You may also coordinate
with your LAC Leader and/or Coach. To understand the portal better, you may
watch the LR Portal Video Tutorial located in the resources of this Course.

 Register and create and account in LRMDS

2. DepEd Commons. Ensure that you have access to DepEd Commons. Refer
to Memorandum on DepEd Commons dated March 17, 2020.

 Register and create and account in DepEd Commons

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’?

 Teachers can use the two DepEd portals to search and download LRs
How do they complement the LRs that you already have?
 Teachers can use it as a supplementary material in filling out the missing
LR’s to our LDM.

2. What are the challenges in accessing the LRs in the portals both for you
and your learners? How will you overcome these challenges?
 lack of gadgets
 unstable internet,
 financial burden to parents in paying data load for internet connection.
  Learners’/parents’ limited technical knowledge in operating the
portals(DepEd Common)

3. What support will you need to be able to maximize the use of the LR
Portals? From whom can you get this support?

 Seek assistance to LGU’s, accept donations for internet connections, save

and give a copy of supplementary materials to parents.

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.

 Organize a LAC session in accessing LR portals.

 Collaborate to teachers and help them in the register in the Two DepEd Portals
 Technical Assistance in operating gadgets in and downloading LR’s from the
portals.

Good job! You are done with Lesson 2. You may now proceed to Lesson 3

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?

 Yes, the material was able to meet all the requirements.

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?
 Based on the assessment there were no answers “No” or “Cannot Be
Determined”

3. Are there other aspects of the material not covered by the tool but still
need to be assessed? Specify which aspect/s.
 In my own perspective, there are no aspects of the that is not covered.

4. How does this exercise help you in picking the right and appropriate LRs
for your lesson and your learners?
  The use of Rapid Assessment Tool helps us to assess learning resources’
validity accurately.

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 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.

2. Based on the results of the Assessment Tool, what improvements do the

materials — both from DepEd and Non-DepEd portals — still need?
 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.

3. How does this exercise help you in picking the right and appropriate LRs
for your lesson and your learners?
 In determining the right LRs for our lesson, we need to make sure that the
LRs are aligned to the MELCs. This exercise help me check the validity of
LRs appropriately.

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?

 We can still contextualized the modules from Kinder to Grades 3 to suit
their mother tongue

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 help 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 contextualized the modules from Kinder to Grades 3 to

suit their mother tongue.

Submit your LR assessments with your reflection on the exercises to your LAC
Leader. Ensure that you keep a copy for yourself.

Congratulations! You are now done with Module 3B. You may now proceed to Module 4
