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?
Answer: 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?
Answer: Incomplete LRs, ask copy from school or EPS of Araling Panlipunan for
available LRs.
3. What support will you need to maximize the use of the two DepEd-sanctioned LR
Portals? From whom can you get this support?
Answer: 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 internet access and permission of the
administrator.
 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.
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
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?
Answer:
– 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?’

Answer:
– 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?
Answer:
– 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 ICI coordinator designated
as the admin of the portal.

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
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?
• None
3. Are there other aspects of the material not covered by the tool but still need to be
assessed? Specify which aspect/s.
• None
4. How does this exercise help you in picking the right and appropriate LRs for your lesson
and your learners?
• This assessment tool was a great help for us teachers in choosing the best LR for our subject
matter. It taught us to consider first all requirements needed in obtaining our desired L .R.

 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?
Answer: 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
2. Based on the results of the Assessment Tool, what improvements do the materials —
both from DepEd and Non-DepEd portals — still need?
Answer: 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?
Answer: Because of this exercise and assessment tool I can now choose better
Learning Resources for my subject matter.

 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?
Answer: I had made a learning resources in my grade 9 students. When I saw the
assessment tool I had knew that I am lacking and didn’t meet
some requirement prescribe by deped.
2. What improvements do you still need to make in your developed material?
Answer: Need to improve the sources of the activity and the type of font to make it
readable to my students. Also I will consider the culture and gender fair next time.

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