- instruction that takes place when the
students and teachers are separated
by distance or time.

- an organized instructional program in

which the teacher and learners are
physically separated.
Classification / Approaches

A.Synchronous

A.Asynchronous
Advantages of Distance
Learning
★ Allows individuals isolated by distance,
geography and other barriers to gain
educational access

★ Delivers remediation or
enrichment to students
Advantages of Distance
Learning
★Offers a way to bring experts, outside
consultants or other individuals into the
classroom from a distance

★Links together two or more classrooms

from different locations so there can be
student to student interactions
Advantages of Distance
Learning

★Distance education technologies can

help teachers consult with experts or

and so on.
Problems and Issues of
Distance Learning
1. Monetary Cost
2. Copyright
3. Policy Issues
4. Technical Difficulties
5. Need for Planning
6. Need for training and support
7. Not all content works well with distance
learning
Would you consider distance
education as a teacher?

How about as a student?

When do we say that distance
learning is effective?
 Educational Applications of
Distance Learning
Distance learning is equal to or more effective
than traditional instruction when the following
criteria are met:
a. The method and technologies used are
appropriate to the instructional tasks.
b. There is student-to-student interaction.
c. There is timely teacher-to-student
feedback.
Educational Applications of
Distance Learning
 Educational Applications of
Distance Learning

Homebound and Home-schooled
Students
 Virtual High Schools

- Web-based programs where students

participate via email, bulletin boards, chat
and file transfers with a teacher/facilitator.
 Virtual High Schools

- These programs are designed to meet the

needs of home-bound or homeschooled
students, suspended students, as well as
those who simply want to take courses that
are not offered at a physical high school.
 Virtual High Schools

- AMA Online University

- Southville International School
 The Classroom Guest Speaker

- Video and audio conferencing allow the

instructor to bring into the classroom a guest
who would normally be unable to visit.
- Numerous web sites also offer access to
experts via e-mail and chat.
Distance Tutoring and
Mentoring

- Tutors can usually work at their homes or at

a central location and communicate with
the students via e-mail, chat, or
videoconferencing.
Distance Tutoring and
Mentoring
Distributed Classes

- The teacher stays at one school but

classrooms in several other schools can be
linked through the Internet, telephone, or
video to the teacher classroom.
Contract Courses

- Some companies now provide selected

courses to schools that cannot offer those
courses in the traditional manner.
Contract Courses
Staff Development and In-
Service Programs

- Distance learning offers many opportunities

for staff development and training.
Alternative Delivery Modes

According to DepEd Order No. 54 s. 2012 (Policy

guidelines on the implementation of Alternative Delivery
Modes), ADMs aim to primarily address the problems on
congestion and other situations, circumstances which
prevent children from going to and staying in school.
Alternative Delivery Modes

- Is an alternative modalities of education delivery within

the confines of formal system that allow schools to deliver
quality education to marginalized students and those at
risk of dropping out in order to help them overcome
personal, social and economic constraints in their
schooling.
Alternative Delivery Mode

Refers to all alternative modes of delivering education

services within the frame of the formal education system.
(DepEd, 2012).
ADM Guidelines

- The kind of modality to be implemented in each division

shall be determined by the Division Schools
Superintendents.
 ADM Guiding Principles

The implementation of ADM shall be anchored on the following

principles:
a. Basic education is free and shall be accessible to all
b. Education is a right to every individual
c. Education is inclusive and not discriminating
d. Stakeholder participation is integral to total child
development
 ADM Funds Allocation
As a general rule, all regions and divisions are entitled to
avail the ADM funds to address the critical problems
related to education access.
However, priority should be given to the following:
- Presence of schools with double and triple shifting

(congested)
- big number of incomplete students
- High incidence of dropouts (including pupil or students at

risk of dropping out

ADM Modalities

The national government through the Department of

Budget and Management (DBM) approved the request of
DepEd for a separate funding facilities for ADM modalities
available in both Elementary and Secondary Education
such as:
ADM Modalities

1. E-IMPACT - Enhanced instructional

Management by Parents, Community and
Teacher
2. MISOSA - Modified In-School Off-School
Approach
3. OHSP - Open High School Program (e.g.
Project EASE/Home Study/Blended Learning)
4. Other local initiatives
ADM Modalities
E-IMPACT
E-IMPACT - Enhanced instructional Management by
Parents, Community and Teacher
- Technology-enhanced alternative delivery mode of
learning wherein a peer-led approach is the main
process that allows pupils to learn, interact with each
other and develop to their fullest potential.
E-IMPACT

- Management system where the parents, teachers

and community collaborate to provide the child the
appropriate learning experience.
E-IMPACT
- Usually offered in the Elementary level
- Children become the active participants in the
learning process.
- Learning materials are based on the national
curriculum standards of DepEd.
- Delivery modes are programmed teaching, peer-
group learning and individual study.
E-IMPACT
- Education in the E-IMPACT system encourages and
develops in the children the skill to learn
independently and eventually become self-and
lifelong learners.
- Encourages peer learning and peer mentoring as
important strategies for empowering learners as
active partners in the educational process.
E-IMPACT
- Use of audio tapes in English, Science, Math, and
Filipino
- Use of Information and Communications Technology
in teaching the lessons
E-IMPACT
MISOSA
Modified In-School Off-School Approach
- Combines formal and non-formal learning activities
to meet the needs for classrooms, learning materials,
and teachers.
- Has also enrich activities using the community
resources as a laboratory for learning aside from the
classroom, that is, half of the class stays with the
teacher while the other half stays with the teacher-
facilitator in the community school.
MISOSA
- Use of self-instructional materials that contain the
lessons to be learned for the day.
- Include learning objectives, activities to work on
exercises and questions to answer and other
enrichment activities.
MISOSA
- Utilization of community school as a laboratory for
learning aside from the classroom.
- MISOSA improves classroom management and
promotes equal access and opportunities for learning
- It also develops the students’ study habits love for
learning and self-esteem
- Attends to the unique needs of individual pupils
MISOSA
OHSP
Open High School Program (e.g. Project EASE/Home
Study/Blended Learning)
- For secondary education
- It caters to students who are not able to attend the
regular program due to physical and financial
constraints.
- Open to all Filipinos who have the capacity to do
independent and self-directed learning.
OHSP
- Potential learners are the street children, working
students, young mothers, and the like.
- Independent, self-pacing, flexible study
