E-Learning Program (ELP) for Blended Learning Modality

Title of the Program / Project

Description: E-Learning Program (ELP) is a technology-based instructional delivery innovation

in which learning experience is delivered electronically to the learners. Basically, the
elements that make up this program are the synchronous and / or asynchronous
lecture content. It is typically managed or administered via learning management
system (LMS) which is the Google Classroom.

In synchronous e-learning, the teacher and learners meet in a virtual (live) classroom
platform where everyone just happens to be seeing each other but geographically
dispersed. The virtual classroom platform like Google Meet offers features such as
slide or screen sharing, as well as interaction tools such as chat, polling, and screen
annotation.

On the other hand, in asynchronous e-learning, the learners are self-paced or learn on
their own, usually on a laptop, tablet or android phones. This learning mode includes
pre-recorded lecture content and video, visuals, and/or text, knowledge quizzes,
simulations, games, and other interactive elements. It also includes the use of FB
messenger and FB page groups when the teachers required their learners to submit
answers to given learning activities and performance tasks. There are also teachers
who utilize the Google Form and Google Drive platforms for accessing the learning
materials and submission of answers and outputs to learning tasks.

This program started before the opening of the School Year 2020-2021 in
preparation to the transition of the learning delivery modality from modular (print)
learning to blended learning – a combination of modular (digital) and online learning
(either asynchronous or synchronous). On the onset of its implementation, 10 out of
36 (28%) SHS teachers participated in this program and conducted to 13 sections,
covering about 485 out of 1077 (45%) learners. However, in the current school year,
more teachers are motivated to participate in the program resulting to more learners
experience Blended Online Learning.

Impact / Outcome:

 Cost Efficiency – Expenditures incurred on printing and reproduction of Self-

Learning Modules (SLM) and Learning Activity Sheets (LAS) has been reduced. In
SY 2019-2020 where the school employed modular learning modality, the number of
papers utilized for reproduction of SLM in Senior High School 5,084,160. In the

following school year when ELP was implemented, the number of papers for
reproduction of SLMs decreased to 3,031,040. There is a percent decrease of 40%.

 Increased Teachers’ ICT Skills and Competence – Teachers were capacitated on

e-learning such as the utilization of Google Classroom, creating pre-recorded videos,
making quiz online using Google Form and other applications on assessing learning,
using meeting online platforms, and the like.

 Increased Learner’s Mean Proficiency Level (MPL) – The increase in MPL can
be attributed to the implementation of ELP for Blended Learning. In SY 2020-2021,
the school got an MPL of 87.06 whereas in SY 2019-2020, it was 81.43 – a
difference of about 6. One factor that triggered this instructional outcome is the
learner’s positive attitude or satisfaction towards learning. Based on a survey
conducted, ELP seems to provide clearer and learner-centered instruction than the
pure modular learning delivery. The learners felt the sense of presence and belonging
because they are provided with immediate feedback and technical support on their
queries and concerns. Also, frequent communication done by the teacher through FB
messenger checking their understanding of the learning content also satisfies
learner’s presence and belonging. These simple strategies employed in ELP made
learners feel emotionally engaged and motivated to learning achievement.
