MODE OF DELIVERY, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, AND OTHER SUPPORT SYSTEMS


This RED Learning Kit is to be delivered on a printed modular modality. This is the modality that
students may choose if they are facing either a zero internet connectivity at home, or an
unstable internet connectivity. If you have chosen this modality, you are in self-study mode. You
are expected to follow the study guide for this course. A minimum of 3 hours per week is
required for you to work for this course or a total of 54 hours in 18 weeks.

Cost Accounting and Control


19
You are expected to submit the requirements as due for better navigation of the course. For
writing and presentation requirements, you are expected to avail of grammar and spelling
checkers.

Consultation with your teacher should be at least once a week observing the class hours using
these channels
Faculty-in-charge: Sandy E. Chavez, CPA
Email: sandy.chavez@unc.edu.ph
Group Chat – (once we have the list of the students, it is encouraged for them to have FB
messenger.- aside from the email, announcements will be posted here) 

Collaboration with group mates and class mates should be at least once a week at a schedule
agreed upon through ur Group Chat or through text messaging. Hence it is important that you
provide me with your FB messenger account and your cellphone number if possible.

On the other hand, if you choose the Flexi Tech modality, it means that your internet
connectivity at home is stable, and therefore you can make use of the Learning Management
System or LMS for your learning activities at home. In this modality, you will have learning
sessions that will be done asynchronously, meaning, you will follow through the lessons,
instructions and activities using the LMS by connecting on-line. You can do this at your own pace
and time, preferably at the time that is prescribed in your schedule of classes to help you in
managing your time properly. You will also have synchronous classes with your teacher and
classmates, meaning, you will get to meet with them virtually by using platforms such as Zoom
or Google Hangouts. The schedules are provided in the class schedule. However, whenever
there are adjustments in the schedule of meetings because of certain exigencies, you will be
informed about it through a message in the Group Chat which we will create, or through text
messaging.

Section Day Time Google Meet Details

2094 TF 9:30-11:00am meet.google.com/xtv-jriy-kzg

In a face-to-face mode of delivery, we meet during class hours at an assigned room. That has
changed in a remote set up whether flexi kit or flexi tech solutions. Instead of meeting every
week at a pre-assigned time and place, a large portion of your work will involve independent
study tasks. This means you will need to pace yourself, direct your own learning experience, be
disciplined in managing your time, and target to complete assignments on or before the due
date.

Every week, I designed a module which provides details on how you should engage with the core
topic and whether this will be supported by a live meeting via Google Meet. The lesson/topic for
Cost Accounting and Control
20
each week is designed following the UNC outcome-based education delivery format. You must
view these study guides at the start of the week to give you clarity of what lies ahead and what is
expected of you during the week.

In both flexi kit and flexi tech, further consultation can be done outside of class hours: 1:00-2:00

STUDENTS’ REQUIRED SKILLS IN A DISTANCE LEARNING MODE


Distance learning covering both flexible tech-driven and printed modular modalities may sound
so wonderful that some of you may start with an unrealistic vision. In reality, these learning
modalities require just as much, if not more, time, energy, motivation and discipline as
traditional classroom courses. So, it is imperative that you possess specific skills and apply
learning strategies to be successful in these learning modalities.

To better equip you for distance learning, it is highly recommended that you take and complete a
Coursera course- MINDSHIFT: Break Through Obstacles to Learning and Discover Your Hidden
Potential. Mindshift teaches the essentials of online learning. It provides practical insights from
science and certain mental tools so you can learn and do more—far more—than you might have
ever dreamed!

You can avail this course as a free course, which means no certificate will be provided to you
after completion. However, the skills and learning strategies that you will gain are helpful in your
university journey.

Aside from the Coursera course, we have the summary of skills and learning strategies that will
surely help you in this distance learning mode: I would like you to carefully read the list and
apply these in all your courses.

1. Persistence
Persistence is perhaps the biggest key to succeed in distance learning. This means that you
should have the willingness to tolerate technical problems, initiative to seek help when needed,
discipline to work daily in every class, and motivation to persist through challenges.

You should understand that you will run into challenges, but keep trying and ask for help. You
have to set up a manageable study schedule and stick to it. You are expected to log in and make
progress every day. Have that discipline, stick to your schedules even after the novelty of going
to distance learning starts to wear off! Keep going! Your daily little progress when sums up will
be surely of significant value at the end of this course.

2. Effective Time-Management Skills


Next, time management. You must be able to manage your time well. This flexibility is one of the
great benefits of distance learning. But, it can also be a drawback if you procrastinate, unable to
stick to a routine study schedule, or is not able to complete assignments without daily reminders
from your teacher.

Cost Accounting and Control


21
Effective time-management skills don't just happen. You have to learn this by practice. Once you
do, you will benefit from it throughout your life. So, follow the tips below to develop yours:

● You are encouraged to review the syllabus for each of the courses. You must develop a
comprehensive plan for completing the course requirements and assessments.
● Make a daily "To Do" list. And have fun checking things off the list as you complete them.

It takes time to develop good habits. But, at the end, you will surely gain satisfaction from being
well-organized and in accomplishing your tasks.

3. Effective and Appropriate Communication Skills


Another is about communication. This skill is vital in distance learning because you must seek
help when you need it. We, your teachers, are willing to help you, but we are unable to pick up
on non-verbal cues, such as a look of confusion on your face. You are advised to follow these
tips:

● Use the tools provided by your courses as channels for communication. Our school and
your program provide several ways for us to communicate. These might include e-mail,
discussion groups, chat room office hours, cell phones, and even text messaging. We
want to help you to succeed in your classes and will surely answer your questions.

You may feel awkward to talk with your teachers this way, but these channels aim to
bridge the communication gaps in distance learning. So, go ahead and see the channels
specified in this course.

● Use appropriate style and language for school. When communicating with your
teachers and other staff, you should write in full, grammatically correct sentences and
with a respectful tone. While many of you are used to a very informal style of writing in
chat rooms, blogs, text messages, and so forth, for academic training in UNC along
English Immersive Environment (EIE), you are encouraged to be mindful of your
language and sentence construction .

Because of the distance, it's tempting for some of you to say things out of anger or frustration
that you would never say to your teacher in person. We, your teachers in distance learning are
both professionals and persons. We expect to be treated with respect and courtesy in the same
way that you do in a physical classroom; and with persons whom you encounter every day like
your family. Let us always remember the UNC Core Value: We Respect Each Other and Work as a
Team.

4. Basic Technical Skills


The fourth skill is about technology. You as learners need basic technical skills to succeed. These
include your ability to create new documents, use a word processing program, navigate the
internet and the learning management system, and download software and files. We will have
an orientation on how to use the learning management system and other online tools.

Cost Accounting and Control


22
If you lack basic computer skills, we are encouraging you to find an online tutorial and learn from
there. You may also want to check the UNC’s main website for its hardware and software
requirements to see the compatibility of your own gadgets

5. Reading and Writing Skills


Another is about reading and writing as the main ways to communicate in distance learning
modality. Although some hard copies of textbooks might be required, you should be comfortable
reading a lot of documents on a computer screen and able to type.

Though some tests and quizzes have multiple choice questions, many of your assignments will
involve writing short or long answers. So appreciate these learning activities to improve your
writing skills.

6. Motivation and Independence


The sixth skills are about motivation and independence. To be successful, you must want to
succeed. Distance learning requires independence, internal motivation, responsibility, and a
certain level of maturity.

Kindly reflect on these questions:

What are your reasons for attending school?


Are you determined and self-motivated to succeed in school?

Your answers are worthwhile reasons to work hard in school. In the future, it will give you a
greater level of personal satisfaction with your career. Perhaps it would be simply a personal
pride in your accomplishments.

7. A Good Study Environment


The last but not the least is having a good study environment. This is a critical factor in distance
learning. Refer to the helpful tips below:

● Get some peace and quiet. You will need a quiet place to work without distractions from
things like television, family, or roommates.
● Avoid games. Consider uninstalling any computer games to avoid temptation. Or keep
the games on a different computer in the house.
● Turn off mobile phone devices. Let your friends and family members know the hours
that you will be "at" school.
● Beware surfing the black hole of the Internet. It is easy to lose track of the time as you
wander from site to site.
● Consider ergonomics. Adjust the height of your chair, keyboard, and screen so that you
will be comfortable. Forearms and thighs should be level and parallel to the floor. Wrists
should not be bent while typing.
● Set up good lighting and comfortable seating. Lighting in the room should be at least as
bright as the computer screen to avoid eye strain.

Go back to the above list from time to time to be reminded of helpful tips to succeed in distance
learning or probably in life in general.
