What is the Flexible Learning Setup?

Dear Students,

Welcome to Flexible Learning Setup! This is a combination of face-to-face classes and home-based
learning. For school year 2021, we will follow the 4-10 schedules, which mean:

● you will attend face-to-face classes for 4 days in a week; and

● you will study at home for the next 10 days.

The primary instructional material for the flexible learning set-up is the Flexible Learning Module. The
learning experiences in the modules are designed for full self-study in the event that you will need or be
required to stay home.

Other definition of Flexible Learning as cited in (https://www.igi-

global.com/dictionary/classification-approaches-web-enhanced-learning/11249):

1. Systems in which students may choose to complete some of their learning on-campus and some of
their learning off-campus.

2. A broad term used to describe the design and delivery of programs, courses, and learning
interventions in such a way as to cater for student demands for variety, access, recognition of diverse
learning styles, and student control over and customizability of the learning experience. It is often
incorrectly used in an interchangeable manner with other terms such as “open learning,” “distance
learning,” “work-based learning,” as well as “e-learning,” which are all instances or forms of flexible
learning in that they provide flexibility to the student in terms of time/pace, place, access, content,
and/or delivery mode.

3. An approach to learning in which the time, place, and pace of learning may be determined by
learners. In this chapter this term is used to include the approaches taken by distance learning and
open learning.

4. This term describes a learning design perspective deeply rooted in the needs of students, with the
main objective being to provide them with the most flexibility about the learning content, schedules,
access, and learning styles as possible. A flexible learning design customizes learning environments to
meet the needs of learners, using both technological and non-technological tools. Flexible Learning is
closely related to Blended Learning and Distributed Learning.

5. This enables teachers and students to adapt to teaching and learning requirements at any given
moment. Students can modify their learning environments to fit a variety of learning styles and activities
ranging from individual to group exercises.

6. An approach which suggests instructional designers to provide learning facilities which gives learners
choices for time and/or place for learning in a customized way.

7. Accessing education in a way that is more responsive and often supported by use of technology.

8. A teaching strategy designed to empower students to learn, to learn fully, effectively, efficiently, and
with rewarding satisfaction. It is the responsibility of our profession as teachers or faculty to study ways
of maximizing the potential of our environments to support students’ learning and to minimize those
elements in their environments that may impede it.

9. Approaches to teaching and learning that are learner centred, free up the time, place and methods of
learning and teaching and use appropriate technologies in a networked environment (Moran &
Myringer, 1999, p. 60).

10. An approach to learning in which the time, place, and pace of learning may be determined by
learners. In this chapter this term is used to include the approaches taken by distance learning and
open learning.

11. Learning in which specific factors such as content, time, space, mode, and pace are determined by
the learner.

GRADING SYSTEM:
For Third Year board subjects offered in the regular term, the formula for the Final Grade is:
FG = (0.17 x P1) + (0.17 x P2) + (0.16 x P3) + (0.50 x FE)
Where:
• FG refers to the Final Grade
• P1 refers to the First Period Grade
• P2 refers to the Second Period Grade
• P3 refers to the Third Period Grade

 Course Code: CRI 189
Course Title: Fire Protection and Arson Investigation
Student’s Activity Sheet: Module #0

• FE refers to the Final Examination

The 1st Periodical Grade is computed as follows:

P1 = (CS x 2/3) + (P1E)/3

The 2nd Periodical Grade is computed as follows:

P2 = (CS x 2 /3) + (P2Es/3) + (P1G/2)

The 3rd Periodical Grade is computed as follows:

P3 = (CS x 2 /3) + (P3ES/3) + P2G/2

Class Standing composed primarily of the finished modules whether in school or at home.

CREATING GROUP CHATS:

Rules to be observed:

1. Be Kind and Courteous

We're all in this together to create a welcoming environment. Let's treat everyone with respect. Healthy
debates are natural, but kindness is required at ALL times.

We can't tell you not to post anything political (especially during these times), but if you disagree with
someone, please do so with kindness and respect. No trolling, please!

Comment threads that get to mean shall be closed.

2. No Hate Speech or Bullying

Make sure everyone feels safe. Bullying of any kind isn't allowed, and degrading comments about
things like race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, gender or identity will not be tolerated.

3. No Selling or Spam Posts

No IFs, ANDs, or BUTs. Posts of this nature will not be approved. Comments that sell or spam others
shall be deleted.

4. Respect Everyone's Privacy

Being part of the group requires mutual trust. Authentic, expressive discussions make groups great, but
may also be sensitive and private. What is shared in the group should stay in the group.

5. Use the Search Bar

We will be using this Facebook Group to pass on official announcements from the school. We will also
have recurring themes for many discussions. Some of the hashtags that you'll be seeing a lot of will be:

#Ask (if you want to asking something about the lesson)

6. For Meme posts that to lighten the mood, share a joke, and celebrate weird victories. (These
posts are subject to the Group Adviser's approval.) Use this #MemeLang
