Lesson 1: Online Distance Education and Communities of Learners
Lesson 2: Online Resources, Educational Sites and Portals
III. LESSON OVERVIEW
Distance learning is a form of learning without a face-to-face contact with the teacher and
delivered via telecommunications. In the past, this involved correspondence courses wherein the
student corresponded with the teacher via mails. This turned out to be beneficial since universities
added students without having to construct classrooms while they enjoy being able to work
anytime and anywhere at their convenience. With the advent of newer technologies, distance
learning is delivered via computer - based media thus called online learning or e-learning. This
made classrooms borderless and learning boundless. This was enhanced by the emergence of
web 2.0 tools which made collaborative learning easier.
IV. DESIRED LEARNING OUTCOMES
At the end of the lesson, the students are expected to:
a. identify flexible learning through online communications (synchronous/

asynchronous modality) (Lesson 1);
b. describe flexible learning environment that enhances collaboration with the use of
technology tools (Lesson 1);
c. identify educational sites and portals suitable to the subject area (Lesson 2); and
d. select an appropriate resource portal (Lesson 2);
V. LESSON CONTENT
Lesson 1: Online Distance Education and Communities of Learners
Flexible Learning Environment

Learning nowadays is viewed differently. The present generation of learners has
access to information at their fingertips. The teacher is no longer seen as basically the
dispenser of knowledge but rather as one who expertly directs the learners to take their
own track in searching for answers to questions raised inside the classroom. Then they
bring these back to the class for further discussion until perhaps resolutions are agreed.
They can search the web and discover a breadth of information related to the lesson.
They even have the patience to stay in front of the computer for an unusually longer time
in search for more articles and multimedia materials that simplify a challenging topic. That
is why they can sometimes learn more than what is confined in the four corners of the
classroom.
“In accordance with Section 185, Fair Use of Copyrighted Work of Republic Act 8293, the copyrighted works included in this material may be reproduced for
educational purposes only and not for commercial distribution,”
NVSU-FR-ICD-05-00 (081220) Page 1 of 14
Every chance or corner becomes a learning space. It is clear that learning takes
place anywhere and 'this adds to the concept of flexibility in the learning environment. With
technology, students can possibly continue to join class sessions even if they are not
physically around. The learning space becomes virtual or mediated. The library is not only
a physical structure where they can read published books but has also become virtual.
Online Distance Learning

Online distance learning is not a new concept. Some schools, higher education
institutions in the country, and educational agencies such as the Southeast Asian
Ministers of Education Innovations in Educational Technology (SEAMEOINNOTECH)
provide this mode of learning. It allows flexibility in learning to a certain extent.
The Different Platforms

The flexible mode of learning uses a platform such as moodle, Google classroom,
edmodo, schoology, etc. These are free programs designed for educational purposes, It
has features that are patterned after the instructional activities of a teacher in a physical
classroom. When you use this, you can actually hold a -lesson, post questions for
discussion, hold an online chat discussion, give assessment activities and provide
references or links to other online materials. features relevant to instruction and facilitating
of learning.
Moodle
Source 1https://img.scoop.it/JMT5kyl_SSsIbzgvkQwqAjl72eJkfbmt4t8yenImKBVvK0kTmF0xjctABnaLJIm9
Moodle was created by Martin Dougiamas, founder and CEO of Moodle. MOODLE
stands for Modular Object Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment which is an open
source software. It is a Learning Management System (LMS) that supports teaching and
learning.
Below is an image map that we created patterned after the previous LMS format
of SEAMEO INNOTECH. Online distance education classes are conducted using this.
Google Classroom and Edmodo
Google Classroom is a free service for

teachers and students. It is an LMS platform that
is accessible google account. You can Create
classes and perform your roles and functions as a
facilitator of learning. In 2008? edmodo was
created by Nic Borg, Jeff O'Hara, and Crystal
Hutter.
Martina (2015) compared edmodo and

google classroom in her blog. Although she
discussed several commonalities, there are
apparently differences but with technology, things
evolve in so short a time. What is clear is that they
were created as apps that can integrate well with
classroom activities. The decision lies in the
teacher who will determine what works best in her
teaching and learning context. Both are amazing
tools that can be explored.
Schoology
Source 2https://support.schoology.com/hc/article_attachments/360008729514/Course_Dashboard.png
Schoology is another LMS founded in 2009 by Jeremy Friedman, Ryan Hwang,

Tim Trinidad and Bill Kindler.
You can actually create your own online distance education learning system using
any of these platforms.
MOOCS
Another recent modality to learning is the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC).
It is a model for delivering learning content online to any person who wants to take a
course. It allows one to pursue learning even outside of university or higher education
formal structure. Those who are working can enrol in MOOCS with no limit on attendance.
As long as you are willing to learn, you can engage in an area of discipline and learn. It
allows interconnectedness among peoples in the world to discuss and share recent
developments in their common field of interest.
EDUCAUSE is a nonprofit association with the mission is to advance higher

education through the use of information technology. The link herein provides a succinct
video explaining about MOOCs. (Please view URL: https://library.educause.
edu/topics/teaching-and-learning/massive-open-online-course-mooc.)
Synchronous and Asynchronous

In the flexible learning mode, the activities can be done in two ways: (1)
synchronous and (2) asynchronous.
An online chat at real time is Synchronous session. Course participants meet in
a virtual classroom and discuss a topic in the lesson. So, wherever they are situated in the
world, they agree on a scheduled session and log in to join the live class. The LMS has
this feature. The teacher called as the online tutor facilitates the discussion. Ideas are
posted in an actual live class. One cannot lecture and take all the time in explaining. In
this mode, the course participants are made to be engaged in the flow of discussion that
is why, the online tutor has to plan out the instruction guide in facilitating the discourse.
Using the Skype in holding a live class is another example. Members of the class
log-in in their Skype account at a given time to join the video conferencing.
Another important feature is the Asynchronous session. This is when questions

or tasks are posted and course participants, answer the question or post. their reply at
any time most convenient to them. They can still participate in the discussion by replying
to the post. One advantage is that you can take your time when replying. The LMS
mentioned in this lesson has a feature that can allow an asynchronous session.
In the image map, there is a column of icon labeled as LIVE CLASS and FORUM.
If you click the LIVE CLASS it will lead you to enter the virtual classroom to attend -the
synchronous session while the icon labelled FORUM is responsible for allowing class
participants to join the asynchronous sessions.
If you do not use any of the learning management system, asynchronous

discussion can be in the form of a blog or even a video blog (vblog). A topic of great
importance is discussed by the bloggers who can be the teacher or any of the class
members. Since it is openly accessible, anyone from the class once informed about it can
respond or comment on it and which can also be responded to by the other blogger. The
process creates a thread. This is like an actual face-to-face discussion or an online chat
but the response and comments posted may take a short while. Nevertheless, revisiting
the FORUM or the BLOG is needed to read the reaction of others.
Blended Learning
Another way of handling flexible learning is by combining modalities of instructional
delivery. Blended learning is a combination of a learning activities wherein a part of the
lesson is delivered online while the other part is handled in actual physical setting of a
classroom.
Kinds of Blended Learning
1. Model 1: Face-to-Face Driver

In the face-to-face model, the teacher delivers the curricula most of the time
and utilizes online learning at certain •times with the purpose to augment or provide
an alternative experience. Instruction is provided in a computer laboratory or
assigned tasks are uploaded online:
2. Model 2: Rotation
In a particular course or subject, students rotate on a fixed schedule
between learning online in a one-to-one, self-paced learning environment and
being inside the classroom with a face-to-face teacher. This is the model that is in
between the traditional face-to-face learning and online learning.
3. Model 3: Flex
This model uses an online platform that delivers most of the course.
Support to learning is provided as needed through on-site support or by an online
tutor who facilitates the tutorial or small group sessions. Sessions can be arranged
into synchronous or asynchronous. Course participants may work om their tasks
at any convenient long as it is within the confines of the course duration.
4. Model 4: Online Lab

The online-lab model uses an online platform in delivering the course but
located in a physical classroom or computer laboratory. Since the lessons are in
modular format and available in the online program, teacher assistants supervise
these classes. However, they may not provide the needed expertise if *learners
seek assistance. Furthermore, students Who are enrolled in an Online Lab model
of blended learning may be enrolled in a traditional classroom courses at the same
time and therefore have block schedules.
5. Model 5: Self-Blend
The self-blend Model is a system provided by the school where the
students can choose the courses they Would like to have in addition to their typical
brick-and-mortar classroom classes. This model is always remote - a major
difference from the Online Lab.
6. Model 6: Online Driver

The online-driver model utilizes a platform and a teacher that delivers all
curricula. Students remotely work on their program most of the time. If ever there
is a face-to-face component, it is made optional or if ever it is required for the
students to go to the physical learning environment such as in a school, then it can
be extracurricular activities augmenting the curriculum.
Planning and managing blended learning experiences are very similar to planning
and managing a brick-and-mortar school with courses or subjects integrating technology.
It needs to be system-wide as the school makes a plan, develops guidelines for students
to follow for the use of technology in a blended format and provide a resource guide. A lot
of preparation is needed in designing a blended format. Technology has to be prepared.
The back-end and front-end infrastructures of blended learning have to be put in place as
well as the content in varied multimedia formats. Teachers and teacher assistants who will
act as online tutors and assistants need to be pedagogically capacitated.
Online Communities of Learning / Social Networking

When we consider online networking, internet users immediately refer to
Facebook. Everybody seems to have a Facebook account and uses this to communicate.
If in the teaching and learning situation, you work on infonnation, data and collaborate
with classmates, friends, teachers and other members of society, then social networking
can also be appropriately employed as an educational tool.
What is Networking
When productive relationships are cultivated, networking works best. A network
is defined as that group of individuals who communicates and connects on a regular
basis. If an individual has a personal network of people, one can tap on the potential
contacts for social, educational or professional purposes.
They say that there is a great need to connect because whom one knows matters.
Sometimes one needs to link with them because they have what one needs. However,
the challenge is how to shift the network from people who can provide the favors into
establishing the relationship that will entitle him or her to be called 'a friend', one who can
be trusted as a collaborator in working on an assigned task by the teacher.
Social Networking Platforms

Different ways to communicate with friends can be through the internet or
mobile devices. One can have a personal page where a profile can be built in a
social networking site. Through this site, one con contact friends or share
resources and interests. Communication through a chat format can either be one-
on-one or in a group. Topics being discussed can be posted and made known
therefore read by many or it can be discreet through a direct chat - a feature
allowing one to have a certain privacy on matters considered as such.
Social networking services have been evolving for more than a decade. Initially,
these social networking services allowed users to construct their personal profile so that
other contacts may know the relevant information about them. At present, these have now
evolved to sharing of multimedia resources. Even having immediate and direct contact
with friends in real time is easily accessible through these sites.
There are varied platforms available where one can create a personal account.
Some of these popular social networking sites include Facebook, MySpace, Twitter,
Flicker, Youtube, and Linkedln among others.
Facebook apparently is the biggest social networking site founded in 2004

based in Menlo Park, California. The most popular social network apparently is
Facebook. Used by most people, it allows users to post their profile, blogs, pictures
and videos. Facebook lets one share status updates, news articles with friends and
family. Although it started as a way for college students to connect and socialize, it
expanded its services allowing people ages 13 and up to use a Facebook account for
personal or even business reasons.
Twitter does not only provide social networking service but it

also gives online news. Breaking news has taken a new twist with this
social network website. Friends or colleagues may tell that they saw
the breaking news on Twitter.
Twitter is the site where users post and interact with
messages called "tweets," restricted only to 140 characters. Only
registered users can post tweets, but those who are not can only read them. One of the
main features of Twitter is it enables people to post their thoughts immediately. Founded
in 2006, Twitter is based in San Francisco, California, United States.
Linkedln is another social networking website for work. When

one is trying to find a job and may not have contacts, Linkedln helps one
search for career connections. It may contain one's resume for potential
employers to see.
The website lets one upload his educational qualifications, skills, work history, and
relevant experiences. One's connections can even endorse and this helps employers who
can message the one concerned and talk about the possibility of employment.
Launched in 2003, this is a popular social site in the professional world.
Google + is designed to be a total communication social network.
Launched in 2011, Google is its parent and it is more advantageous if it is kept as

a browser for users are connected even if they are outside Google+ site. Users can make
friends and remained up to date with old friends without leaving their Gmail account.
To distinguish connection, Google+ creates circles and the four standard circles
refer to friends, family, acquaintances and those being followed. Users can actuall create
as many circles as they intend.
Youtube is an American video-sharing website where users can upload, view and
even share video clips or multimedia productions. It is a free
social network site to join and use. Since it is owned
by Googles YouTube prefers a Google account to
make it easier and streamlined. Some people think
that YouTube is not a social network. It is such as it
allows the users to share personal videos, view other
uploaded multimedia clips and make connections with friends and acquaintances. Just
like with other social networking sites, users can either make their videos private or public.
Based in San Bruno, California, the service was created in February 2005.
Pinterest is another social media tool that like YouTube, is often thought
of as otherwise. Pinterest was designed as a catalogue of ideas or project ideas
by its founder Ben Silberman. This is an excellent choice for those who have a
passion for creativity. Users must have an account to use Pinterest. An email
account or a Facebook account can be used in signing up to Pinterest, and if
users will use Facebook, their wall would be ready to post pins without linking
with Facebook.
Instagram is platform where users share visual stories. This

system allows users to post photos with captions allowing followers to like
or comment on one's posts. Photos shared have a wide range 1M of
coverage - trips, food, business products. Since the site is free, advertisers
can use Instagram to reach a wide and are follower base. Instagram
account can be private or made public. It is the best social networking site
for photography.
Tumblr is a networking site that combines social media and

blogging. Its main goal is to simplify social media and blogging. Users
can post whatever they like such as photos, videos, quotes, music,
links. This is a social media that makes it very easy and straight forward
to anything.
MySpace is another popular social networking website where

members can make friends, post blogs and photos, videos. It was acquired
by Specific Media in 2011 and based in Beverly Hills California. MySpace
had its dose of crisis but came back stronger and rebranded to focus on
music. Personal users can use MySpace to keep up with their favorite
artists, have an update on the music industry, see what their friends are
listening to, and connect With people who have Similar music preferences.
It is a fitting social networking website for music.
Flickr (pronounced "flicker") is an image and video hosting

website that was created by Ludicorp in 2004 and acquired by flickr
Yahoo. It offers massive online photo storage.
Bebo is a social networking website with the backronym "Blog Early,

Blog Often". It was invented to answer the question what the name meant. It
was founded by husband-and-wife team Michel and Xochi Birch in January
2005 at their home in San Francisco.
With the fast development and vast coverage of innovations that address the
mediated communicative needs in the virtual reality, it is expected that there will be more
interactive features of social networking sites that will be readily available for the users in
the upcoming days.
The Benefits of Using Social Networking Sites

Using social -networking websites opens an array of benefits for users. The world
has become a global village through connectivity. The connection has transcended space
and borders. Getting connected to family and friends is now just a few clicks away. It is an
easy access to keeping in touch with friends, or keeping tabs on family. It provides
opportunities for making friends with others who share similar interests and passion.
A major advantage of social networking websites is that they provide information.

News and views of others around the world can be easily accessed instantly at one's
fingertips. It easily allows one to transmit information or update *€contacts on what one
thinks or how now feels.
Social networking websites can support 'learning or augment educational

activities. Young learners are well-acquainted with social networking sites and regard
them as just a part of the day-to-day activities and school-related discussions. Even after
school period, learners can continually connect as they collaborate to accomplish a task
or homework using a social networking website. Announcements on assignments or
instructions for the upcoming work can be conveniently delivered to concerned individuals
through the social networking sites.
The Dangers of Using Social Networking Sites

Just as there are benefits of having an account in a social networking site or using
it in the teaching and learning contexts, there are risks to consider as well. Teachers as
well as parents are wary of youngsters using social networking sites due to many negative
publicity and real incidents connected to the wrong use of social networking websites.
One major risk is making friends with strangers who may actually be a predator a
cyberbully. No one initially recognizes the true nature of an acquaintance or one who
seemingly poses as a friend. Sometimes, a youngster gets bullied by others who may not
even be connected as friends in a social networking website. There are also trolls who
actually instigate conflict, misunderstanding or emotional response by eliciting anger or ill
feelings from other users through social media. They post messages that are inflammatory
or controversial. Topping these risks is also the danger of users getting hooked on internet
and may learn to ignore the real world. Their ability to socialize is incapacitated as they
devote hours or days on gaming or using the computer manifesting abuse to themselves.
That is why teachers and parents or guardians are protective to the extent of disallowing
youngsters to use the internet and social networking sites without realizing that such act
denies the opportunity to explore the educational potential it can serve.
Safeguarding Oneself when Engaging in Social Networking Sites

You need to understand and take precautionary measures to safeguard yourself
in social networking websites.
Networking can be confined and monitored within the school system. Students can
use social networking platforms designed for educational purposes that will allow students
to post, share and discuss insights gained from an activity. Some of these sites are
SuperClubs Plus, Learner Journey, ScuttlePad, among others. One drawback, however,
is that sometimes youngsters are not enticed to use these social networking platforms
because they are not as attractive as Facebook or Twitter. When young users prefer to
use a social networking website that is outside of the school's system, teach them to stay
safe through some precautionary measures:
1. A social networking account has passwords and log-in details. Secure

passwords and keep them private.
2. Log out every time you use public computers.
3. Regularly check privacy settings of social networking websites so that only direct
friends or those particularly known can see the posts.
4. Online posts are saved and may become a permanent part of their online
reputation. As you use the internet, you leave a digital footprint which can be
traced back to you.
5. Do not accept invites from contacts unless you know them personally or you
are sure of their identity.
6. Seriously consider the effect of possible posts on others before deciding to do

so. If posts (i.e. text, picture, video) could be considered offensive or humiliating
another person, then you refraip from posting or uploading it.
7. Using appropriate language is esSential. The tone when communicating or

sending social networking messages should be respectful.
8. Better be safe than sorry. You should accept friends and connections when you
are sure of person's identity. Personally meeting someone you only met online
is discouraged. Even if the sincerity of having a personal meeting looks
convincing, it would be better if you will be accompanied.
9. When there is an indication of harassment or abuse, it is advised that you report

this by clicking the report button of abuse. It is better still to talk to friends or
trusted adults about the case.
10. Bullying takes place even in social networking websites. Cyberbullying uses the
site's messages, updates, and other functions to harass, intimidate, humiliate,
taunt, or pick on the individual. When this happens, you can do the following
actions:
a. ignore the behavior by not responding at all;
b. block the person;
c. click the report button of abuse; or
d. talk to a trustworthy adult about it.
Connecting with friends and having an active life on social networking websites
have its rewards. However, when one is not taking precautionary steps, there is also
imminent danger. It is more beneficial if you understand both its potential and its pitfalls.
When used properly and in the right measure, it can bring more benefits, Only then can
social networking sites •lead to one's growth and ensure a productive social life.
Lesson 2: Online Resources, Educational Sites and Portals
"When you know, What you know and do not know, that is true knowledge." -Confucius
In planning a day's lesson, there is a wide range of references that can be used to
relate well with learners of this age. Online sources, sites and portals suggest tools and
describe how they can be used to engage learners.
Take a look at the image below and identify the iPad apps, android apps and Web
Tools. Have you checked any of these? Which one will you utilize and in which class of
learners can use them? How will you employ the tool in your lesson?
Source 3https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jKNJPommZFw/WPgKFHM4HtI/AAAAAAAA4uM/
Nvb2cL_eXC8aBZQ16nThqWy01O4xyDYXwCLcB/s1600/1.png
Educational Sites and portals

A lot of information is found in the net. These can be explored and studied to
determine their relevance to the lesson. There are concerned parties that host educational
services through websites and portals. Like a door, the portal opens to a virtual room
where activities, tools, applications, articles provide ideas and suggest Ways on the use
of technology tools.
One example that can be further explored is Educational Technology and Mobile
Learning. This blog site is a rich repository of tools and applications assembled and
curated for teachers and educators by teachers. They evidently understand the
pedagogical needs, hence, the arrangement of categories with corresponding suggested
sites or tools and even applications for android or iPads. Tools, applications, ed tech
charts, books, links and many more are found in categories arranged by subject area or
competency.
Source 4https://www.educatorstechnology.com/2017/02/the-ultimate-edtech-chart-for-teachers.html
The administrator of this site allows users to download, print and share the
materials just as long as proper citation is done and that the materials are shared free of
charge. If you are interested in implementing Free Educational Technology in the
classroom, the administrator highly encourages you to share this blog site.
What is the right mindset of a teacher in using the digital tool?

With the fast-paced development of technology, educational sites, portals, or
applications, change is inevitable. Working on a particular tool at the moment will for sure
change, as designers continually work to upgrade the features and design the tool to
integrate new aspects. This is expected. That is why, knowing a digital tool and its features
may not be enough because there is a tendency of it evolving through time.
As you prepare to become a teacher by learning how to utilize these digital .tools,
you need to have the right mindset or a way of thinking how these tools can be effectively
integrated in the lesson. A lot of teachers may find it daunting to use a technology tool in
a lesson. The anxiety to explore the possibility can be overwhelming, but for one who has
the openness to learn and continuously study the features of the tool can possibly lead
to a more productive way of designing a technology-enhanced lesson.
Hold on to the positive attitude and openness to learn, Nurture the curiosity and
sustain (lie passion to improve practice. Persevere as you learn to adapt to the evolving
digital tool.
Once you get the habit of exploring the tools perhaps taking one step at a time and
expanding your ideas on how to creatively use the appropriate tool in a class, you will
eventually see your transformation as a teacher who is becoming more relevant and
effective in teaching content while at the same time develop learners' capacity to be
creative and think critically, and become collaborative and effective communicators in the
21st century.
