DISTANCE EDUCATION
 Distance Education
(Distance Learning, Open Learning, E-learning,
Online Learning Or Web-based Learning.)

O Education where teachers and students are

separated in the place and time. The gap between
the two can be bridged through the technology.
Particularly those relying on computers, audio or
video technology as the medium of delivery and,
sometimes, for two-way instruction.
O A field of education that focuses on the pedagogy
and andragogy technology, and instructional systems
design that aim to deliver education to students who
are not physically on site.
 Distance Education
(Distance Learning, Open Learning, E-learning,
Online Learning Or Web-based Learning.)
O Education that takes place when the instructor and
student are separated by space and/or time. The gap

mode of education in which students enrolled in a coarse

may submit assignments by mail or e-mail.
O Instructional programs or courses in which the instructor
and students need not be in the same physical place,
particularly those relying on computers, audio, or video
technology as the medium for delivery and, sometimes, for
two-way interaction.
 Distance Education
(Distance Learning, Open Learning, E-learning,
Online Learning Or Web-based Learning.)

O Provides learning opportunities to individual learners

and groups who not may not have the chance and
time to attend formal schooling of face-to-face
instruction due to , physical disabilities, ailment, work
early marriage, etc..
 Characteristics of Distance Learning

O Provides learning opportunities to individual

learners and groups who may not have the
chance and time to attend formal schooling.
O Learner – centered.
O Provides learning packages designed for self-
directed learning utilizing various media,
multi- media and other new technologies.
O Has an organizational structure and clear
institutional systems.
Advantage of Distance Education
O Distance education does not require
commuting.
O You can complete most of the classes at
your convenience.
O Live anywhere, study from anywhere
while pursuing the education of your
choice.
O Gain extra knowledge
Advantage of Distance Education

O Self-paced learning.
O Accessibility.
O Convenience and flexibility.
O Individualized Instruction.
O Vast Resource Readily
Available.
 Interaction and Technology in
Distance Education
O Interaction in a traditional classroom is
much different than the interaction that
occurs in distance education. Distance
education programs mix instructional
technologies with strategies to help the
learners interact with the instructional
content.
 Four types of Interaction
Learner
Learner Content

Learner Instructor

Learner learner

Technology/
Learner System
SYNCHRONOUS VS. ASYNCHRONOUS
INTERACTION

O Computer-based instruction may be

synchronous, as when computer
conferences are held at pre-
established times via chat technologies,
or it maybe asynchronous as when
learners retrieve instructional materials
via the internet and act on them at their
convenience.
Distance Education in DepEd
O Open High School Program (OHSP)
O Alternative Learning System (ALS)
 Open High School Program
(OHSP)
O The OHSP is an alternative mode of
secondary education that uses distance
learning. It caters to learners who are
unable to attend the regular class program
due to physical impairment, work, financial
difficulties, distance of home to school,
and other justifiable and legitimate
reasons.
O The open High School Program was
designed originally as an alternative
learning system for those who are unable
to start or complete secondary education
due to problems of:
O Time
O Distance
O Education design
O Physical impairment
O Financial difficulties
 Nature of the Open High School
Program Objectives
O Provides opportunity to all elementary graduates, high
school drop-outs, and successful examinees of the
Philippine Educational Placement Test (PEPT) to
complete secondary education;
O Prevents potential school leavers and encourages
those who are out of school to finish secondary
education;
O Reduces high school drop outs and increases
participation rate; and
O Increase achievement rate through quality distance
education.
 Who can participate in the
program?
O The program is open to all public
or private secondary schools.
 What are the requirements for
participation?
O 1. Submit a Letter of Intent (LOI) addressed to the Schools
Division Superintendent (SDS), copy furnished the Regional
Office and the Director of the Bureau of Secondary Education
(BSE).
O 2. Undergo a capacity building program to be conducted by the
BSE in preparation for accreditation as a participating school.
O 3. Make available learning facilities and equipment in the
school e.g., library, computer room, laboratory room, workshop
room, gymnasium, etc.
O 4. Link with the community for the students’ access to facilities
like public library, barangay learning centre, internet cafe,
public sports facilities and those that will help the students in
their self-managed learning.

 How Does ALS Work?
O Students who are interested in enrolling in
an ALS class are encouraged to visit
Community Learning Centres (CLCs). Oral
and written tests will be given to assess the
student’s/pupil’s competency level.
Applicants who have not attended any
formal schooling before will be enrolled in
Basic Literacy Program where basic reading
and computing skills will be taught before
moving them to advanced classes.
 How Does ALS Work?
O classes takes a minimum of 800 hours to complete (8-10
months). The process of integration starts with the
students attending a 10 month learning and review
session conducted by the Mobile Teacher. After
completion, performance are assessed in preparation for
the Accreditation and Equivalency Test (or A&E) that will
be given to these students. Passers of either the
Elementary or Secondary Level gets a certificate which
bears the signature of the Secretary of the Department of
Education. This allows a passer to be integrated into
formal education and also gives them the chance to enrol
for a college degree or technical courses.
Options and Opportunities for
ALS Passers
O Can enrol for college Enter TESDA/Technical
Schools Enter other non-formal training
programs Enter Formal training programs
Look for work opportunities Enrol or re-enrol
in formal elementary or secondary
education.
