LECTURE & DISCUSSION
PART I
RATIONALE
• The emergence of COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented
disruptions in the lives of people all over the world. It came so
unexpectedly where no one was ready enough to brace its impact to
society.
• With the implementation of community quarantine, conduct of
classes needed to be immediately suspended. The enormous
challenge then was how to continue teaching and learning beyond
the usual face to face instruction.
WHAT IS A MODULE?
Course

Module 1 Module 2 Module 3 Module 4 Module 5 Module 6 Module 7 Module 8

• A module can be defined as a unit, chapter, topic, lesson or segment

of instruction. It is a “self-contained” chunk of instruction, which
means that it can facilitate learning even without the presence or the
teacher.
• One week is a common module length, but it can be shorter or longer
depending upon content and your teaching style.
