 The Practical Online Learning
Terminologies
Designed for Parents & Guardians in the Philippines Created by the
EduRescue School EdTech Response Team (SERT)
 The common meaning is connected to
the internet, “I’m now taking my class
online” or “My teacher is already
online”. It can also refer to your
activities on the internet, “I’m doing
online shopping on Lazada”

Online
 This means disconnected - usually from
the internet. In education, offline may
also mean not needing the internet, for
example “We will conduct an offline
assessment of the students”. It is also
used to describe the state of the system of
an institution, “Sorry po, offline po ang
system namin” Sometimes, filipinos use
the word “down” as an alternative to
offline, “Good news, hindi na po down
Offline ang internet sa school pwede niyo na ma-
access ang Wifi”
 There are many ways people use Face-
to-Face or F2F in education, however
the most common and, in our opinion,
is the correct definition is being in a
classroom setting where student share
physical space - just like the traditional
classroom. Example, “Ok class that
ends our online session today,

Face-to-Face tomorrow we will have a face-to-face

session to do some hands-on

(F2F) activities.”
 This means at the same time or “sabay-
sabay”. Can be used as “Synchronous
Learning” or “Synchronous Session”.
Another way to describe this is “live” -
just like watching your favorite
noontime show or a concert. A
synchronous learning session would
require the teacher and the students to
meet online at the same time. For

Synchronous example, “Announcement Grade 7

English will have a synchronous session
tomorrow at 9am, please check your
online calendars for details.”
 This means “at different times” or
“hindi sabay sabay”. Another term used
in education is “self-paced” where
students can work on lessons on their
own time. There is no need to schedule
anything except for deadlines. “Good
morning class, I have posted online
your second asynchronous module. You
have until next monday to complete it.”
Asynchronous
 This means the education of students
may not always be physically present
at a school - this can be partially or
completely. There are many ways to
conduct distance education and it can
be online or offline. For example, “Due
to the ECQ, schools will conduct
distance education which will have

Distance both online and offline learning

modules.”

Learning
 This is a combination of face-to-face and
distance learning that is online.
Sometimes the class will have days that
are face-to-face in the campus and there
will be times they are online. There are
many ways to implement blended
learning, but for our purposes this
definition will suffice for now. It is also
sometimes referred to as hybrid distance
learning. Here is an example of an article
in inquirer.net on blended learning,
“Briones: Philippines used to blended
Blended Learning learning”.
 This means, “the way it is done or
experienced”. Modality is widely used
in different industries but in education,
it means how learning is experienced.
This headline from inquirer.net is an
example, “DepEd to conduct ‘remote’
enrollment; parents to select preferred
learning modality”

Modality
Online Learning

Online learning is any form of learning

conducted partly or wholly over the
Internet. So online learning is not a
brand or a system, online learning is a
description of how learning is done.
Therefore this is a modality.
