 Who is Qualified for ALS

ALS is intended for out-of-school

youth and adults who are 16 years
old or older and beyond basic
school age that need basic
literacy skills particularly in
reading, writing and simple
computation.
 What does ALS offers?
The Alternative Learning System (ALS)
is a parallel learning system in the
Philippines that provides opportunities
for out-of-school youth and adult
(OSYA) learners to develop basic and
functional literacy skills, and to access
equivalent pathways to complete basic
education.
 Benefits of ALS
Under the law, the ALS program is
expanded and strengthened to
provide increased opportunities for
out-of-school children in special cases
and adult learners, including
indigenous peoples, to develop basic
and functional literacy and life skills,
and pursue an equivalent pathway to
complete basic education.
 Advantage of ALS
ALS enrollees who pass the
accreditation and equivalency (A&E)
exam receive a government
credential that can facilitate access
to higher education, vocational,
training and overall better
employment prospects. The
number of ALS learners being
reached by the program has
increased.
Distance Learning Program
 
A distance learning course is simply
an educational course that is
delivered remotely, meaning that
students can complete some or all of
their coursework without having to be
physically present in a classroom on
any campus.
Different Types of Distance Learning

1. Synchronous distance learning

It is learning that involves live
communication classroom, or even
teleconferencing. It is one of the most
acclaimed distance learning types.
 
Different Types of Distance Learning

2. Asynchronous distance learning –

It is a type of learning that has a strict
sets of deadlines, often a weekly time
limit; however, it allows learners to learn
at their own pace. It is also one of the
most popular distance learning types
because students can communicate
with each other seamlessly through
online notice/bulletin boards.
Different Types of Distance Learning
3. Hybrid distance learning- hybrid
distance learning combines
asynchronous and synchronous learning
to form a structure where learners are
required to meet at particular time in an
internet chat-room. 
 
 
Different Types of Distance Learning

4. Electronic learning- Electronic

learning is one of the most popular
distance learning types, often known as
e-learning, which enables learners to
access course materials on a computer.
DVDs, CDs, and different computer
based tools are always used to deliver
electronic learning courses.
Different Types of Distance Learning

5.Fixed time online courses- are a

type of synchronous course that
requires online users to all visit a
specific virtual location at a set time
and place
(e.g. webinar)
 
 Key Benefits of Distance Learning
 
1. Flexibility- allows students to earn a degree without living near a
college campus.
 
2. Affordability- low cost or cheaper
 
3. Personal Growth- distance students gain other important
transferable skills, including time management, research, written
communication, leadership, and experience, utilizing a variety of
technology used in education.
 
4. Networking – broader networking opportunities
 
Perhaps the most immediately obvious advantage of distance
education is the next level of flexibility it provides for students. In
general, remote learning tends to require more independent study
and because modern distance education is usually online-based,
students have more control over both when and where they study.
