Understanding Syn… Distance Learning is not a linear approach, thus employing online methods require strategic implementation. There are a lot of ways to
reach your students and curate your online lessons in a more creative way. Such is also the case in synchronous and asynchronous

accordingly.

Final Assessment
1. Prepare. Define your objectives first and see which part of the topic would be suitable for synchronous or asynchronous learning. Create
students’ profiles and gather some data about their Internet access and available devices. In the times of school disruption, you might want
to employ more asynchronous activities, so that those who may have difficulty accessing the web may find some time and resources to
access. Identify appropriate platforms to use for your online discussion and make sure that your students are oriented on how to use it.
Also, make sure that you collaborate with your co-teachers and coordinate with them regarding their class calendar to avoid conflicting
schedules.
2. Implement. Make sure that your materials are prepared. You are doing online learning—whether synchronous or asynchronous—involves
lesson planning and careful consideration of your students’ learning path. Divide the lessons and don’t make a mistake to upload bulks of
materials online, hoping for your students to read all of them by themselves.
3. Evaluate. Remember that feedback is essential for engagement and participation, so don’t forget to provide it and even ask it from your
students as well. This will be more effective if done regularly. Remember that the first implementation will not be perfect, and it is okay. What
you can do is improve what needs to be improved in the next phases. You may also find that the platform you use is not working for you and
your students. There are a lot of online websites that you can still utilize. Be resourceful.
Allow yourself to be a beginner. Your first online learning attempt may not be perfect, and it is fine. What you can do is improve what needs
to be improved in the next phases. You may also find that the platform you use is not working for you and your students. There are a lot of
online websites that you can still utilize. Be patient and resourceful.
