LESSON 1: LEARNING RESOURCE MAPS FOR DISTANCE LEARNING

 ACTIVITY 1

1. Based on the map, what resources should you have in order to implement the LDM
adopted by your School/Division?
Based on the learning resources map,
our school adopted and implemented the
Printed Modular Distance Learning. Hence,
printed self-learning materials and activity
sheets are the resources that we are going to
utilize. These resources in these LDMs
(modules) are readily available and accessible
from Kinder up to Grades 12.

2. Do you have the complete resources for the Distance LDM needed in class? If the LRs
are not complete or not available, what steps will you take to make these available?
What are your options to substitute these missing LRs?
No, our school does not have yet a
complete resource for the distance learning
delivery modalities. Currently, we’re in the
process of reviewing the SLMs. Some teachers
utilize the use of LR Portals like LRMDS and
DepEd Commons to find useful and effective
LRs to supplement the SLMs if needed. If the
LRs are not available, teachers are opt to make
or craft Learning Activity Sheets/Worksheets
following the standards or format set by the
division office.

3. What support will you need to maximize the use of the two DepEd-sanctioned LR
Portals? From whom can you get this support?

To maximize the use of the two DepEd-

sanctioned LR portals, a strong and stable
internet connection the primary need to access
these online portals. The teachers who are not
registered yet, need to be oriented and assisted
on how to make their own accounts and access
these portals. We can tap the support of
stakeholders and IT experts in the field to
ensure the quality and appropriateness of the

4. Based on your evaluation of the materials, are they appropriate to the level and
characteristics of learners? Are there learners who might be disadvantaged by the
materials (based on reading ability, level of learning independence, level of household
support, distance)? What adjustments will you make in terms of the LRs?

Based on evaluating the materials that was

distributed by DepEd, we found out that the
level of difficulties of the materials were
appropriate to the learner’s level of thinking.
However, since mother tongue is a part of the
curriculum of the K-12 education, there is a
need to translate and contextualized the
learning materials.
 When it comes to learners reading ability
and learners comprehension, it would be a
disadvantage for the learners because the LR
from national has a lot of reading to do.
In order to reach the reading level of the
pupils, we need to simply the LR by giving
easier and more examples of activities.

ACTIVITY 2

In your LAC Session, share and discuss your answers from the previous activity. What
support can you provide to your colleagues and what support can you get from them in terms
of LRs? Take note of the insights that you can gather from your colleagues and write them in
your Study Notebook.

We have agreed to provide immediate

technical assistance to each other when we
encounter problems in accessing online portals
for LRs. We also came up to a consensus to
share updates and useful tools and knowledge
about more sources whether offline or online
sources of LRs to suffice the needs for
additional useful LRs.

LESSON 2: ACCESSING LEARNING RESOURCES FROM DepEd

PORTALS
ACTIVITY 1

Explore the Portals. In your Study Notebook, answer the following questions:
1. Given the LDM adopted in your School, how can the two DepEd portals respond to
your LR needs and those of your learners’? How do they complement the LRs that you
already have?

The LRMDS and DepEd Common portals

provide supplementary materials to our SLMs
that we can download, improve and adjust to
meet the needs of all our learners. It gives
variety of learning activities to complement the
existing LRs I have prepared.

2. What are the challenges in accessing the LRs in the portals both for you and your
learners? How will you overcome these challenges?
The biggest challenge in accessing these
portals is a poor or very slow internet
connection. The alternative way is to find some
place where the signal reception is better.

3. What support will you need to be able to maximize the use of the LR Portals? From
whom can you get this support?

A good and stable internet connection is

a primary need in accessing these online
portals. Support from the stakeholders, fellow
educators, superiors and IT experts are needed
to ensure the quality and appropriateness of
 ACTIVITY 2

In your next LAC Session, share and discuss your answers to the questions in Activity 1.
Explore how you can help and support each other in using the LR portals. Jot down the
insights and helpful information regarding the use of the LR portals in your Study Notebook.

 Organize a LAC session in accessing LR

portals.
 Collaborate with teachers and help them in
registering and creating accounts in the Two
DepEd Portals
 Technical Assistance in manipulating
gadgets and in accessing or downloading
LR’s from the portals.

LESSON 3: ASSESSING THE LR MATERIALS

ACTIVITY 1

Study the LR Rapid Assessment Tool. Download an LR from either DepEd Commons or
LRMDS Portal and assess the material using the tool. Answer the following questions in your
Study Notebook:
1. Was the material able to meet all the requirements?
The download LR material met the learning targets of the lesson. The LR has the
basic standards required to deliver the MELCs.

2. Were there any questions in the assessment tool where you answered “No” or “Cannot
Be Determined”? What decision will you make on the LR material? Why?
The evaluation method has achieved the quality and reliability of the activities to
manipulate and optimize the use of the LR portal.

3. Are there other aspects of the material not covered by the tool but still need to be
assessed? Specify which aspect/s.
The learning material covered the lesson but require some description and
terminology to achieve the best understanding of the concepts.

4. How does this exercise help you in picking the right and appropriate LRs for your
lesson and your learners?
Understanding the management of this LR Portals, this gives me the confidence
and motivation to look for the most appropriate learning resources to my learners.

ACTIVITY 2

Explore other non-DepEd LR portals/platforms you can find online. Take note of the portals
in your Study Notebook. Download at least one LR from each portal. Assess the materials
using the same tool and answer the following questions in your Study Notebook:
1. Based on the Assessment Tool, how does the material from a non-DepEd Portal
compare with the LR from the DepEd Portal?
 The resources are not quality assured and only provide minimal support to attain
the learning objectives for the students.

2. Based on the results of the Assessment Tool, what improvements do the materials —
both from DepEd and Non DepEd portals — still need?
A more precise and easier to follow instructions can be developed. Upload more
additional resources to meet all the learners’ needs and levels of understanding.

3. How does this exercise help you in picking the right and appropriate LRs for your
lesson and your learners?
Understanding the management of this LR Portals, this gives me the confidence
and motivation to look for the most appropriate learning resources to my learners.

ACTIVITY 3

Choose one of the LR materials that you have developed. Assess this material using the same
tool. Answer the following questions in Your Study Notebook:

1. How does your material compare with the ones that are obtained from the online
portals?
The material needs more precision and quality assurance.

2. What improvements do you still need to make in your developed material?

The complexity of contents to meet the learning needs of my students.
