MODULE 3B: LEARNING RESOURCES

LESSON 1: LEARNING RESOURCE MAPS FOR DISTANCE LEARNING

ACTIVITY 1.

The DepEd Memorandum on Suggested Strategies in Implementing LDMs for SY 2020-2021

included the Learning Resources (LR) Map as a guide in selecting the appropriate Distance
LDM to be implemented in Schools/Divisions. Study this map and answer the following
questions in your Study Notebook:

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, the Printed Modular Distance Learning
and Blended distance Learning are the adopted strategies and to be implemented
at public schools here in our Division Office. It is because that the 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?
 Aside from the modules coming from the central and our division office, our
schools do not have yet a complete resource for the distance learning delivery
modalities.
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?

 In order to fill-up the missing learning resources, we can use the two DepEd
portals: the LRMDS and Commons to search for the following LR and also, to
substitute the missing LR by collaborating to the teachers we will make/write a
module/worksheet by following the format given by our division

3. What support will you need to maximize the use of the two DepEd-sanctioned
LR Portals? From whom can you get this support?
 Because learning must be reinforced, using the learning portals is very
important to supplement the missing LRs. We need support to orient the teachers
on how to register on the portals. We also need a support in providing the school
with a better and stable internet connection. In order to achieve these: we can
accept donations form generous stake holders, from the LGU’s and officials.

4. Based on your evaluation of the materials, are they appropriate to the level and
characteristics of learners?
 Through the evaluation of the materials that was distributed by DepEd, we
found out that the level of difficulties of the materials were appropriate to the
student’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.
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?
 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 lots of
reading to do.
 In order to reach the reading level of the pupils, we need to low down the
difficulties of 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.
 Organize a LAC session in Learning delivery modalities.
 Collaborate to teachers and help them in the register in the Two DepEd Portals
 Have a division of work in making/writing modules/worksheets.
 Brainstorming about LDM
 Technical Assistance
Good job! You are now done with Lesson 1. Proceed to Lesson 2 to learn how to access LRs
from DepEd Portals.

LESSON 2: ACCESSING LEARNING RESOURCES FROM DepEd PORTALS

ACTIVITY 1. Establish access to the following portals:

1. LRMDS Portal. Ensure that you have an LRMDS Portal Account. If you have not
registered yet, follow the LR Portal User Guide to guide you in your registration
process. Alternatively, seek assistance from any of your colleagues or your IT
personnel in your school, district, or division. You may also coordinate with your LAC
Leader and/or Coach. To understand the portal better, you may watch the LR Portal
Video Tutorial located in the resources of this Course.
 Register and create and account in LRMDS

2. DepEd Commons. Ensure that you have access to DepEd Commons. Refer to
Memorandum on DepEd Commons dated March 17, 2020.
 Register and create and account in DepEd Commons
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’?
 Teachers can use the two DepEd portals to search and download LRs
How do they complement the LRs that you already have?
 Teachers can use it as a supplementary materials in filling out the missing LR’s
to our LDM.

2. What are the challenges in accessing the LRs in the portals both for you and your
learners? How will you overcome these challenges?
 lack of gadgets
 unstable internet,
 financial burden to parents in paying data load for internet connection.
 Learners’/parents’ limited technical knowledge in operating the portals(DepEd
Common)
3. What support will you need to be able to maximize the use of the LR Portals? From
whom can you get this support?
 Seek assistance to LGU’s, accept donations for internet connections, save and
give a copy of supplementary materials to parents.

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 to teachers and help them in the register in the Two DepEd Portals
 Technical Assistance in operating gadgets in and downloading LR’s from the portals.

Good job! You are done with Lesson 2. You may now proceed to Lesson 3

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?

 Yes, the material was able to meet all the requirements.

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?
 Based on the assessment there were no answers “No” or “Cannot Be
Determined”

3. Are there other aspects of the material not covered by the tool but still need to be
assessed? Specify which aspect/s.
 In my own perspective, there are no aspects of the that is not covered.

4. How does this exercise help you in picking the right and appropriate LRs for your
lesson and your learners?
 The use of Rapid Assessment Tool help us to assess learning resources’
validity accurately.

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 materials that were uploaded in the DepEd LR Portal(LRMDS and DepEd
Commons) meet the requirements from the Rapid Assessment Tools, while the materials
form the Non-DepEd LR portal did not meet some of the requirements.

2. Based on the results of the Assessment Tool, what improvements do the materials —
both from DepEd and Non-DepEd portals — still need?
 There is no need no improve in the materials uploaded in the DepEd LR portal,
while in the Non-DepEd Portal, I think we need to improve some parts of the
worksheet based in the Rapid Assessment Tool.
 3. How does this exercise help you in picking the right and appropriate LRs for your
lesson and your learners?
 In determining the right LRs for our lesson, we need to make sure that the LRs
are aligned to the MELCs. This exercise help me check the validity of LRs
appropriately.

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 LRs which were given/distributed by the DepEd are also the ones uploaded
in the DepEd Portal(LRMDS and DepEd Commons. These materials will be the ones
to be used in the actual classes and these materials meet all the requirements based
in the assessment using the Rapid Assessment Tool.

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

 We can still contextualized the modules from Kinder to Grades 3 to suit their
mother tongue

ACTIVITY 4.

Share and discuss your answers to the questions in Activities 1, 2, and 3 in your next
LAC Session. Jot down insights and information that can be useful to you in choosing
the appropriate LRs.

Insights:
 The materials that were uploaded in the DepEd LR Portal(LRMDS and DepEd
Commons) meet the requirements from the Rapid Assessment Tools, while the materials
form the Non-DepEd LR portal did not meet some of the requirements.

 There is no need no improve in the materials uploaded in the DepEd LR portal,

while in the Non-DepEd Portal, I think we need to improve some parts of the
worksheet based in the Rapid Assessment Tool.

 In determining the right LRs for our lesson, we need to make sure that the LRs
are aligned to the MELCs. This exercise help me check the validity of LRs
appropriately.

 The LRs which were given/distributed by the DepEd are also the ones uploaded
in the DepEd Portal(LRMDS and DepEd Commons. These materials will be the ones
 to be used in the actual classes and these materials meet all the requirements based
in the assessment using the Rapid Assessment Tool.
 Finally, we can still contextualized the modules from Kinder to Grades 3 to suit
their mother tongue.

Submit your LR assessments with your reflection on the exercises to your LAC Leader.
Ensure that you keep a copy for yourself.
