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:
1. Based on the map, what resources should you have in order to implement the
LDM adopted by your School/Division?
Answer:
Modular distance learning is the adopted modality in our school. Hence, printed
self-learning materials and activity sheets are the resources that we are going to
utilize.

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?
Answer:
The school is now in the process of reviewing the SLMs provided to us. But teachers
are already utilizing the use of LR Portals like LRMDS and DepEd Commons to find
useful and effective LRs to supplement the SLMs if need be.
3. What support will you need to maximize the use of the two DepEd-sanctioned LR
Portals? From whom can you get this support?
Answer:
A good and stable internet connection is a primary need in accessing these online
portals. A support group to ensure the quality and appropriateness of the LRs should
be established. I will get the support from my fellow educators and the technical
support from out ICT coordinator.
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?
Answer:
The resources are appropriate to the different levels of our learners. These resources
are in editable formats so improving or adjusting it to meet the needs of all learners
should be easy.

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.

Lesson2: Accessing Learning Resources from DepEd Portal

ACTIVITY1. 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.
2. DepEd Commons. Ensure that you have access to DepEd Commons. Refer to
Memorandum on DepEd Commons dated March 17, 2020.
Explore the Portals. 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?
Answer:
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?
Answer:
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?
Answer:
A good and stable internet connection is a primary need in accessing these online
portals. A support group to ensure the quality and appropriateness of the LRs should
be established. I will get the support from my fellow educators and the technical
support from out ICT coordinator.

Lesson3: Assessing the LR Materials

ACTIVITY1.

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:

1. Was the material able to meet all the requirements?

Answer:
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?
Answer:
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.
Answer:
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?
Answer:
Understanding the management of this LR Portal, this gives me the confidence and
motivation to look for the most appropriate learning resources to my learners.

Lesson 3: Assessing the LR Materials

ACTIVITY 2

Explore other non-DepEd LR portals/platforms you can find online. Take note of the
portalsin your Study Notebook. Download at least one LR from each portal. Assess
the materialsusing the same tool and answer the following questions:

1. Based on the Assessment Tool, how does the material from a non-DepEd Portal
compare with the LR from the DepEd Portal?
Answer:

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?

Answer:

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.

Lesson 3: Assessing the LR Materials

ACTIVITY 3:

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

1. How does your material compare with the ones that are obtained from the online
portals?

Answer:

The material needs more precision and quality assurance.

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

Answer:

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