I. Introduction
Modular learning, based on the survey conducted by DepEd on school opening, is
the most preferred learning delivery of parents for their children this school year 2020-
2021. Under the modular learning, materials can be printed or in digitized form.
In printed modular distance learning, the students will be given a printed or so-
called hard copy to bring and answer at home.
In printed module, the student will no longer need a gadget, cellphone, laptop, tablet
or computer to study, because all the student’s lessons have been printed and sent to him
by his teacher or personally pick up by their parents in the school every week.
The student will complete the modules within a week and return them to his/her
teacher. While in digital modular distance learning, students will be given digital or
softcopy modules saved in flash drive or CD’s that they will study and answer using a
tablet, cellphone, laptop, computer or desktop.
The student must complete the modules within a week and return them to the
teacher based on the agreed date and time between the teacher and the parent. There are
other schools send their copies of digital modules thru messenger, e-mail and other online
platforms to access the students with internet connection.
The use of digital modules is one of the components of distance learning, which
schools have implemented since physical classes have been discouraged to avoid exposing
learners and teachers to the risk of the coronavirus disease.
One of the major challenges in modular distance learning is the safety of the
learners, parents and especially teachers in the distribution of Self-Learning Modules
(SLMs) to our learners which also the primary concern of the DepEd and every
administrator in a learning institution, because teachers are really the front liners in
implementing the programs and projects of the department specifically on instruction.
This Project CONNECT (Creating Opportunities to Learn through Networking and
Compiling and Providing Electronic Learning Resources using MOODLE to Achieve
Curriculum Targets) was conceptualized, to address the challenges in the distribution and
reproduction of SLMs in our school.
MOODLE stands for Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment (a
free and open-source learning management system (LMS) written in PHP and Apache
(Programming languages) and distributed under the GNU General Public License (is a
series of widely used free software licenses that guarantee end users the freedom to run,
study, share, and modify the software).
In this project we will be using the offline version of a MOODLE where teachers and
students allow to synchronize with the MOODLE server and to work with offline that
provide access to download digital learning modules uploaded in a local host server
computer without the use of internet using their gadgets, cellphones, tablets, laptops, etc.
We manually created student’s account on the local host server (MOODLE) for them
to access the WiFi for them to connect and download digital SLMs.
The equipment to be used in this project are a) router – (is the piece of network
hardware) that allows communication between the local server computer (MOODLE) using
their smart phones, tablets, laptops, etc. to download the digital learning modules. b)
Computer- (a place where the MOODLE application has been installed. This served as a
repository of learning resources like self-learning modules and other activities in the local
network). c) UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cables – are the most used networking cables
to connect computer and a router.
The offline LMS-Learning Management System (MOODLE) will be installed one (1)
in our school to cater our students who lives nearby the school. We are currently
coordinating with our barangay captains to assist in setting up LMS in their barangay using
their available resources like computer. If this will be materialized our learners could easily
access and download our digital learning modules without going to school, and to lessen
the reproduction of printed learning modules.
The project is intended for all the students, and teaching and non-teaching
personnel of _________________________ School. The project will cover the whole school year
from October 2021-June 2022 to cater all the need digital SLMs of our students and
purposely give due assistance to teachers in the implementation of the new learning
delivery modalities in the pilot year of the new normal education.
There will be no fund required since we will be utilizing an open source learning
management system LMS (MOODLE).
II. PROJECT SUMMARY
In the midst of pandemic, the Department of Education adheres to its goal that
learning should continue. As a result, they have formulated the Learning Continuity Plan
(LCP), ensure that learning continues while guaranteeing the health, safety and well-being
of all learners, teachers and other employees.
As a response
III. PROJECT BACKGROUND
The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID 19) pandemic has really affected the delivery
of instruction due to the current public health emergency suspends the conduct of business
as usual. This is quite challenging on the part of every institution since management
strategies such as implementation of physical distancing and quarantine measures are
applied to prevent the overwhelming spread to national public health systems. Despite this
condition, the DepEd stands to remain committed in realizing the constitutional right to
education by ensuring that learning opportunities shall continue to be provided. One thing
for sure, education will continue amidst the crisis. With this, we are preparing our teaching
force, learning environment and all facets of education to qualify on the demands needed in
order to go with the flow on the new normal way of delivering instruction among our
learners and at the same time protecting them for any health threats.
The current situation leads to drastic change on the total landscape of the
educational paradigm specifically on the delivery of instruction among our clienteles. A
reason why that a critical component of the Learning Continuity Plan (LCP) is enabling
teachers to use different learning modalities effectively. Capacitating our teachers is one of
the main concerns of the department since they hold a significant role in the
implementation of learning delivery in the different institution.
Distance Learning is a learning delivery modality where a learner is given materials
or access to resources and he/she undertakes self-directed study at home or in another
venue. (DO 21, s. 2019 p.96) Learners engage in independent learning at home or in any
physical learning space applicable, by using learning materials that are accessible either
online, stored on CD/DVD/USB Flash drive, or in printed form, or by viewing TV lessons or
listening to radio-based instruction while being geographically distant from the teacher.
The teacher supervises and monitors the learner’s progress and provides remediation and
enhancement when needed and possible. Assistance may be provided by a learning
facilitator who may be a parent or any member of the family, or a community stakeholder.
Modular learning is the backbone of the DepEd’s distance learning program as
access to technology remains a problem for most students. Other modes of learning such as
online, and TV and radio broadcast would supplement the SLMs.
Modular learning based on the survey conducted by DepEd on school opening, is the
most preferred learning delivery of parents for their children. Under the modular learning,
materials can be printed or in digitized form.
The challenges met on the printing of modules were lack of budget and funding, and
of course, others encountered lack of supplies such as bond paper.
To address these issues, schools have been engaging activities private sectors to
help them in printing the SLMs through Brigada Eskwela.
Aside from this, DepEd’s procurement office has coordinated with the National
Printing Office and other government printing offices to fast track the reproduction of SLMs
and to produce bond paper.
Ensuring that our learners are learning is the primary concern of our institution, the
________________________________ School proposes a Project CONNECT (Creating Opportunities
to Learn through Networking and Compiling and Providing Electronic Learning Resources
using MOODLE to Achieve Curriculum Targets) to address the challenges in the distribution
and reproduction of SLMs in our school.
 After the implementation of this program our teachers and learners could easily
access and download their SLMs using the offline Learning Management System (LMS)
installed in the school.
Teachers are now ready to face the new challenges ahead of us and continue to
improve their instructional practices as a result of their collaboration. With proper outlook
and optimism, we will be victorious to combat the educational barriers along the way and
will ensure that Quality Learning will continue.
