Modular Distance

Learning
 Modular Distance Learning

It involves individualized instruction that allows

learners to use self-learning modules (SLMs) in
print or digital format/electronic copy, whichever is
applicable in the context of the learner, and other
learning resources like Learner’s Materials,
textbooks, activity sheets, study guides and other
study materials.
A learner may adopt either Digital Modular Distance Learning
(DMDL) or Printed Modular Distance Learning (PMDL).
1. DMDL- Learners with devices at home like laptop, desktop,
or tablet, may adopt DMDL. The SLMs in different digital
formats such as flat PDF, education videos, audio lessons, e-
SLMs and others may be stored in a CD/DVD/USB flash
drive/pen drive.
2. PMDL- Printed SLM shall be used by learners adopting
PMDL.
Self-learning Modules (SLMs) which are
K to 12 compliant are developed
following the ADM Learning Resources
Standards.
Learners shall be provided with the
suggested time frame to work on their
assigned tasks.
Monitoring of learner progress and setting up of a
feedback mechanism shall be ensured to help
learners meet the most essential learning
competencies while seeing the connection of one
lesson to the next to reinforce the coherence of the
curriculum.
The Weekly Home Learning Plan shall be prepared by
teachers implementing Distance and Blended Learning while
the DLP or DLL which is prescribed in DepEd Order 42, s.
2016 otherwise known as the Policy Guidelines on Daily
Lesson Preparation for the K to 12 Basic Education Program
shall be prepared by teachers implementing F2F learning.
Timely and appropriate monitoring and feedback
for consultation and intervention purposes shall be
put in place through various touch points such as
text messaging, and audio/video calls, whichever is
accessible to the learner. If possible and allowed,
face-to-face interaction may be utilized for this
purpose.
The Individual Learning Monitoring Plan is a more
specific tool which shall be used by teachers and
learning facilitators for learners who lag behind as
shown by the results of their formative and
summative assessments.
Members of the family and other stakeholders
within the community who are trained as learning
facilitators shall be engaged to provide learners with
instructional support as needed in the absence of a
classroom teacher.
 FACE TO FACE
LEARNING
This refers to a learning delivery modality where the
students and the teacher are both physically present
in the classroom, and there are opportunities for
active engagement, immediate feedback, and socio-
emotional development of learners.
There will be no face-to-face learning until a
COVID-19 vaccine becomes available.
