Distance Education

The Philippine Government, through the Commission on

Higher Education, gives guidance on the deployment of available
flexible learning and other alternative modes of delivery quality
tertiary education in lieu of the on-campus or the traditional face-to-
face learning.
We cannot deny the fact that the shift in the mode of teaching
and learning from the traditional face-to-face to distance education
raised numerous concerns along the way. Setbacks such as
availability of necessary devices, weak and intermittent internet
connection that can result to digital divide, lack of environment that
is conducive for students to learn at home, and effectiveness of
lectures delivered through different platforms challenged the
delivery of higher education. Likewise, some faculty members might
have experienced problems in transitioning to online classes since
some of them have had to learn new skills and modify their
respective syllabi.
