 LESSON 3: ASSESSING THE LR MATERIALS

Now you are familiar with the LR portals and the resources that are available for you and
your learners. While the resources may have undergone a quality assurance process, you
may still need to assess the LRs in terms of their relevance to your
lessons and to your learners. In this Module, you will be introduced to some steps that
you can take to ensure the relevance and usefulness of each LR as well as other issues
that can come with the learning resource.

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:

1. assess the quality of the LR materials from both DepEd and non-DepEd
Portals using the LR Rapid Assessment Tool
2. discuss the insights and realizations about these LRs
