 Blended Learning

-an Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) that

combines face –to-face (F2F) and distance
learning modalities to deliver the formal
learning curriculum standards
Managing the F2F Modality
• establish safe & secure learning environment

• work with the school community to ensure that

learners should:

 have access to handwashing facilities, water supply, cleaning &

disinfecting supplies (soap, sanitizer, etc)& protective
equipment for cleaners, e.g.gloves
 be reminded of the handwashing protocols & the importance of
adopting a hygiene culture
 observe physical distancing & other health & safety protocols
 Why use blended learning?
1. Expanded reach

2. Flexibility on the use of multiple pedagogical

approaches that suit different types of learners’
context

3. Effectiveness due to the application of

differentiated teaching
 Why use blended learning?

4. Alternative to enable continued participation in

school.

Covid-19 pandemic, the new normal requires

flexibility to comply with health and safety
protocols
 What are the types of blended learning?

DepEd’s Learning Continuity Plan(LCP) cited :

1. Face –to-face and Modular Distance Learning (F2F & MDL)
2. Face –to-face and Online Distance Learning (F2F & ODL)
3. Face–to-face and Television/Radio-based Instruction (F2F &
TV/RBI)
4. Face –to-face and a Combination of MDL, ODL, TV/RBI
When is blended learning
appropriate?
-depending on the extent of community
infection

-the region/SDO/Schools are in a better

position to assess their context & determine
delivery approaches with the assurance of
compliance to government regulations &
policies
