Blended Learning- This refers to a learning modality that combines Online Distance Learning and Modular Distance Learning
(Offline). This is both synchronous and asynchronous modes of facilitating learning to ensure that teachers will have ample time to hold
live sessions with students and do check-ins, and at the same time provide students with enough room to do activities and tasks on their
own. This also addresses the issue of screen time, and bandwidth or connectivity issues.

Hybrid Learning- This refers to the instructional delivery that combines virtual/home-based and physical (face to face – ONLY
if already ALLOWED by the local IATF) classes. This will be implemented the entire school year should each section exceed from the
allowed “20 learners only” in a class to observe proper social distancing. If there will be more than 20 learners in a section, they shall
be divided into two; one group shall come to school MWF, the other group TThS.

Synchronous - This kind of learning can only happen online. Students are engaged in learning at the same time, but not
in the same place. Teaching and learning happen in real-time as agreed upon or announced earlier.

Asynchronous- This is the kind of learning that does not occur in the same place or at the same time. Students learn and do
learning tasks independently until completion as guided by the learning packets/modules. Students may access the learning materials
in different time and different pacing. This allows for flexibility in terms of the learning pace of students, availability of gadgets (if shared
with other people), studying/working time (if student needs to be assisted by parents who have their own busy schedules), strength of
available internet connection, etc.

Face to Face Learning – This is an instructional approach where learning occurs through in-person interaction between the teacher
and the students in a traditional classroom set-up, which will only be ALLOWED IF THE SITUATION IS ALREADY SAFE for both Learners
and Teachers.

Consultation Period – This is an opportunity for the teacher and students to interact and do more personalized or small group
learning and follow up to address specific needs of students.

Formative Assessment – This refers to assessment and evaluation of student’s progress in the learning process during a lesson.
This aims to identify the strengths and areas of improvement in the student’s learning process and provide feedback to improve both the
teaching and learning.

Summative Assessment – This is used to evaluate or measure the over-all metacognition and/or competency level of the student.

Learning Packets/Modules – These are step by step guide that allows the student to work and learn independently and not be
constrained by the learning pace of the class. And also contains assessments to closely monitor where the student is with respect to a
competency. These packets/modules are designed by teachers to direct the students in their academic tasks.

III. FEATURES of iPAUL

iPAUL is INCLUSIVE

During this pandemic, iPAUL offers different modalities which cater to the needs, contexts, and situations of our learners and
teachers. Hence, several factors have been considered as results to the surveys conducted to our Parents, Students and Faculty namely:
(a) Availability of gadgets to be used by both the Faculty and Learners (laptop, tablets, smart phones, etc.);
(b) Connectivity – Not all have strong connectivity. Some have low connectivity, and still others have no connectivity;
(c) Some Paulinian families have two or more children who would be sharing one gadget;
(d) Some parents are both working and have concerns on the schedule of classes; and
(e) Some parents prefer limited online exposures of their children for health reasons.
