New Learning MOOC’s Updates

Philipines through modern technology

In the Philippines, e-learning platforms, such as the Learning Continuity Plan by DepEd, a combination of interactive modules and scheduled virtual classrooms, embody different pedagogies. For example, many e-learning platforms draw on didactic/mimetic pedagogy by allowing students to imitate and practice skills in video lessons and in video simulations. E-learning platforms also have an authentic/synthetic dimension to them by depicting authentic situations such as local histories or cultural practices, so the students have something to relate to the learning context with their local place. In addition, many e-learning environments contain transformative/reflexive pedagogy by inviting learners to arrive at a critical position with the content, reflect upon their understanding, and create self-directed learning within the rules of remote learning. Overall, e-learning practices in the Philippines drew on imitation, an authentic experience, and critical reflection that responded locally.
