Vol.3, No.1C
Abstract
The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) implemented flexible learning as colleges and universities' new standard learning technique. It entails the use of various online learning platforms, LMS or E-learning websites, as well as the usage of digital and printed modules. Many people have questioned its effectiveness. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of online learning modalities on the learning outcomes of selected college students.
This was a randomized, descriptive, quantitative study. Questions were developed to guide the research. Students currently enrolled in Bestlink College of the Philippines were eligible to participate. Students were stratified based on their prior online experience (Distance, Modular, and blended distance). The study's population consists of two hundred (200) college students. The collected survey data were evaluated using frequency, percentages, and weighted mean to determine the study's hypothesis.
With 69%, online distance learning was this study's most experienced online modality. It also demonstrates that the most effective modality was Blended Distance Learning. Furthermore, challenges develop due to a lack of funding and the availability of key technologies. As a result, the study recommended that online learning concentrates on integrating technological improvements, quality verification of materials used, and sustaining current online learning progress.
