The University ensures that each students. considering the challenges and changes brought about by the COVID19 Pandemic, is able to Continuing your Education via these Methods: FLEXI TECH-DRIVEN and MODULAR PRINTED. These methods cater to address identified and possible challenges in this School Year and succeeding one until such time that the statutes of limitation has been lifted by the DEPED and CHED on the resumption on onsite classes.
To further understand the these Instructional Delivery Method adopted by the University, you can access the University's Primer on Flexible Learning. This Flexible Learning is the implementation of the the Memorandum no. 025 s. 2020 RED Ways 3.0 Blueprint.
As Learning ICT professionals, the College of Computer Studies opted to use for its learning delivery the FLEXI TECH-DRIVEN method. This is because, we are used already in integrating technology and the www in our studies even before pandemic. This is an environment we are always exposed to - we trained to study and work online - as such is the nature of our profession.
FLEXI TECH-DRIVEN MODALITY. It is a technology-enhanced flexible learning solution for students with stable internet access, mobile devices, and other related resources at home. This teaching-learning engagement modality can be classified as Asynchronous and Synchronous. You will be given access to a Learning Management System for accessing the course materials posted by your professors and for submitting your requirements to all of your enrolled subjects.
ASYNCHRONOUS ENGAGEMENT. It occurs through online channels without real-time interaction in UNC or with classmates and professors. Learning activities are experienced by a student through the use of a Learning Management System (LMS) or a learning platform (such as Coursera, LinkedIn, and others); learning activities can happen or can be accessed by the students at any time and at their own pace, given a certain time frame.
SYNCHRONOUS ENGAGEMENT. This Learning occurs through online channels that happen in real-time with interactions with classmates and professors. The teaching-learning activities happen in real-time through the use of real-time platforms such as Zoom, Google Meet, or preferred by the professor.
COURSE MODULE REQUIREMENT SUBMISSION. Both modalities will be using the same Module of the enrolled subjects to ensure equal learning materials. Topics discussed and content in the Modules, Learning Activities, Assessments, and the Course Requirements
SUBJECT CLUSTERING. What is reflected in your matriculation is the regular offering of subjects with the same regular scheduling format - the difference is: there will be no Face-to-face sessions. To provide flexibility in your learning management and time; we have Subject Clustering. It is about equally dividing your enrolled subjects into two groups this semester.
Let us say you have 6 subjects (both CCS and GEC). The first 2.5 months (53 days) will be Cluster A which will have 3 of your subjects and the remaining will be in Cluster B which has (53 days). Clusters are a mix of CCS and GEC subjects. All enrolled subjects will be delivered within the semester.
Please note that only none CCS Subjects are clustered. All CCS Subjects are scheduled for the entire semester.
MODULAR PRINTED MODALITY. It is a flexible learning solution using a complete course package that could be in printed format or contained in a digital storage device? The complete course package also referred to as the RED Learning Kit is offered by UNC to students with zero internet or limited connectivity but who have a computer or with mobile devices at home can opt for this method. You will have copies of the entire course material of all your enrolled subjects. The university will identify which pick-up points in your city/ town/municipality or it can be at UNC.
