( use of IT in teaching)
Prepared by: Jane Audrey Anon
Instructor: Mr. Ramonsito Masbate

2. ADS
ALTERNATIVE DELIVERY SYSTEM

3. Objectives:
1. Identify the meaning of distance education and its
characteristics.
2. Differentiate the characteristics of technologies that
support Alternative Delivery System.
3. State the advantages and disadvantages of different
technologies that support Alternative Delivery System.

4. LESSON PROPER
Distance Education
> is a method of education where students can study in their
own choice of place and time, without having to meet their teachers
face-to-face.
> Instruction in distance education is being delivered with the
use of special materials and technologies that may be included in the
Alternative Delivery System.

5. Characteristics of Distance Education
1. Provide learners with physical disabilities, work and other personal
reasons a chance to learn and be educated without attending formal
schooling.
2. It aims to achieve independent learning.
3. Provide learners with learning packages which are prepared by
qualified instructional designers and are supported by various
technologies.
4. It provides accessibility to learners.
5. It provides convenience and flexibility to learners
6. It is cost effective.
7. It provides greater access to new technology.
8. It supports student-centered approach.

6. Broadcast Radio
> Is an ADS which is considered as powerful tool when delivering a
lesson or disseminating information to a large group of students.
> Is the most accessible ADS for it can reach people even in the
most deprived areas at a relatively low cost.
> This ADS may not sound so popular, but in actuality this is widely
used in both developed and developing countries.
> The use of radio has started as early as 1970’s to employ active
learning through to “instructional conversation”.
> Delivering a lesson via radio saves time, energy and money.

7. The use of Broadcast Radio may be of advantage and disadvantage to
both teachers and students.
Advantages:
1. Most accessible medium in terms of geographical reach.
2. Cost of radio is relatively low.
3. Radio can be used with other media or materials.
4. It helps people in rural areas be literate in the ABC’s and 123’s of life.
Disadvantages:
1.People in rural areas may experience difficulty in purchasing a radio and
having it repaired.
2. Poor reception may bring poor delivery of instruction.
3. Broadcast schedules may bring inconvenience to students for pace and
time is beyond their control.
4. Learning without visuals may be challenging for visual learners.
5. Interaction among learners is limited.

8. Audio Teleconference
> Is also known as telephone/phone conferencing (teleconferencing).
> Is an ADS in which instruction may happen through telecommunication
system.
> Is a teaching technology that is flexible, economically reasonable and
available.
> It is a synchronous technology that transmits communication in real time.
Students are required to be in the same place and the same time. The
communication of these students is linked via the telephone as group rather
than as individuals. It is highly recommended that speaker phones are of good
quality to achieve excellent audio output.

9. Pointers to make the instruction interactive
1. Acknowledge all contributions and inputs of the students.
2. If the students wish to say something apply the “interaction protocol” which is
the equivalent of “raising hands” of students in a face-to-face instruction. Name of
students is requested to be stated to be recognized.
3. Respond to answers positively.
4. Allow the students appropriate time to think prior to giving of answers to the
questions or problems raised.
5. Have small group discussions when solving complex problems.
6. Manage the participation of each student to avoid students dominating the
teaching and learning process.
7. Encourage the students to do more of the talking.
