MISOSA and e-IMPACT are alternative delivery mode systems that address issues of access and quality in education. MISOSA addresses overcrowding through off-site learning using self-instructional materials supervised by teacher facilitators. e-IMPACT enables complete levels through community learning centers and small group spaces using modular materials. e-IMPACT emphasizes community and student collaboration while MISOSA uses large classes and self-study. Both aim to develop independent learning, but e-IMPACT stresses intrinsic motivation and confidence more than MISOSA.
