The world has undergone a prolonged period of confusion and chaos triggered by the corona-
virus or COVID-19 pandemic responsible for SARS-COV2. It has already (and still counting)
influenced the lives of peoples in nearly 200 countries worldwide. Large economic costs are quickly
approaching the human cost.

The mortality rates of COVID-19 remain highly unpredictable and differ depending on the
quality of local health care and the availability of test kits to assess the number of people suffering
positively from the virus. In fact, if one looks at the rapidly changing mortality and transmissibility
statistics, the figures quickly get scary. (De Silva, year 2020)

Our country has implemented an Enhanced community quarantine (ECQ), to contain the
spread of the virus. This event as implemented mid-March, left some of lessons, activities and
assessments unfinished. This occurrence had made teachers resort into distance learning
interventions, to close the last segments of classes. (De Silva, 2020)

Distance education is traditionally defined as, any educational or learning procedure in which
the guide and the student are separated geographically. There is no interaction between learners.
(Distance Education – Philippines, https://www.philippineseducation.info/distance-education, 2020)

Distance education also known as distance learning or distributed learning, or remote


education, has now existed for ages. It involves acquiring information from methods other than the
traditional way of gaining knowledge – attending institutions. Some recent definitions have focused on
it as a new development, involving advanced technology.

Present-day distance learning is influenced a lot by computer and electronics technology. The
technology has now made it possible for the guide and student to connect almost immediately. Study
resources can be delivered instantly through computers, satellites, internet, cable television,
interactive video etc.

With the new normal as the emerging situation of the learning environment, distance learning
is a method very much suited, but how is this accepted by the stakeholders such as the teachers, the
students, the parents, the community as well as the education administrators. In a random survey ,
we could assess that its acceptability is very low as, teachers, parents, as well as learners are not
well versed with distance learning although they are not new to it.
