Part 1. CASE STUDY

Introduction
As Covid-19 became a pandemic that greatly affected the world, the education systems diversely and drastically changed. Both teachers and students adjust to the rise of the new approach, the blended learning. Blended learning is the use of technological resources such as online and digital techniques enhancing the traditional teaching methods. True enough, schools and educational institutions are pushed to adapt the blended learning because of the current situation. Although this approach has already been introduced years back in first-world countries, its context is still new in the Philippines. Thus, even those in the graduate school, including those undergoing mandatory schooling in the uniformed service are adapting.

This group’s case study focuses on the student officers’ experiences undergoing the Public Safety Officers Advance Course using blended learning. The topic and subtopics in the next discussions will cover the following: (1) tools essential for blended learning, (2) the conductive environment for their classes, (3) their means of internet connectivity, (4) the most convenient/user friendly Operating System, and (5) the technical capabilities that would affect their preparation and performance for their academic requirements.
