| COVID-19 has a huge impact on our educational system in the Philippines. After all, our dear President Duterte proclaimed an immediate Enhanced Community Quarantine in Central Luzon on March 17, 2020, which is extended up to April 30, 2020, that has been a deluge to our students because it needed to be temporarily suspended all classes at all levels. CHED.gov.ph (2020) Chairman Prospero De Vera issued an advisory to all Colleges and Universities that there is a need to “Deploy available distance learning, e-learning, and other alternative modes of delivery in place of residential learning if they have the resources to do so” so that the operations will still be continued. The Researcher has tested the Learning Management Systems platform in the Philippine Merchant Marine Academy, San Narciso, Zambales, Central Luzon College of Science and Technology, Olongapo City, College of Subic Montessori, Subic Bay Freeport Zone, and Columban College Graduate School, Olongapo City. After the said deployment, the researcher also conducted an online survey regarding the usage of the Learning Management System using google form and uploaded it in Microsoft Excel to tally its results and interpretation. Thus it only shows that there is a need to use an alternative learning module or online learning system based on the advisory set by the CHED and also to test its effectiveness in terms of its speed, accuracy, reliability, and security. I used the minimum sample of 100% to get a significant result in terms of statistical treatment. The Scope of the Learning Management Systems amidst the COVID-19 and the suspension of academic institutions are pushing for online learning. The use of a learning management system could help in the delivery of educational material paperless. For example, the lecture slides, power-points, tasks, learning activities, and learning outcomes could be uploaded in the virtual classroom. Learning Management Systems is one of the methods used as a substitute in the current conditions of the pandemic outbreak and the inability to be present in academic institutions because of the Enhanced Community Quarantine or lockdown imposed by the National Government. | ||||
