GUIDELINES ON THE UPDATING OF STATUS OF LEARNERS OF ALTERNATIVE LEARNING SYSTEM AS OF END OF 2016 CALENDAR YEAR IN THE LEARNER INFORMATION SYSTEM (LIS)

I. RATIONALE

The Department of Education (DepEd) has implemented the Learner Information System (LlS)to establish an accurate and reliable registry of learners,community learning center and ALS Learning Facilitatorswhich are vitalon its planning and budgeting, allocation of resources and setting operational targets.

In this regard, the DepEd aims to provide guidance in the updatingthese information in a web-based system known as the Learner Information System for Alternative Learning System (LIS-ALS).

II. SCOPE

The updating activity will be done thru the LIS and will cover the following:

  1. Updating of End of Calendar Year Status of individual learner enrolled in any ALS Programs during CY 2016.
  2. Updating of Facilitator and assign community learning center/s
  3. ALS DepEdDelivered, Procured and Partners are directed to participate in this updatingactivity
  4. Provision of a Monitoring Dashboard for Central, Region and Divisionto keep an eye on the progress of updating intheir respective areas.

III. POLICY STATEMENT

This DepEd Order provides guidance in the conduct of updating of data and information through the LIS. Information gathered from this activity will be used as basis and reference in making assessment, determining programperformance, allocation of resources and planning for future action or decision. The integrity of data being generated from LIS relies on the integrity of user which is the ALS Facilitators thus this policyis promoting compliance to ensure accuracy of data.

IV. PROCEDURES

Detailed instructions and user manual will be available in LIS Support page for download.

A. ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT

The official website of LIS is lis.deped.gov.ph. Below are the step by step instructions in managing system account at different levels:

i. To have an access, the Division ALS Focal Person will coordinate to the Division System Administrator of LIS that in most cases is the Division Planning Officer. Once an ALS LIS System Administrator account issued to the ALS Division Focal Person, he/she can manage the ALS Facilitator Account.

ii. Using ALS Administrator Account, the ALS Focal Person can update the list of facilitators and update the CLCs assigned to them as of October 31, 2016.

iii. In the event of the facilitator is no longer capableor in the position to access the system due to re-assignment, resignation, retirement among other reasons, the ALS System Administrator can assign a substitute facilitator (facilitator may be assigned in multiple CLCs) to the vacated CLC to update the End of Calendar Year Status of each Learner.

B. UPDATING OF LEARNER STATUS

i. The facilitator is responsible to update learner status at the end of the program. The status is either completer or non-completer as per latest and validated definition:

1. Completer – A learner who has met the set of competencies as agreed by the learner and ALS learning facilitator based on the ALS Curriculum (2017 Edition) for a set learning level from the combined inputs of attending an ALS learning program and recognition of their prior learning. The duration of the learning program would depend on the extent of their learning needs given competencies gained from prior learning experiences.

2. Non-Completer – a learner who did not met the set of competencies as agreed by the learner and ALS Learning Facilitator.

ii. To ensure that all learners are properly tagged of appropriate status, the system will impose validation requiring each learner must have “status” before submission.

iii. Submission of status in the system will be accounted by Community Learning Center. Click submit button only if all the learners in the CLC were have updated status.

iv. A Monitoring Dashboard is available at the division, region and national level to track the progress of updating.

C. REPORT GENERATION

Once the updating of learners completed, the system can now generate list of learners with updated individual status per CLC.
