Introduction

The Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT) has had a

track record of conducting training on the use of ICT through the Center for
eLearning even before the COVID-19 pandemic, through its collaboration with the

institution’s College of Education. MSU-IIT’s virtual learning environment (VLE),
called the MSU-IIT Online Learning Environment (MOLÉ), uses the Moodle

learning management system customised to use single sign-on along with the
My.IIT University Portal, and Google Workspace for Education. However, the use of

MOLÉ, though voluntary, was adopted by faculty members at MSU-IIT to enhance

teaching and learning activities for certain classes following the traditional mode
of delivery. Although there was a Board of Regents-approved mandate that

academic sta can use the 70-30 hybrid mode of delivery, with 70% of teaching
