1
00:00:00,300 --> 00:00:02,934
Every review asks the same question:

2
00:00:03,075 --> 00:00:04,350
what was promised,

3
00:00:04,340 --> 00:00:06,022
and where is the evidence?

4
00:00:06,047 --> 00:00:07,705
This is ours.

5
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,478
The SSU Lifelong Learning LMS:

6
00:00:11,468 --> 00:00:14,636
integrating core learning-management functions with lifelong-learning

7
00:00:14,626 --> 00:00:15,425
features,

8
00:00:15,415 --> 00:00:18,513
a framework for higher education institutions.

9
00:00:20,460 --> 00:00:22,258
Universities now teach far more than

10
00:00:22,248 --> 00:00:23,442
degree students:

11
00:00:23,467 --> 00:00:25,462
alumni, working professionals,

12
00:00:25,452 --> 00:00:27,041
adults returning to study,

13
00:00:27,031 --> 00:00:29,769
and communities beyond the campus.

14
00:00:30,670 --> 00:00:32,456
Yet a typical LMS

15
00:00:32,446 --> 00:00:34,163
is built around the semester:

16
00:00:34,153 --> 00:00:36,624
enrol, attend, get graded,

17
00:00:36,614 --> 00:00:38,157
and the record ends when the

18
00:00:38,147 --> 00:00:39,794
term does.

19
00:00:40,690 --> 00:00:43,335
Our proposal compared nine capabilities.

20
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,716
Course delivery, gradebooks and quizzes were

21
00:00:45,706 --> 00:00:46,493
present.

22
00:00:47,308 --> 00:00:50,835
Seven lifelong-learning capabilities were absent.

23
00:00:51,730 --> 00:00:52,483
CPD

24
00:00:52,473 --> 00:00:55,188
credits, micro-credentials and badges,

25
00:00:55,213 --> 00:00:56,628
competency mapping,

26
00:00:56,618 --> 00:00:58,404
adult-friendly design,

27
00:00:58,429 --> 00:01:00,041
SDG tagging,

28
00:01:00,066 --> 00:01:01,388
one unified record,

29
00:01:01,378 --> 00:01:03,594
and green computing.

30
00:01:04,490 --> 00:01:06,160
So the study set one primary

31
00:01:06,150 --> 00:01:07,124
objective:

32
00:01:07,114 --> 00:01:09,074
develop and validate a framework that

33
00:01:09,064 --> 00:01:11,036
brings these together for higher education

34
00:01:11,026 --> 00:01:12,963
institutions.

35
00:01:13,860 --> 00:01:16,087
Five secondary objectives follow:

36
00:01:16,112 --> 00:01:19,280
framework development, technology validation with Laravel

37
00:01:19,270 --> 00:01:20,952
and MySQL,

38
00:01:20,942 --> 00:01:22,542
stakeholder analysis,

39
00:01:22,567 --> 00:01:24,284
implementation strategy,

40
00:01:24,274 --> 00:01:27,628
and SDG-aligned sustainability.

41
00:01:28,530 --> 00:01:30,734
The method is Design Science Research:

42
00:01:30,724 --> 00:01:33,265
identify the problem, set objectives,

43
00:01:33,255 --> 00:01:34,217
design,

44
00:01:34,207 --> 00:01:37,003
demonstrate, evaluate, and communicate.

45
00:01:37,900 --> 00:01:41,172
An explanatory sequential mixed-methods strand adds

46
00:01:41,162 --> 00:01:42,531
surveys first,

47
00:01:42,521 --> 00:01:44,469
then interviews and focus groups,

48
00:01:44,553 --> 00:01:46,072
in a single case study at

49
00:01:46,062 --> 00:01:48,556
Samar State University.

50
00:01:49,460 --> 00:01:51,501
Five activities carry it out:

51
00:01:51,585 --> 00:01:54,439
hands-on validation with graduating BSIT

52
00:01:54,429 --> 00:01:55,356
students,

53
00:01:55,497 --> 00:01:57,075
a stakeholder needs survey,

54
00:01:57,065 --> 00:01:58,921
interviews and focus groups,

55
00:01:58,911 --> 00:02:00,941
a pilot deployment, and a final

56
00:02:00,931 --> 00:02:02,717
evaluation.

57
00:02:03,620 --> 00:02:05,569
The framework has three layers.

58
00:02:05,594 --> 00:02:06,950
At its core is a complete

59
00:02:06,940 --> 00:02:07,961
LMS:

60
00:02:07,951 --> 00:02:09,563
catalog, cohorts,

61
00:02:09,553 --> 00:02:13,812
lessons, quizzes, assignments, grading and certificates.

62
00:02:14,710 --> 00:02:16,879
Around it, a lifelong-learning layer:

63
00:02:16,869 --> 00:02:19,585
self-paced enrolment, CPD credits,

64
00:02:19,575 --> 00:02:21,616
micro-credentials and badges,

65
00:02:21,606 --> 00:02:23,787
competencies, pathways,

66
00:02:23,777 --> 00:02:25,192
SDG tagging

67
00:02:25,182 --> 00:02:27,827
and a unified transcript.

68
00:02:28,730 --> 00:02:30,540
And because the platform is also

69
00:02:30,530 --> 00:02:31,817
the study's instrument,

70
00:02:31,807 --> 00:02:33,999
a third layer records consent,

71
00:02:34,024 --> 00:02:34,963
surveys,

72
00:02:34,953 --> 00:02:36,286
usage analytics

73
00:02:36,276 --> 00:02:38,550
and qualitative data.

74
00:02:39,450 --> 00:02:41,318
It runs on Laravel twelve,

75
00:02:41,308 --> 00:02:43,605
Filament four and MySQL,

76
00:02:43,595 --> 00:02:45,927
the stack the proposal named.

77
00:02:46,830 --> 00:02:49,499
Of 111 specified requirements,

78
00:02:49,489 --> 00:02:51,995
106 are implemented and tested,

79
00:02:52,020 --> 00:02:53,133
4 partially,

80
00:02:53,123 --> 00:02:55,164
and one awaits measurement.

81
00:02:56,060 --> 00:02:58,682
Before it became a lifelong-learning platform,

82
00:02:58,672 --> 00:03:00,656
this system ran a real training:

83
00:03:00,646 --> 00:03:01,898
DICT

84
00:03:01,888 --> 00:03:05,126
ILCDB's CodeIgniter 4 course,

85
00:03:05,116 --> 00:03:06,159
Batch 2,

86
00:03:06,149 --> 00:03:07,250
in Samar,

87
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,725
June 16 to 17,

88
00:03:08,715 --> 00:03:10,524
2026.

89
00:03:11,420 --> 00:03:13,798
Instructors write lessons in Markdown;

90
00:03:14,009 --> 00:03:16,271
one command imports them as modules,

91
00:03:16,261 --> 00:03:20,033
slides, workshops, handouts and quizzes.

92
00:03:20,930 --> 00:03:22,902
The course carried 34 lessons and

93
00:03:22,892 --> 00:03:25,189
5 quizzes with 71 questions,

94
00:03:25,179 --> 00:03:27,453
a capstone graded on a 7-criterion

95
00:03:27,443 --> 00:03:28,080
rubric,

96
00:03:28,070 --> 00:03:30,100
and certificates.

97
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,983
That run is our field evidence:

98
00:03:33,009 --> 00:03:34,435
the core carried a real course

99
00:03:34,425 --> 00:03:36,548
from content to certificate.

100
00:03:37,450 --> 00:03:39,306
A center for lifelong learning serves

101
00:03:39,296 --> 00:03:39,933
people from

102
00:03:39,923 --> 00:03:41,430
every walk of life.

103
00:03:41,572 --> 00:03:42,847
Here is how this platform can

104
00:03:42,837 --> 00:03:44,484
serve four of them.

105
00:03:45,380 --> 00:03:47,433
A barangay livelihood course for older

106
00:03:47,423 --> 00:03:48,118
women:

107
00:03:48,143 --> 00:03:50,684
face-to-face, with a Filipino interface and

108
00:03:50,674 --> 00:03:51,938
printed handouts,

109
00:03:51,928 --> 00:03:54,364
run with a municipal partner.

110
00:03:55,260 --> 00:03:57,383
The facilitator marks attendance on the

111
00:03:57,373 --> 00:03:59,705
roster and records completion,

112
00:03:59,846 --> 00:04:01,284
so even a learner who rarely

113
00:04:01,274 --> 00:04:04,802
logs in still earns a certificate.

114
00:04:05,700 --> 00:04:07,835
An out-of-school youth can study self-paced

115
00:04:07,825 --> 00:04:08,787
on a phone,

116
00:04:08,777 --> 00:04:10,656
with Lite mode keeping pages light

117
00:04:10,646 --> 00:04:12,687
on prepaid data.

118
00:04:13,590 --> 00:04:14,355
Finishing

119
00:04:14,345 --> 00:04:16,851
earns a micro-credential badge anyone can

120
00:04:16,841 --> 00:04:17,710
verify,

121
00:04:17,700 --> 00:04:18,906
and the course is tagged to

122
00:04:18,896 --> 00:04:21,762
SDG 8, target 8.6:

123
00:04:21,787 --> 00:04:23,225
youth not in education,

124
00:04:23,215 --> 00:04:25,221
employment or training.

125
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,928
Alumni and professionals take short CPD

126
00:04:28,918 --> 00:04:29,834
seminars,

127
00:04:29,824 --> 00:04:31,633
with credit hours and CPD

128
00:04:31,623 --> 00:04:34,036
units recorded on completion.

129
00:04:34,940 --> 00:04:36,424
It all lands in one learning

130
00:04:36,414 --> 00:04:37,028
record,

131
00:04:37,018 --> 00:04:38,329
with credit hours,

132
00:04:38,319 --> 00:04:39,106
CPD

133
00:04:39,096 --> 00:04:39,710
units

134
00:04:39,700 --> 00:04:41,185
and a link an employer can

135
00:04:41,175 --> 00:04:42,578
verify.

136
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,557
Faculty and staff upskill through their

137
00:04:45,547 --> 00:04:46,509
own courses,

138
00:04:46,499 --> 00:04:49,225
and industry partners' employees train under

139
00:04:49,215 --> 00:04:50,015
agreements

140
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,418
in the partner registry.

141
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,211
The partner report shows agreements in

142
00:04:55,201 --> 00:04:56,024
force,

143
00:04:56,014 --> 00:04:57,196
linked courses,

144
00:04:57,186 --> 00:05:00,261
and progress toward the partnership target.

145
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,714
A learner starts at the public

146
00:05:02,704 --> 00:05:03,678
catalog,

147
00:05:03,668 --> 00:05:05,605
filtering by level, language,

148
00:05:05,595 --> 00:05:08,751
pacing, credential or SDG.

149
00:05:09,650 --> 00:05:11,982
Each course page shows outcomes and

150
00:05:11,972 --> 00:05:13,375
open cohorts.

151
00:05:13,516 --> 00:05:15,384
Learners enrol with one click,

152
00:05:15,374 --> 00:05:16,545
or with a key from the

153
00:05:16,535 --> 00:05:18,263
facilitator.

154
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,120
On first sign-in, a short profile

155
00:05:21,110 --> 00:05:23,141
and a research-consent choice

156
00:05:23,131 --> 00:05:26,333
come before any lesson opens.

157
00:05:27,230 --> 00:05:29,550
Lessons are built from content blocks:

158
00:05:29,540 --> 00:05:32,128
text, video, files and reflections.

159
00:05:32,269 --> 00:05:34,078
Text size adjusts, and notes and

160
00:05:34,068 --> 00:05:34,786
bookmarks

161
00:05:34,776 --> 00:05:36,586
stay with the learner.

162
00:05:37,490 --> 00:05:39,462
Instructors can draw each attempt from

163
00:05:39,452 --> 00:05:40,635
a question pool,

164
00:05:40,625 --> 00:05:43,502
and quizzes are graded automatically.

165
00:05:45,950 --> 00:05:48,061
Assignments accept checked uploads,

166
00:05:48,051 --> 00:05:50,197
graded against a rubric.

167
00:05:51,650 --> 00:05:53,204
In class, learners check in with

168
00:05:53,194 --> 00:05:54,075
the code

169
00:05:54,100 --> 00:05:56,826
or QR on the projector.

170
00:05:57,730 --> 00:05:59,481
Grades gather in one scorecard,

171
00:05:59,471 --> 00:06:01,931
so learners know where they stand.

172
00:06:02,830 --> 00:06:04,790
Completing a course issues a PDF

173
00:06:04,780 --> 00:06:07,960
certificate with a public verification code.

174
00:06:08,860 --> 00:06:10,461
Badges and credits stack into the

175
00:06:10,451 --> 00:06:11,946
transcript.

176
00:06:12,850 --> 00:06:14,578
Learning pathways show the next course

177
00:06:14,568 --> 00:06:15,321
to take,

178
00:06:15,311 --> 00:06:16,691
and a personal SDG

179
00:06:16,681 --> 00:06:17,585
dashboard

180
00:06:17,575 --> 00:06:19,245
shows the goals a learner's courses

181
00:06:19,235 --> 00:06:20,813
support.

182
00:06:21,710 --> 00:06:24,077
Forums and end-of-course evaluations keep the

183
00:06:24,067 --> 00:06:25,818
conversation going.

184
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:27,972
On a phone it installs like

185
00:06:27,962 --> 00:06:28,773
an app,

186
00:06:28,763 --> 00:06:30,619
offers a Filipino interface,

187
00:06:30,609 --> 00:06:31,978
and turns on Lite mode by

188
00:06:31,968 --> 00:06:34,590
itself when data saver is on.

189
00:06:35,490 --> 00:06:37,218
Staff work in an admin panel

190
00:06:37,208 --> 00:06:39,842
whose dashboards show upcoming cohorts,

191
00:06:39,832 --> 00:06:42,083
pending submissions and, for instructors,

192
00:06:42,073 --> 00:06:44,335
at-risk learners.

193
00:06:45,230 --> 00:06:47,098
Faculty build courses in a course

194
00:06:47,088 --> 00:06:47,887
builder,

195
00:06:47,912 --> 00:06:49,965
with a readiness checklist and a

196
00:06:49,955 --> 00:06:51,184
review workflow

197
00:06:51,209 --> 00:06:53,657
before anything is published.

198
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:55,998
New courses can start from a

199
00:06:55,988 --> 00:06:56,718
template:

200
00:06:56,708 --> 00:06:58,842
short course, micro-credential,

201
00:06:58,867 --> 00:06:59,829
or CPD

202
00:06:59,819 --> 00:07:01,269
seminar.

203
00:07:02,170 --> 00:07:05,373
Cohorts run face-to-face, hybrid or online,

204
00:07:05,363 --> 00:07:07,068
scheduled or self-paced,

205
00:07:07,058 --> 00:07:08,380
and a roster file enrols a

206
00:07:08,370 --> 00:07:10,551
whole class at once.

207
00:07:11,450 --> 00:07:14,618
Instructors grade criterion by criterion,

208
00:07:14,608 --> 00:07:16,719
and the gradebook shows every learner

209
00:07:16,709 --> 00:07:17,927
and assessment,

210
00:07:18,010 --> 00:07:20,063
ready to export.

211
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,944
During sessions, the projector view shows

212
00:07:22,934 --> 00:07:24,407
the check-in code and a live

213
00:07:24,397 --> 00:07:25,718
roster.

214
00:07:26,620 --> 00:07:29,463
Certificate templates carry the institution's design

215
00:07:29,453 --> 00:07:30,647
and signatories,

216
00:07:30,637 --> 00:07:32,795
and every certificate can be checked

217
00:07:32,785 --> 00:07:34,861
online.

218
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,545
Competencies map courses to industry needs,

219
00:07:38,535 --> 00:07:40,518
and the partner registry records agreements

220
00:07:40,508 --> 00:07:43,723
with government, industry and NGOs.

221
00:07:44,620 --> 00:07:46,778
Learning outcomes map to SDG

222
00:07:46,768 --> 00:07:47,753
indicators,

223
00:07:47,743 --> 00:07:49,181
rolled up in an SDG

224
00:07:49,171 --> 00:07:51,189
indicator report.

225
00:07:52,090 --> 00:07:54,213
8 roles and 99 permissions control

226
00:07:54,203 --> 00:07:55,002
access,

227
00:07:54,992 --> 00:07:56,465
with two-factor sign-in

228
00:07:56,455 --> 00:07:58,659
and a full audit trail.

229
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,950
A performance page tracks response times,

230
00:08:01,940 --> 00:08:03,320
errors and uptime,

231
00:08:03,310 --> 00:08:06,129
evidence for technology validation.

232
00:08:07,030 --> 00:08:09,025
Participants join the research portal with

233
00:08:09,015 --> 00:08:10,291
a printed code,

234
00:08:10,316 --> 00:08:12,230
give their consent, and answer the

235
00:08:12,220 --> 00:08:14,250
instruments online.

236
00:08:15,150 --> 00:08:17,168
Each activity has a dossier:

237
00:08:17,193 --> 00:08:19,386
a run sheet, a facilitator kit,

238
00:08:19,376 --> 00:08:20,965
and an instrument booklet for the

239
00:08:20,955 --> 00:08:22,555
ethics review.

240
00:08:23,450 --> 00:08:25,666
During collection, a monitoring console tracks

241
00:08:25,656 --> 00:08:28,812
response rates and flags data-quality issues.

242
00:08:29,710 --> 00:08:30,974
The results page

243
00:08:30,964 --> 00:08:33,586
computes usability and acceptance scores,

244
00:08:33,576 --> 00:08:36,059
feature rankings and group comparisons.

245
00:08:36,711 --> 00:08:38,195
What you see here is simulated

246
00:08:38,185 --> 00:08:39,762
demo data.

247
00:08:40,660 --> 00:08:43,259
Stakeholder survey results come by group,

248
00:08:43,284 --> 00:08:44,664
weighted and tested,

249
00:08:44,654 --> 00:08:46,765
again with simulated data.

250
00:08:47,660 --> 00:08:49,504
Interviews and focus groups are coded

251
00:08:49,494 --> 00:08:50,781
by two coders,

252
00:08:50,771 --> 00:08:52,755
with agreement checks and joint displays

253
00:08:52,745 --> 00:08:54,926
beside the survey results.

254
00:08:55,830 --> 00:08:57,709
Exports are pseudonymised,

255
00:08:57,699 --> 00:08:59,590
and every statistic can be re-checked

256
00:08:59,580 --> 00:09:03,932
independently in R, SPSS or Python.

257
00:09:04,830 --> 00:09:07,080
Back to the monitoring sheet.

258
00:09:07,980 --> 00:09:10,254
Objective one, framework development:

259
00:09:10,244 --> 00:09:11,113
delivered.

260
00:09:11,138 --> 00:09:13,563
The platform, requirements, system design,

261
00:09:13,553 --> 00:09:16,268
data model, API reference and implementation

262
00:09:16,258 --> 00:09:18,265
framework are complete.

263
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:20,447
Objective two,

264
00:09:20,437 --> 00:09:22,223
technology validation:

265
00:09:22,527 --> 00:09:25,219
Laravel and MySQL carry the whole

266
00:09:25,209 --> 00:09:26,020
system,

267
00:09:26,010 --> 00:09:28,412
guarded by more than 1,500 automated

268
00:09:28,402 --> 00:09:30,304
tests on every change.

269
00:09:30,607 --> 00:09:33,624
The staging load test is scheduled.

270
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,956
Objective three, stakeholder analysis:

271
00:09:36,946 --> 00:09:38,489
the instruments, sampling plan,

272
00:09:38,479 --> 00:09:40,602
validity review and research portal are

273
00:09:40,592 --> 00:09:41,403
ready,

274
00:09:41,428 --> 00:09:43,609
and data collection opens with Activity

275
00:09:43,599 --> 00:09:44,851
1.

276
00:09:45,750 --> 00:09:47,153
Once data is in,

277
00:09:47,143 --> 00:09:49,103
results will look like this.

278
00:09:49,407 --> 00:09:51,484
These charts are generated from simulated

279
00:09:51,474 --> 00:09:52,250
data:

280
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,524
usability, acceptance, and the features learners

281
00:09:55,514 --> 00:09:57,335
rank first.

282
00:09:58,230 --> 00:09:59,598
Objective four,

283
00:09:59,588 --> 00:10:01,456
implementation strategy:

284
00:10:01,446 --> 00:10:03,790
delivered as an implementation playbook,

285
00:10:03,780 --> 00:10:04,614
manuals,

286
00:10:04,604 --> 00:10:06,402
a stakeholder engagement plan,

287
00:10:06,392 --> 00:10:07,865
and courses for faculty,

288
00:10:07,855 --> 00:10:10,790
adult learners and IT staff.

289
00:10:11,690 --> 00:10:12,989
Objective five,

290
00:10:12,979 --> 00:10:14,301
SDG integration:

291
00:10:14,291 --> 00:10:15,229
delivered.

292
00:10:15,533 --> 00:10:17,668
Courses carry SDG tags,

293
00:10:17,658 --> 00:10:19,920
learners see an SDG dashboard,

294
00:10:19,910 --> 00:10:21,882
Lite mode saves bandwidth,

295
00:10:21,872 --> 00:10:23,101
and GAD reports

296
00:10:23,091 --> 00:10:25,783
separate results by sex.

297
00:10:26,680 --> 00:10:28,571
The advantage is one platform and

298
00:10:28,561 --> 00:10:29,604
one record,

299
00:10:29,687 --> 00:10:31,462
from a student's first course

300
00:10:31,452 --> 00:10:33,192
to an alumna's CPD

301
00:10:33,182 --> 00:10:33,853
units

302
00:10:33,878 --> 00:10:36,547
to a community learner's certificate.

303
00:10:37,450 --> 00:10:39,085
For the university, the same system

304
00:10:39,075 --> 00:10:39,921
teaches,

305
00:10:39,911 --> 00:10:41,221
credentials,

306
00:10:41,432 --> 00:10:43,938
reports to partners, and produces its

307
00:10:43,928 --> 00:10:46,202
own research evidence.

308
00:10:47,100 --> 00:10:48,805
Next, the platform will add learner

309
00:10:48,795 --> 00:10:49,815
categories

310
00:10:49,898 --> 00:10:51,638
for out-of-school youth,

311
00:10:51,779 --> 00:10:54,506
senior citizens, persons with disabilities,

312
00:10:54,496 --> 00:10:56,015
Indigenous Peoples,

313
00:10:56,005 --> 00:10:58,406
and farmers and fisherfolk.

314
00:10:59,310 --> 00:11:01,723
We also plan facilitator-managed accounts for

315
00:11:01,713 --> 00:11:03,163
learners without email,

316
00:11:03,153 --> 00:11:04,823
an extension program type,

317
00:11:04,813 --> 00:11:06,298
a Waray interface,

318
00:11:06,288 --> 00:11:07,575
offline lessons,

319
00:11:07,565 --> 00:11:10,059
and a larger-text mode.

320
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,827
And the study continues:

321
00:11:12,910 --> 00:11:15,219
Activity 1, the stakeholder survey,

322
00:11:15,209 --> 00:11:16,113
interviews,

323
00:11:16,103 --> 00:11:17,286
a pilot at the Center for

324
00:11:17,276 --> 00:11:18,366
Lifelong Learning,

325
00:11:18,356 --> 00:11:19,782
the final evaluation,

326
00:11:19,772 --> 00:11:20,966
a journal article,

327
00:11:20,956 --> 00:11:23,195
and the copyright filing.

328
00:11:24,090 --> 00:11:26,886
The SSU Lifelong Learning LMS.

329
00:11:26,911 --> 00:11:27,734
Learning for life:

330
00:11:27,724 --> 00:11:29,266
anytime, anywhere.
