Site Purpose

The purpose of the Moodle platform developed under the All Children Reading - Philippines (ACR-Philippines) project and funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is to provide students and teachers in the Philippines easy, and offline access to literacy resources for self-study at home. The program is implemented by RTI in partnership with the Philippines Department of Education.

The ACR–Philippines project eResources initiative started in 2020, with the aim to support early literacy learning in mother tongues (MT) across the Philippines. Since then, the project has supported DepEd staff to develop over 250 eResources (ebooks and interactive primers) and has supported the Government in the development of TV episodes for distance education. Other projects and initiatives in the country, including the USAID/ABC+ project also implemented by RTI International, and UNICEF have also developed additional digital resources for students.
