Abstract
The city’s local university Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Muntinlupa (PLMun) has to maintain and increase the quality of education so that the adaptation of a seamless, blended and digital learning has to be implemented by recreating new methods which require inspiration and innovation. The institutional adaptation of a seamless blended digital learning program is a major undertaking. Furthermore, for educators, digital learning has become a valuable resource, enabling a modern paradigm of information sharing in which students have the tools to learn at their own pace. The study aims to perceive the level of faculty and students’ acceptance and determine if there is a significant difference in the respondents and the effect of collective variables in Seamless Blended Digital Learning (SBDL), in terms of (1) Quality (2) User Satisfaction (3) Use (4) Perceived Benefits. Implementation as perceived by the faculty and students, (1) Adherence to Policy (2) Online Platforms/Technology (3) Academic Support (4) Monitoring and Evaluation (5) Flexible Learning Modality. Identify the effect of the SBDL implementation on the level of consumers’ acceptance. The quantitative research design was used in the study to assess the level of Seamless Blended Digital Learning (SBDL) Implementation (Adherence to Policy, Online Platforms/Technology, Academic Support, Monitoring and Evaluation, and Flexible Learning Modality) and its level of acceptance (Quality, User Acceptance, Use and Benefits) assessed by the faculty of Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Muntinlupa. Various factors might cause these results which may include the student’s awareness of the contents of the policy, the attitude of the students in accepting the policy, the execution of the policy, and/or the policy itself, but are not limited only to these reasons. On the other hand, Online Platforms/Technology was also found to have a significant positive effect only to Use. The standardization of the Learning Management System to be used for the 1st Semester of A.Y. 2020-2021 might be difficult for the students, especially for those who cannot afford to go online and attend synchronous sessions. Based on the results and conclusions of the study, the following are recommended: (1) The opinion and concern of all stakeholders both faculty and students; (2) the policy in implementing of SBDL program; (3) all stakeholders for the SBDL program must be represented in the reviewing process; (4) SBDL program another research should be conducted to view the effectiveness of the revised policy; (5) the online platform/technology be highly utilized for further enhancement of the online class; (6) the university administration should continually support and strengthen its commitment; (7) the monitoring and evaluation of the execution program; and (8) the flexible learning modality continually conduct by the faculty for an equal learning opportunity for all students.
