The respondents comprised of 20 teachers and 120 students who were exposed to the program. The research instrument used for the
data collection was a national questionnaire developed by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) to evaluate
on-line program. The same instrument was used by the National TVET Training Academy (NTTA) to evaluate different online programs for
It used appropriate statistical tools and treatment in the analysis of data and the SPSS program was employed in generating the
statistical result.
The analysis outcome showed that there was a strong relationship in the level of assessment between teachers and students of
