Abstract: The present study examined the implementation of offline learning through modular and online asynchronous instruction at a local polytechnic college. The study employed a qualitative phenomenological design, which focused on the faculties and students’ lived experiences as they engaged in offline learning. Thematic analysis was used as the researchers drew upon interviews conducted virtually with the faculty and students of a local polytechnic college. Separate questionnaires were prepared for the faculty and students. Data analysis underwent two phases: first, through the independent analysis of each researcher, followed by a comparative analysis of the findings. The data gathered were categorized into four themes: institutional practices of the local polytechnic college, faculty and students’ perceptions of learning delivery, significant stories, and challenges and issues faced by the faculty and students during the implementation of offline learning. Major similarities among the lived experiences of the interviewees and their recommendations for each category are reported. Two frameworks emerged based on the results of the study. These frameworks may be benchmarked and applied in future adoptions of offline learning for both faculty and students. In addition, these may be studied further to develop a more effective and efficient implementation of offline learning.
