Abstract: The present study explores the first foray of a Local College or University (LUC) into offering off campus learning opportunities for the least privileged community members through Modified Distance Learning. The focus was primarily on delivering content and assessing student learning through three delivery modes: offline, offline but digital, and purely online. In addition, this Modified Distance Learning breaks down the semester’s classes into two ‘sets’ of courses in consideration of the amount of workload that a full schedule would be required from the students.The present study details the 3-month intensive faculty training and investments that the LUC underwent in preparation for the first semester of the Academic Year 2020-2021 and the implementation of Modified Distance Learning from August to December 2020. Furthermore, the present study addresses the sustainability of Modified Distance Learning as a permanent offering even after face-to-face classes become permitted, as well as the possibility of its adoption by other LUCs, especially those that cater to similarly situated student populations.
