Description
FOR distance learners (#KnowWho1) of the Extended Tertiary Education and

Accreditation Program (ETEAPP) and learning content experts (#KnowWho2)
WHO has the need to access quality online learning resources (learners) and provide
structured content to learners (authors).
Integrated System for Knowledge Objects (ISKO) is an integrated learning resource
system that includes learning content creation, learning content validation and
verification and an online store using multiplatform mobile and web technologies.
UNLIKE YouTube and other Learning Management System
ISKO offers simplified learning content known as sharable content objects (SCO) that
can be reused in different systems and context. It also allows content to be
downloaded in different devices and SCOs can be viewed offline anytime, anywhere.
Point of Contact
Dr. Alexander Delantar

Director, ETEAPP (Expanded Tertiary Education Equivalency Program)
CIT - University, Cebu City
The ETEEAP of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) is a comprehensive educational

assessment program at the tertiary level that recognizes, accredits and gives equivalencies to
knowledge, skills, attitudes and values gained by individuals from relevant work. It is implemented
through deputized higher education institutions that shall award the appropriate college degree.

Q1 Verify the problem
 As an administrator of ETEEAP, assessment of the qualifications of an applicant is

a tasking process. It involves evaluation of courses taken with respect to degree
program desired by the applicant. It also includes matching the skills (industry
experience) of an applicant versus the expected learning outcomes of the
program/course.
 As an evaluator, assessment of applicant’s skills is difficult. In degree programs like
engineering where mathematics is an essential skill an aptitude test is usually
administered. In courses like arts, philosophy, and other specialized courses,
assessment of skills is sometimes subjective.
Q2 What’s the hardest part about the problem?
• Designing a customized course content to improve an inadequate skill of an

applicant.
• Creating course content for distance learners/applicants.
• Assessment of the skills acquired after doing a task/project or after finishing a
course material.
Q3 Can you tell us about the last time it happened?
How often does it happen
• Almost every ETEEAP applicant is a unique case, so it happens all the time. For
example an applicant who fails in a mathematics aptitude test maybe made to
repeat the entire course. But if an applicant only gets the minimum passing mark,
remedial lessons for specific course content might be required.
Q4 What have you done to solve the problem?
• Require an applicant to sit in lectures.

• Require an applicant to enroll an online course, and acquire certifications.
• Customize a course content/requirement based on the needs of the applicant and
choose between online or face-to-face delivery.
Q5 What are your issues about the solutions you’ve
tried?
• Sitting in lectures is not a preferred option because most applicants have full time
jobs.
• Distance learners/applicants are more challenging to manage.
• Not all courses in a curriculum has an online equivalent or materials available
online.
Q6 What role would you play in choosing the
solution?
• As an ETEEAP Director, I make sure that programs are administered properly and
degree/diploma/certificate are awarded in accordance to the guidelines of CHED
and the University.
Q7 What do you think of our proposed solution?
• The CHED implementing guidelines for ETEEAP gives authority to the deputized
HEI to facilitate proper execution of the program. Integrated System for
Knowledge Objects (ISKO) would address some of the issues experienced by
HEIs to deliver properly ETEEAP through:
• Development and Peer Review of learning content
• Assessment mechanisms
• Offline management of learning resources.
• Hope this solution/tool will be endorsed by CHED.

ISKO Features
ISKO is based on the concept of shareable content objects* – an autonomous learning

unit (learning object / learning resource) that can be used in multiple eLearning courses, as
long as the same learning objective is covered. Each learning object is a collection of
content items, practice items, and assessment items that are combined based on a single
learning objective.
Learning object is the heart of ISKO.

Features include:
• Development and Peer Review
• Publication and Sale
