Abstract : One of the areas affected by this 2019 Novel Corona is education. Educators had stopped the conduct of face to face classes since it had been instantly cancelled wherein obliging many schools to immediately convert to different teaching modalities had been adopted. Integration of digital and collaborative tools in the delivery mode of teaching is needed in order to engage students in active learning. This study aimed to conduct a training needs assessment among the ISPSC Educators to assess their level of knowledge along digital and collaborative tools in the delivery mode of teaching as a basis for training implementation. Respondents include ISPSC Educators of Ilocos Sur Polytechnic State College. Data were collected, tallied and analyzed. The weighted mean was computed to analyze and interpret the training needs assessment among Educators. Findings suggested that this study enabled the ISPSC Educators to leverage their technology skills prioritizing the use and integration of digital and collaborative tools to engage students in active learning. The level of knowledge based on the training needs assessment resulted in a weighted mean of 1.72 interpreted as “No Knowledge” which means ISPSC educators must undergo training on different digital and collaborative tools integrating it in their mode of teaching delivery. The study findings are useful to ISPSC Educators intending to integrate the digital and collaborative tools in their teaching mode of delivery to better maintain the engagement of students in collaborative learning.
