The sudden shift of learning modality from face-to-face to blended learning has created academic stress among learners. This was because the Department of Education has decided to continue its efforts in providing education despite the current pandemic the world is facing. Deped Order No. 12 s. 2020 [1] also referred as “Adoption of the Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan for SY 2020- 2021 in Light of Public Health Emergency” was implemented last October 2020. As a response towards BE-LCP of DepEd, the Schools Division Office- Mandaluyong declared a memorandum [2] that the division adopts the blended learning modality which is a combination of online distance learning and modular learning strategy. Under online distance learning modality are options to use google meet, zoom, Microsoft teams and messenger classroom in conducting synchronous classes. In connection to these modalities, research teachers have tried out most of the strategies given to have a depth discussion of research writing among students. Often the most heard reaction among students is the lack of collaboration among group members since they are not allowed to have face-to-face interaction due to the situation at hand. This study is aimed at determining the impacts of Hyperdocs (a compound word from hyperlink and google docs) on research writing skills among learners. Utilizing Hyperdocs, results of this study indicated significant improvement of research writing skills and fostered collaborative sessions among respondents.
