Abstract - This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of “I-WRITE”: A Self-paced Interactive E-learning Module, on the writing performance of the participants in the course Campus Journalism, specifically on Editorial Writing and Photo Journalism. The participants of the study were the purposively chosen third-year BSED English students of Iloilo Science and Technology University Miagao Campus who were taking Campus Journalism Course for the academic year 2023-2024. The study used one group pretest- posttest design. Statistical tools utilized were mean, standard deviation and Wilcoxon Signed- Rank Test set at 0.05 level of significance. A practical analysis was conducted to determine the participants' learning experiences on the utilization of “I-WRITE” as an e- learning module. Based on the results of the study, it was revealed that participants had “good” writing performance in both pretest and posttest; yet, a significant increase in mean score was evident in the posttest results. Inferential results also revealed that there was a significant difference in the writing performance of the participants after the implementation of “I-WRITE” as an e- learning module. Furthermore, practical analysis revealed that the participants expressed a positive learning experience in utilizing the aforementioned e-learning module. As revealed in the interview results, it was found that I-WRITE served as an instrument in allowing learners to apply their writing skills, it enhances/ develops learners’ writing abilities, provides learners with a step-by-step process in writing, and gives them time to do their tasks at their own pace. Finally, it provides more fun in learning. With this, it can be concluded that “I-WRITE” as a self- paced interactive e-learning module was proven effective when utilized in teaching Editorial Writing and Photo Journalism.
