During this time of a pandemic, the traditional learning shifted to an online learning mode. This demands adjustments to both the teacher and the learner along with the learning resources they will utilize. The learner should be immersed in a personalized learning environment that suits the learner’s personal learning needs. Knowing these learning needs will enable both the learners and the teachers to create an inclusive learning environment. One of the learning needs is the students’ preferred online learning resources (OLR). There are four kinds of OLRs: texts, sounds, images/videos, and artefacts. The study aims to identify the preferences of the students on the kinds of online learning resources. Descriptive quantitative research design is the nature of this study which utilized online questionnaires to gather the data needed from the grade twelve students of LORMA Colleges Senior High School. The results show that artefacts are the most preferred OLR, followed by images/videos, texts, then sounds. Given these, the researchers created a LORMA E-Library prototype to establish a corpus of learning resources. The LORMA E-Library will enable students to have convenient and reliable access to various kinds of OLRs. The features of this LORMA ELibrary are based upon the innovative environment for OLRs, which are availability, accessibility, and convenience.
