DESIGNING A

LEARNING MODULE
LEARNING MODULE: ITS MEANING

• A Learning Module is a logically structured collection of

course content. Conceptually, it is similar to a chapter in a
textbook.
• A Learning Module may consist of several sections and
activities. Teachers can add folders and sub-folders
to a Learning Module and impose a hierarchical structure
over the content.
 USING THE LM

• Brings the processes of documenting learning.

Teachers may choose to open up their processes so
other teachers can know what their learners have
learned; learners can see where they have come from
and where they are going; and parents can see what
learners are learning.
 USING THE LM

• Places an emphasis on the teacher as learning designer,

rather than their historic role as a curriculum implementer
and a conduit of syllabus and textbook. It also frames the
school as a knowledge producing community. For instance,
the Learning Module will allow teachers to create grounded,
localized versions of environmental studies, social studies
or historical studies
 USING THE LM

• Caters to learner diversity, allowing for multiple

individualized or small group learning paths
drawing from the bank of online-accessible
lessons in a teacher’s own Learning Module
portfolio or assigned by a teacher
 USING THE LM

• Enables ongoing evaluation, accountability and

reporting. The Learning Modules allow teachers to
make close links into curriculum frameworks and
standards. It also provides a Learning Outcomes space
for continuous, formative and summative assessment of
student learning.
