Instructional Module
Instructional Module
Description
Standalone “modules” accessed by students independent of their teacher remain a prevalent means of instruction in technology and engineering education. Like all instructional techniques, modular instruction has some benefits and some detriments. One potential detriment is that most modules are developed and marketed by vendors, which can lead to a “vendor driven curriculum.” However, many technology and engineering educators have developed self-paced instructional modules well before the term modules became a household term in our profession.
Your challenge will be to develop an instructional module from scratch using limited materials and budget, and within a limited amount of time – just like in a real classroom.
