● Are also called:
✔ Self-directed learning modules

✔ Self-paced learning

● A self-contained unit or package of study
materials for use by an individual.
Components of Self-Learning Modules
1. Introduction and instruction
2. Behavioral Objectives
3. Pretest
4. Learning Activities
5. Self-Evaluation
6. Post Test
Advantages of Self-Learning Modules
● The ability to learn independently and at one’s
own pace and in one’s own time.
● Can address a variety of learning styles adds
to their usefulness.
● Promote active learning and provide
immediate feedback on performance.
For Educators:
● Faculty who are frustrated by not having the
time to help students who are struggling have
that opportunity in the individualized
approach.
● Educators are freed from having to repeat the
same materials year after year, which can
become monotonous.
● Modules make it possible for a curriculum to
be standardized.
● All leaners using the same module will reach
the same learning outcomes.
For the Staff:
● Can reduce travel time for conferences
and reduce the amount of time that staff
nurses have to be away from their units.
● Can reduce the cost of in-service education
Disadvantages of Self-Learning Modules
● The fact that some learners may miss learning
with other people and miss the interactions
that take place in a classroom.
● In setting where module posttest is taken
without supervision, learners may be less than
honest about their result and thus forgo
needed learning.
