A module is a fully automated educational resource. A module may be studied without the intervention of an educator/trainer anonymously and in a self-driven way.
Each module serves a specific educational goal. It usually includes an introduction and content organized in chapters, additional reading resources (notes, bibliography, etc.), exercises with feedback and self-evaluation. Presentation of the content is made using text, graphics, video, interactive media or a combination of them. Exercises and self-evaluation are implemented using right/wrong questions, multiple-choice questions, drag & drop selections, etc.
