Learning Module Matrix
Each learning module consists of 7 components, and the template lists criteria and guidelines for module
development
The module matrix also includes suggestions for guiding students for readiness as online learners.
Module Matrix
1. Pre-Assessment — Prior to beginning the module, students are assessed to determine their entry-level knowledge of the topic. Assessments may take a variety of forms including: objective questions (scored automatically by the courseware), short-answer or essay questions, case study analysis. Results of the module Post-Assessment will be compared with this Pre-Assessment to measure students' learning outcomes.
Module Matrix2. Learning Outcomes - Include the actions, performance criteria, and conditions of what the student will be able to do.

Learning Outcomes are aligned with all the other elements of the learning module — Communication, Activities, Resources, Materials, Assessment
Module Matrix
3. Assigned Reading — Specify chapters, pages, documents, slides, websites. Provide guided reading suggestions or points to look out for in the reading. Align the reading assignment with the module learning outcomes.

comment. c. Student submission of quality web resources on the
module topic. d. Self-assessment quiz using online assessment tools.
Module Matrix
6. For Further Study — Provide links to Web resources to engage students in reinforcing what they’ve learned and exploring advanced-level concepts. Have students learn to utilize the school’s library databases to search for current articles on the topic.
Module Matrix7. Assessment — The purpose of the assessment is to
measure the achievement of the Learning Outcomes for the module. Suggested formats for the assessment:
a. Demonstrate how learning is connected to the real world.
