Learning Module Format with Directions

A Learning Module is a sequence of Learning Activities or other modules, along with notes on sequencing, additional context, and other information.

Using This Format

The format below contains sections which describe the items that should be included when creating a Learning Module. To use this format:

1. Create a new page with a short, descriptive name that ends with "(Module)". For example: Garden a Wiki (Module)
2. Copy the source for this format into your new page.
3. Follow instructions to fill in the sections below.
   • Overview uses Template:Learning Activity Overview.
   • Additional Information uses Template:Learning Activity Info.
4. Categorize the page using tags at the bottom of the page.
   • Include [[Category:Learning Modules]] and [[Category:Learning Activity]].
   • Add at least one subcategory from the list in Learning Activities, e.g. [[Category:Coding and Style]]
   • Remove [[Category:Format]], since this page is a format, but your new page is not.
5. Use the Discussion tab (upper left of the page) to leave feedback to the author(s) of the activity, such as usage or suggestions for enhancements.
