TEMPLATE 2: Course pack Structure
(This template must be accomplished after the team approves Template 1. A very important step in completing this template is
the decision of the team to cluster the Intended Learning Outcomes in order to make a decision as to the number of modules in a
course pack. This also serves as a basis in assigning writers for each module and lessons. This template can help avoid
overlapping of topics and/or outcomes and must be deliberated and agreed upon by the team as the concept map of the entire
course.)

Module OverviewProject WRITE

(YouXI:may start writing this part by welcoming students in module 1.
An Easy Guide for Course Pack making and Module Development
You may then proceed to introduce students with the general view of
the module. Since the course is expected to deliver in a customized
10-12 weeks; because in face-to-face, we expect to deliver the
 course within 18 weeks. The module writer should design the
module by rationalizing the core of the course. Hence, this part
should only contain one-paragraph of not more than five sentences
to give the students a clearer view of the module. The course pack
can be divided into 4 to 6 modules depending on how the teacher-
writer organized the core contents of the course.)

Module
Objectives/Outcomes
(this part tells our students the specific objectives or outcomes of the
module lifted each lesson. Module outcomes may not necessarily
contain all the objectives found in the lessons.)

Taken from clustered ILOs

Lessons in the module For students to have an idea, just simply enumerate lessons
contained in a module.

Lesson 1: Title
Lesson 2: Title
Lesson 3: Title

Note: Number of Lessons may vary depending on the number of

ILOs to be covered. May vary from 2 to 5.

Lesson No. and Title

Learning Outcomes : (This part of the lesson structure can be lifted from the ILO in
the learning plan)

Time Frame Just simply indicate the expected time for students to complete
the lesson
Introduction
(This part of the lesson introduces students to the lesson itself,
what to expect, activities to accomplish, allotted time and other
significant inputs the teacher-writer wants to include. Please
note, the introduction may not necessarily be lengthy. It has to be
five sentences maximum so as not to bore our students with
reading. You may start with a welcome note to students. Maintain
a friendly tone and be interactive.)

(This first part of the lesson design requires the teacher-writer to

Activity think of activity/ies that would challenge students to think and
connect their background knowledge and experiences so as to
give them an idea of the lesson. The teacher-writer may start the
lessons by using a variety of activities that will build the concepts
of the topic being presented. Instructions should be written

innovative and appropriate activities to set mood and to foster
higher order thinking. The activity should build the concept or
ideas that will be introduced in the lesson particularly in the
 abstraction phase.)

Analysis (Draw out responses of the learners by giving analysis questions.

Use a variety of questions to elicit reactions from the learners.
Anticipate their responses and use these for giving feedback.
Write a statement that will connect the activity to the abstraction
phase of your lesson.)

Abstraction (This is the phase where you are to discuss and give inputs about
the topic. This should be written in a brief manner and direct to
the point. Use simple language and no complicated sentences.
Present only one idea in a lesson. Instead of writing more text,
use illustrations, pictures and graphics in presenting the
concepts. This will not only help you avoid a text heavy module
but it will also improve your presentation, design and layout.
Remember that a text heavy and poorly layout and designed
module will not attract readers.)

Application (Provide innovative and appropriate activities to enable

participants to utilize the general knowledge they have gained in
the lesson. Instructions should be written clearly to avoid
confusions. Remember that a self-instructional module maybe
used by the learners anytime and anywhere and the teacher is not
always there to provide them with assistance.)

Closure (You may close the lesson by congratulating the learner for the
job well-done; and provide a link to the next lesson for
continuity.)

MODULE ASSESSMENT (After the students have read and studied all the lessons in the
module, it is at the institutional level to decide whether to administer assessment in any forms.
This part allows flexibility within the institution.)
For Fundamentals in IS, the suggested assessments are:
● Discussion Questions
● Case Study Analysis
● Hands-On Exercise (Excel Exercises, Video Presentation, Blogs, Internet Research or
WebQuest)
● ISDP
MODULE SUMMARY (This part summarizes the highlights of the entire module and it is
strongly suggested that you may go back to the module objectives to ensure congruency and
coherence of the module.)
REFERENCES
(Must be written in APA format)
IMPORTANT Reminders:
1. References should be added at the end of each module.
2. Number of modules may vary depending on the number of clustered ILOs that are
significant to the course.
3. Each module could have a maximum of 5 lessons.
4. If there are significant contents/readings necessary for the abstraction part, it can be
put as an annex or appendix of the entire course pack. However, proper labelling is
necessary.
5. Use A4 paper size, Times New Roman font style, size 12, 1.5 inch left
margin and 1inch on the remaining sides. Use single line spacing in the
module contents.
6. The module format should be followed for the project write. The template and
format may be customized should the participating HEIs wish to implement it in their
respective institutions.
