<h3>Definition of terms</h3> <p><strong>Module:</strong> Modules are units of learning defined by learning objectives. They are a way to organise, structure, present, deliver and administer education. A Modular system involves significant changes in both curriculum (the content and organisation of the course) and pedagogy (the teaching and learning related activities).</p> <p>Modularisation allows for greater flexibility in educational programme design. Subject matter organised into modules allows sharing of topics and competencies between and across degrees. It allows new methods of mixing and matching knowledge based on new visions of how thinking, learning and work occur in the present system of learning.</p>
