This document outlines the key characteristics and advantages of self-learning modules. Self-learning modules are designed for students to learn at their own pace through structured content that provides prerequisites, objectives, self-checks, assignments and feedback without a teacher. The modules break content into manageable parts, use simple language, and include features to help students navigate and understand difficult concepts independently. Self-learning modules aim to develop students' independence and self-learning skills.
