Edit a module

With this form, you create a step-by-step module on research integrity or ethics. This can be used to provide instruction on a particular topic. You might want to use it for a tutorial, teaching material, case analysis tool, or an educational game.

Every single module is intended for just one type of user. That sets it apart. It might be that you write an instruction for a group session with a facilitator and participants. You would then need to write two pages, one with the steps for facilitators and one with the steps for participants.

Before you submit, please be aware of our community guidelines.

Do you want your training and project to be featured on the Embassy?

Feel free to contact us to discuss the options.

<span lang="EN-GB">Once you have familiarized yourself with the material and defined the learning goals for your teaching activity, you can begin planning your session(s). After establishing these goals, consider assigning participants the completion of those micromodules which can '''provide them with the foundational knowledge required to engage meaningfully''' with the activities in your session(s).</span>
