Abstract:

This article examines the application of modular learning technologies within higher education. It outlines the core principles of modular design, including defined objectives, self-containment, learner autonomy, integrated assessment, and technology leverage. The potential benefits for university students, such as enhanced flexibility, personalized learning paths, targeted skill development, improved feedback mechanisms, and fostering lifelong learning habits, are analyzed. Concurrently, the article addresses significant implementation challenges, including module design quality, student readiness for self-direction, faculty development needs, maintaining curricular coherence, and ensuring equitable technological access. The discussion concludes that while modular learning presents a promising approach for future-ready education, its successful adoption necessitates careful planning, robust support structures, and a strategic institutional commitment.
