This paper seeks to explore the concept of the module as an instructional unit appropriate for use in college teaching. Although modules do not appear to be widely in use at the present time, the modular approach does offer promise for implementation at the college level. Thus, the paper calls attention to the concept of the module and its advantages in college teaching. The modular concept is further clarified by the presentation of a sample teacher education module and, finally, the paper explores the possibilities for use of modules at the college level. (Author)
