Handbook SIM

Self-Instructional Material (SIM) is a type of instructional material that enables learners to acquire knowledge and skills in a self-paced, self-directed manner. SIM is designed to provide learners with a flexible and accessible learning experience that allows them to take control of their learning process.
The purpose of SIM is to enable learners to learn on their own, without the need for constant guidance or support from an instructor. SIM is particularly useful for learners who may have limited access to traditional classroom-based instruction, or who prefer to learn at their own pace.
Self-Instructional Material (SIM) is designed to be a comprehensive learning experience that is self-contained. It should provides learners with all the necessary resources and information to complete the course. In contrast, traditional classroom-based instruction may require additional materials or resources, as well as direct instructions from the instructor.

SCOPE OF THE CODE OF PRACTICE FOR PROGRAMME ACCREDITATION-OPEN
AND DISTANCE LEARNING

A programme of study is deemed as an ODL programme if more than 60% of the courses offered in the programme are conducted via open and distance learning. In order for a course to be considered as an ODL course, at least 80%1 of the student learning time (SLT) must be delivered via open and distance mode. This must be supported through regular and substantive interaction between the learner and the instructor synchronously or asynchronously via an electronic learning platform, the provision of self-instructional learning materials and other learning support services. The face to face contact sessions between the learner and instructor can be conducted in various modalities which may include physical or virtual sessions.

Template Prompt for the Development of Effective Self-Instructional Material (SIM)

This template prompt aims to assist lecturers, researchers, and module developers in producing Self-Instructional Material (SIM) that is well-structured, clear, and easily understood by students. By using this template, the process of developing self-learning materials can be carried out more systematically, emphasizing key elements such as learning objectives, core content, self-learning activities, and assessments to evaluate students’ understanding.

In addition, this template prompt serves as a reference and basic guideline for module developers in planning content that aligns with the needs of modern teaching and learning practices. Its use helps ensure that the SIM developed has a sound pedagogical structure, supports independent learning, and enhances the effectiveness of knowledge delivery to students.
