Figure 7 shows the findings of the evaluation of Module 1 based on the
responses given by Focus Group 1 participants. It was found that most of the focus

group participants agreed, with a mean value of 4.0 and above, that the module had

good flow, was clearly written, was pitched at the right level, that instructional
design elements were evident, that the content was aligned with the learning

outcomes, and that the activity helped to deepen their learning. However, items

number 4 (capture interest to learn) and 6 (e ective ID elements) had a mean value
of 3.88 only each. The comment on the ID was observed across most modules. This

signified that the modules need to include elements to capture interest and
improve ID elements. The finding was also supported by comments from the

open-ended questions on module 2, for example:

The text in module 2 is too lengthy, need more instructional design input for

better understanding.

As a result, action was taken to review the modules in terms of the quality of
ID by sending them out to an external expert.
