An Educational Module is a comprehensive set of educational activities, meticulously designed to achieve specific learning objectives. It can be a course, a seminar, a workshop, or any other structured educational experience. Modules can have their parent module, thus forming a nesting structure. This helps represent complex educational programs in universities or schools. Each module is unique and is identified by a unique code. The duration of the module is measured in hours. The area of knowledge and the subject of study are also specified for each module. The level of the module indicates the complexity and the depth of knowledge required to undertake the module. The points system used in the module is also specified. The location of the module indicates whether it is conducted online, in person, or in a mixed format. The module also specifies for whom it is organized and who organized it. If the module is part of a larger module, the parent module's code is also specified.
