Development of

Self Learning Materials

Aseem Ku. Patel


OSOU, Sambalpur
Objective
After going through the training Programme,
• What is Self Learning Materials?
• You will be able to explain the Structure of SLM
• You will be able to write the Units of SLM
What is ODL?
A system of education that attempts to remove the
administrative and educational bottlenecks experienced in the
traditional face-to-face system and brings about self-directed
and flexibility in learning such as place and time of learning.
ODL systems have a philosophy that aims to:
• Remove barriers to education, and
• Allow students to study what they want, when they want and
where they want.

In short, ODL is about increasing educational access and


increasing educational choice.
What is SLM?
Any learning resource that can be used by a
learner without the physical presence of a
teacher.
Example:
print, audio, video, multimedia, web, etc.

• Predominant form of ODL


• Learner Centred Materials
• With inbuilt Teacher
Characteristics of SLM?

1. Self-explanatory
2. Self-contained
3. Self-directed
4. Self-motivating
5. Self-evaluating
6. Self-learning
Textbook V/S SLM
SLMs are different from other learning materials because can
they make a learner

“think, write and do”

Think -through questions


Write -setting exercises
Do -through practical exercises / activities
Example
• Thinking
• can be stimulated by setting
• questions. Questions encourage a learner to
• stop and think for a while before moving to
• the next step.
• Writing
• exercises help learners to
• consolidate what they learnt. Writing notes /
• points also makes a learner attentive and active.
• Doing
• something practical helps in learning.
• It develops skills.
Textbook V/S SLM
Probably the four things that will be most noticeable are:
• • the wide range of learning devices,
• • the relatively low proportion of text compared to learning
devices,
• • the space that is often provided for learners to write their
answers in, and
• • the ‘generous’ layout overall.

Adopt/Adapt(Build) v/s Creation
Adopt:
If there are high quality, vetted Open Educational Resources available on the topic your course covers, and
you do not feel the need to edit or otherwise alter them for use in your course, you might consider
adopting them for use "as is." Adopting is the simplest way or including OER in your course, and the least
time intensive. 

Adapt/Build:
If there are OER available on the topic your course covers, but they are dated, too broad, or contain
information which is beyond the scope of your course, you may want to consider adapting the materials.
After checking that the Creative Commons license attached to the materials allows for adaptation, you
may choose to edit the materials to tailor them to your course. 
Alternately, if there are OER available on the topic your course covers, but no single resource is broad
enough to cover the needs of your course, you may want to consider building a "course pack," a selection
of various OER, free online materials, and websites which make up the resources for use in a course.
These packs can be extremely versatile and adaptable resources.

Create:
If there are no high quality OER available on your topic or if you have course materials which you believe
are superior to the OER available to you online, you may want to consider creating or licensing your own
course materials. Creating Open Educational Resources can be as simple as openly licensing and sharing a
syllabus you currently use or sharing lesson plans on OER repositories like OER Commons.
