This paper presents an interesting outline of what modular education could look like.
Super interesting fact: This study was done in 1998. While it is taking some time for all of us to get a hold of what modular education could/should look like the theory is here to stay. It's where educational minds were in 1998 and where they will be moving towards in 2025.
While the technology has changed since the publication of this paper, the theory still stands.
This article was interesting to me as it took the term modular into the creation of the classroom, considering how the classroom was built instead of the theory of what we do within the classroom.
