Introduction
Learning guides are a very useful medium for delivering flexible delivery when the topic and circumstances are conducive to it. According to Bruhn and Guthrie (1994), a Learning Guide is a ’structured booklet designed to direct the learner through a series of learning activities and to a range of resources to achieve specified competencies or learning outcomes”.
A learning guide is not a ‘how to‘ manual like manuals that accompany television sets, microwaves and computers etc, but they may be used in conjunction with them. The key focus of learning guides (hereafter ‘guides’) is that they guide users through a structured learning experience. Manuals don’t do that, they simply provide a number of activities users can follow to get certain outcomes. An example will highlight the difference.
