A RACHEL module is a set of HTML open source learning materials that genereally cover a topic, for example easy reading books or secondary school curriculum. Each module has its own HTML file (often, but not necessarily, index.html) that is loaded when the module is selected. World Possible makes the RACHEL modules available from its site OER2Go (OER2go.org). You can create a RACHEL module, using your own open source learning materials and upload that module to your RACHEL Plus system.
