%X Open University Malaysia (OUM) is an open distance learning (ODL) institution;  adopting the blended learning pedagogy which provides flexibility and timeeffectiveness  for self-paced study to its learners. Learners do self-learning most of the  time. This calls for quality learning materials to support the learning process in an ODL  setting. OUM responded to this call by leveraging on Internet-based technology to  deliver educational content such as e-modules, video lectures, e-forums etc. to its  learners. Learners can now access the University’s e-content (2,431 e-modules and 288  video lectures) anytime, anywhere, via OUM’s learning management system,  myINSPIRE. Using descriptive and inferential statistics as the main analytical tool,  this study aims to gain insight into learners’ feedback on one of the core learning  materials – the e-modules. Responses from learners from various programmes and  clusters were collected via online surveys for two semesters (January 2018 and May  2018). A total of 238 and 488 learners responded to the January and May surveys  respectively. This paper discusses thee-modules in 10 dimensions from the  instructional design perspective encompassing areas such as the design, formatting,  self-check and activity questions, organisation of the content, ease of reading, graphics  as well as overall satisfaction. The results of this study would be able to provide some  insights to the education provider on the quality of the e-modules from the instructional  design perspective. (Abstract by authors)
