Abstract: The main goal of an Individual Learning Package (ILP) is to assist teachers in creating learning environments that are more humanized. ILP's should permit students to learn at their own unique rates, to have alternative ways to meet stated goals, to plan their own learning sequences, and to be successful with varying levels of self-initiative and self-direction. Presenting the ILP approach to instructional management through curriculum design, the curriculum components are: what will be learned (concept, skill and value statements), what changes will occur (learning objectives), what will facilitate those changes (IL materials and activities), how evaluation can help (pre-,self- and post-evaluation), and finally, future goals. Organizing the ILP components and evaluating for ILP improvement are discussed.
