The results of the study showed that the overall value of the content validity index of I-CVI and S-CVI was high with value of 1.0 and the overall percentage of module content was obtained as 94%. The findings of the study also found the whole construct; module usability (96.7%), module content (90.8%), teaching assignments and activities (93.2%), module suitability (95.6%) and teaching evaluation (93.8%) obtained values above 90% while I-CVI and S-CVI with a value of 1.0 for each construct.
