Guided learning modules are ideal for teaching students just beginning to use the ARDA to explore topics related to religion. These modules walk students through the process of finding and analyzing religion data on the ARDA. Self-directed modules are more advanced and require students to find and analyze religion data on their own, using the tools and resources of the ARDA. Learning modules are available for students at all skill levels and deal with a host of interesting and relevant religion topics.
