4. Structure of a unit: The structure helps to make the study material more accessible to the distance learner. It represents a broad outline to the contents of the course writer and consequently helps to differentiate and logically arrange sections and sub-sections of the text to make the unit more useful to the learner. The sections and subsections of the unit should be numbered. For example, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3. 1.4 etc. In these numbers, the left digit of the point refers to the unit number and the digit on the right side of the point refers the section number, that is, the first section of the unit 1, the second section of the unit 1 and third section of unit 1, etc. Likewise, a section may be divided into "sub-section" using two points, e.g., in section 3 the subsections may be expressed as 1.3.1, 1.3.2, 1.3.3, 1.3.4, etc. You would now see that each number stands for a purpose in the unit, section or sub-section. For example, 1.3.3 tells us unit 1, section 3 and sub-section 3. While, writing the unit, we do not use number beyond two points. If you feel the parts of a sub-section are necessary, these should be included in the sub-section without giving any number. To highlight the parts, bold type face letters should be used.

6. Designing the Content: We follow some principles involved in educational psychology while designing the content. Some important principles are as below:
(i) Begin from known to unknown: All units should be The linked with the previous knowledge of the learner. new knowledge will be effective only when it is related with his previous experience or to day-to-day life.
(ii) Move from simple to complex: To develop interest and motivate the distance learner, simple concepts should
