The frequency distribution, percentage distribution, and weighted mean were used to calculate the level of agreement and satisfaction. The findings suggest that students were very satisfied with the content, teaching and learning, support, feedback, and assessment utilized in the learning modules for Application Development and Emerging Technologies course. The results further highlight some essential insights from the respondents that instructors may consider when improving the instructional material. It can be concluded that students were very satisfied with the learning modules used for the Application Development and Emerging Technologies course. Further, the following considerations may be reviewed for future improvement of the learning material: ensuring that the contents are complete, informative, interesting, organized, and detailed; ensuring that the contents are relevant to the course, easy to understand, and valuable; challenging, inexpensive, and accessible, allowing students to develop and acquire a new set of knowledge and skills; assessment tasks that can be challenging but fun to execute, and allowing the students to increase interest in reading the contents of the learning modules.
