course module
This is in more general usage in education. Just another version really of what Joachim suggests but more focused on the student. See these two links:

I should say that this is UK usage. 'Teaching module' might be used elsewhere.

broad subject area
Not very imaginative, maybe, but that would be my suggestion.
cf. DUDEN: Komplex = (1) Zusammenfassung, Verknüpfung von verschiedenen Teilen zu einem geschlossenen Ganzen, (2) Gebiet, Bereich
Look for an example of the term in here, does that convey your meaning?

Kim Metzger
: "didactic" in an educational context isn't nearly as common in English as it is in German. I don't think this proposal warrants a "5" confidence level.

But it has a very clear meaning which is understood and unambiguous in german and english and portrays what you translator wants it to. That is way 5 is in order. I am confident of this.

: Since you have chosen to argue the point, I'll post this not as a 'neutral' but as as a 'disagree'. AJS (ex-didact)
