    self.class does get you the class of the object the method is called on. Assuming the module was included into a class, this either is the class that included the module or a subclass thereof. If you really just want the name, you can use self.class.name instead.

    If you extended a class with the module and you want to get that class, you can just do cls = self (or cls = name if you want the name of the class as a string).

    If none of the above helps, you should clarify what you want.
