Opis

Interest in flexible learning strategies is growing as higher education institutions are changing their approach to teaching and learning in order to face a number of new challenges. These challenges include the ever increasing student number, the diversity of students with differing backgrounds, experiences and entry qualification, and the availability of new technologies. This book brings together the collective experiences of staff from a variety of departments and support sections within one such higher education institution. Examining practical problems and identifying solutions, the book also addresses the broader issues relating to flexible learning, including: the student view of flexible learning, information technology for flexible learning, modularization across campus, coping with larger classes, conventional lectures to guided self-study, and off-site support for flexible learners.
