'Flexible learning' has a strong pedigree in the VET sector. But now I think it's useful to distinguish between first and second generation flexibility. First generation dates from the mid 90's and emphasised questions of access to learning(when, where, etc), but given the tools available at the time, led us to reliance on self-paced learning largely using print materials. This has created a strong legacy which is challenging to overturn. Second generation has to be more about quality of learning (how, for whom), using the much wider range of tools available today. It's a significant cultural challenge for many teachers, but I find the 'first gen, second gen' idea is useful in communicating the need for change.<BR/>Cheers,<BR/>GKGraeme Kirkwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04480037100320656301noreply@blogger.com
