A presentation from the HEA's Research Conference: Promoting Equity in Higher Education 2010.
This workshop will focus on the findings of a synthesis of key reports and literature in the area of flexible learning. This includes findings on the contribution of flexible learning to improving access for under-represented groups (lower socio-economic groups and disabled in particular) and the contribution of different types of flexible/lifelong learning to the experience and success of those students within and beyond higher education. Participants will be invited to engage with the findings and examine the implications of the key messages for different stakeholder groups in their own institution. The session is being led by one of the authors of the synthesis which is due for publication in Spring 2010.
