The need to develop new ways of learning has become a live issue in HE largely linked with the demand for increased flexibility of pace place and mode of delivery. This project:
- provides information and examples of pedagogical practices that:
- are most likely to be effective
- will contribute to the empowerment of learners in the 21st century
- recommends preparations for implementation of these practices to institutions
- establishes a database of pertinent initiatives which can serve as a set of resources for the sector
The project initially focused on four flexible learning strands. A report is available for each one:
- part-time learners and learning
- employer engagement and work-based learning
- new pedagogical ideas
- technology-enhanced learning
An overarching flexible pedagogies report provides an overview of each separate report and includes a critical analysis of:
- what flexibility may mean
- the conditions under which increased flexibility is likely to flourish within the UK HE system
Conditions of Flexibility: securing a more responsive higher education system
