As part of the Connect Benefit Series on Student Success Advance HE will publish a literature review on flexible learning 2016-21. This project reviews detailed research undertaken across the world, using quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods, including a few conceptual articles published between 2016 and 2021. The review was conducted by Professor Mark Loon of Northumbria University and looks in depth at over 105 research articles.

In the second episode of this podcast series, Kim Ansell, Senior Advisor at Advance HE, is joined by Professor Lisa Hanna, Dean of Students and leader of the Office of the Dean of Students at Deakin University, Australia, to share her insights and expertise on how institutions create an inclusive culture which enables innovative and flexible teaching and learning.
