2008 - 2013 Flexible Learning Course

by Steve p2008

It is a pleasure to welcome you all to the Flexible Learning course. Your facilitators are Bronwyn Hegarty and Veronique Olin from the Educational Development Centre, Otago Polytechnic. This week is an introductory week, and an orientation to the class and the requirements of the course.  We are really interested to find out who you are, and hear about your opinions and experiences of  flexible learning. 

All the information for the course can be found on the Course Wiki - in the Flexible Learning Guidebook. This week, please familiarise yourself with the Homepage, the Course Outline, and the information in Introduction  |  Assessments.

A discussion forum on the Moodle course - GCTLT - Flexible Learning - will be used for you to aks questions about the topics, and we will send out a weekly reminder about reading this blog - where all announcements and reminders about the activities will be posted each week. Watch out for the first email alert from the forum to your inbox.
