SUMMARY/REFLECTION ON FLEXIBLE LEARNING PEDAGOGICAL APPROACHES AND TECHNOLOGY

Having read several blogs, believe me there’re all nice and unique. Neil and Caroline and others have written some interesting items which are educative and reflective. My conclusion is that, flexible learning has a number of layers of meaning. Basically, this means that learning can be at outsized from the time and place dependencies of traditional learning environments and can be accessible at all stages of a learner's life.flexible learning can be supported by reducing barriers to access and opening new opportunities that will enable learners to participate in new technologies thus promotion of learners control on their time,content,entry requirement, instructional approaches, delivery and logistics.
From a pedagogical point of view, a set of strategies for learning and teacher is of great importance towards the delivery of information and technologies. There are a number of teaching methodogies that can promote learning and these include, problem based learning, collaborative learning, work based learning, enquiry learning and experiential learning. learners can work on with the support of e.g. forums, discourse, group discussion, or online course materials,multimedia,CD_ROMs,websites,videos,tapes and print materials.
lasty, Factors that hinder flexibility to be revised for better implementation and technology to be made effective to allow flexibility learning.Pedagogical approaches should aim to strategically support the implementation of technology that provides opportunities to end user to incorporate in the design process of learner’s flexible needs. The learners can benefit more if the pedagogies approaches are tailored to suit the technology to be applied.
