MY EXPRIENCE

The development of a lesion plan has provided an experience on the use of flexible electronic learning environment that can be utilized to benefit the learners in a global society. The experience has also broadened my understanding and valuable insights in the Course and the use of technology to support teaching and learning. Such questions like:
What is flexible learning?
How can flexible learning be realized and supported?
What is the starting point towards the realiasatoin of flexible learning?
These and many other questions could be asked?
Flexible learning might provide some of the answers.
According to Collin and Moonen (2001) there is much that can be done and involved in moving from fixed, or less fixed, to more flexible learning. There is need to explore opportunities available in the electronic environment that would advance and promote more flexible learning to learners while embracing the concept of continuous learning. As part of my reflection, flexible learning will be discussed and how technology can enhance learning will also be elaborated.
Flexible learning
This is the learner’s choice of accessing different available learning options to advance their learning. Learners will find ways of learning for example Online learning and other learning media.
Flexibility to time
The learner may choose time when to start the course and the facilitator can determine with the learner on modalities of the training. The learner is reponsibity for the learning environment and requires self monitoring. The learner has a choice of the learning environment for example moodle or Online page. The facilitor/instructor can organize content and assignments that the learner will use.Commuinication and efficiency on the material including feed back is essential in the processes.e.g Online pages and other net works.
Flexible to content
The course work to be flexible in term of programming learning materials and assessment standard to be considered. The learner’s active participation on communication may also contribute in meeting the course requirement in terms of when to begin the course and when to end. The learner/facilitor organize for key events occur, for example examinations some exams could be done an on line net work

Flexibility to instructional approaches and recourses
The facilitator/instructor can shift roles to primary been the designer and moderator of the student form the facilitator. The learner would work/use with materials that are designed by the course provider. Face to face can be arranged depending on the location, other technological facilities can be used.


Flexibility related to delivery and logistics
An electronic environment may be the core system of the net working. The facilitator/instructor can manage the site that is used as a tool for course delivery and content to be communicated through the choosen media. The learners have also an option to choose the course and the mode of access they feel is conducive.
