Student Experiences of Flexible Learning
نویسنده
چکیده
At the beginning of 1998, Griffith University opened a new campus in Logan. In order to provide a breadth of study opportunities, and to expand access opportunities to those who are unable to attend the campus regularly, the University offers subjects at Logan through flexible modes of delivery. The Logan teaching and learning environment includes a range of approaches to flexible learning. In particular less reliance on timetabled face to face interaction and an increasing use of the world wide web for teaching and learning. This paper details a small research project that was undertaken to find out how students were approaching their studying at Logan and what resources they found to be most and least valuable for their learning. A particular focus was the use of web resources for learning.
