What is Flexible Education?

In its broadest sense, Flexible Education is about breaking with the traditional University teaching program. Economic, political and social forces require the loosening of constraints of time, place and pace in the delivery of tertiary courses.

The Faculty has addressed these forces in providing intensive programs of study, off-campus delivery of classes and the increasing use of computer-based technologies in teaching and learning.

The internet is one of the technologies with a great potential for accessing information, computer based communication and innovative teaching strategies - all at a global level! It is also a technology that is expected to improve in its capacity to transfer information.

With this in mind, the University uses an online course tool (FLO) to enable the flexible delivery of topics. FLO integrates learning material, communication, assessment and administration in an authenticated web site.
