Zusammenfassung:"Flexibility has become a watchword in modern education, but its implementation is by no means a straightforward matter. Flexible Pedagogy, Flexible Practice sheds light on the often taken-for-granted assumptions that inform daily practice and examines the institutional dynamics that help and hinder efforts towards flexibility. The collection is international in scope, drawing on the experience of specialists in distance education from North America, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, South Africa, Singapore, and Japan. Contributors to the volume were asked to reflect candidly and critically on questions that include: * What precisely is flexible learning? * Who or what is driving the flexibility agenda, and for whose benefit? And who or what isresisting it? * What challenges must be overcome in order to achieve flexibility, and what are some of the compromises it can entail?"--Publlisher's description.
