What is my idea of flexible learning:
My idea of flexible learning, is not restricting learning to a classroom where the teacher holds all the knowledge. I see flexible learning as incorporating different learning styles through different forms of media e.g. websites, videos and discussion boards where learners are encouraged to discuss their personal experiences or external learning both formal and informal that they have carried out.
To make sure I am on the right track before I forge on ahead I looked up flexible learning in Google and found wikipedia’s definition:
Flexible Learning is a set of educational philosophies and systems, concerned with providing learners with increased choice, convenience, and personalisation to suit the learner. In particular, flexible learning provides learners with choices about where, when, and how learning occurs.

What examples of flexible learning does your idea draw on?
Examples of flexible learning, according to me, would be:
A video which learners can access from home which supports the content covered in class, or could be used instead of learners having to attend a class. It may be a video of a lecturer from another country.
An interactive website with questions and quizzes giving learners the opportunity to practise and cement their learning. The interactive website can be used to support theoretical components which learners need to know and this is a way of ensuring that those students who

Things to consider:
I think that it is important to consider the combination of different learning styles which make up your group of learners and incorporate aspects of each style into the design of your course.

For example using the VAK (Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic) learning styles model:
Auditory Learners you could ensure that you have audio accompanying the video or text.
Visual Learners you could include supporting written tasks accompanying a video or simulation.
Kinesthetic learners include interactive quizzes where students need to use the mouse to match items on the screen.
It is also important to consider the user friendliness of the flexible resources, are the learners able to navigate them easily, are my instructions of use clear.
