Flexible Learning

An educational approach that provides students with choices in how, when, where, and at what pace they learn. Flexible learning may include options such as recorded lectures that can be watched at variable speeds, asynchronous participation, multiple formats for content delivery, and adjustable deadlines. For students with disabilities, flexible learning can provide accessibility benefits that were previously available only through formal accommodation requests—such as allowing students with fatigue conditions to attend class without travel or enabling students with attention difficulties to pause and review content.
