Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There can be no doubt that the education sector is in a period of continuing turbulent change. Rapidly changing approaches to educational strategy and to teaching and learning have encouraged challenges to the established order and the emergence of new and imaginative ways of facilitating learning for all students. Essentially practical in approach, this multi-author book encapsulates a variety of the best current practice and theory in the development of innovative learning strategies in higher and further education. Conversing a wide range of subject disciplines and study levels, from undergraduate physics to post-experience studies for senior managers, it considers both the extent to which a quality service is ensured and measured and the practical implications for staff and students of implementing such initiatives.

Pressures to find ways of delivering courses to new markets, lifelong learners and part-time students have all contributed to the growth in finding ways of delivering flexible learning. This book provides case studies to illustrate the diversity of approaches and gives advice on good practice. The case studies paint a broad picture of flexible learning developments in higher education in the United Kingdom, Australia and the United States of America. Several trends concerning the introduction of flexible learning have emerged, and the contributors examine strategies that have been developed at an institutional or departmental level for supporting flexible learning initiatives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategic Choices for the Academy is filled with practical advice for developing strategic plans that will transform colleges and universities to meet the demands of today's (and tomorrow's) information age learner. Drawing on the strategic planning and management concepts, the authors reveal which innovative organizational structures, facilities, teaching approaches, reward systems, and delivery systems are most effective for providing education to this new segment of learners - those who come to learn in every stage of life and who may be increasingly reluctant to enroll in traditional campus settings. The book also presents a series of flexible models that can be adapted to the strategic direction and needs of individual institutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of essays from leading British, North American and Australasian contributors looks at the issues of the convergence of distance and conventional education. The term 'convergence' refers to the breaking down of barriers between open and distance learning and conventional institutions, and the creation of more and more institutions working across a range of modes. Such convergence has been driven by a number of factors, including the new technologies for teaching and learning, the impact of lifelong learning policies, the entry of larger than ever numbers of adult part-time students into tertiary education, and the demands of both employers and individuals for professional and work-related education throughout their working lives. The fourteen chapters engage critically with a range of aspects of convergence, including: * how well is open and distance learning carried out by conventional institutions for which it may continue for a lengthy period to be seen as of secondary importance? * to what extent will open and distance learning be more effectively carried out by conventional institutions able to offer a variety of modes to a wide range of learners? * how well will the variety of learners be served by systems that are converging? * what are the managerial issues at institutional level where converging systems are being developed?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flexibility has become a watchword in modern education, but its implementation is by no means a straightforward matter. Flexible and Distance Learning in Higher Education sheds light on the often taken-for-granted assumptions that inform daily practice and examines the institutional dynamics that help and hinder efforts toward flexibility. Contributors to the volume were asked to reflect critically on a series of questions, including: - What precisely is flexible learning? - Who or what is driving the flexibility agenda, and for whose benefit? And who or what is resisting it? - What challenges must be overcome in order to achieve flexibility, and what are some of the compromises it can entail? International in scope, with authors from North America, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, South Africa, Singapore, and Japan, Flexible and Distance Learning in Higher Education offers a wealth of theoretical insights and practical experience that will be invaluable to anyone seeking to extend the reach of higher education.
