Book Synopsis

This book presents the collective experience of the staff from the range of departments and support services within a single university — the Loughborough University of Technology, U.K. — offering flexible learning. The contributors cover the full spectrum of issues, including: the student view of flexible learning; information technology for flexible learning; modularization across campus; coping with large classes; conventional lectures to guide self-study; and off-site support for flexible learners.
