Flexible Learning

Environment
Module 4: Lesson 1
Intended Learning Outcome

▪ Describe a flexible learning environment and the


different platforms used for flexible learning
▪ Recognize how innovative teachers use online resources
and educational sites and portals for online distance
learning
▪ Reflect on the use of technology and on its relevance
and appropriateness
What is flexible learning
through online
communication?
Describe a flexible
learning environment that
enhances collaboration.
Distance learning is a form of
learning without a face-to-face
contact with the teacher and lessons
and activities delivered via
telecommunication. In the past, this
involves corresponding courses wherein
the student corresponded with the
teacher via mails.
With the advent of newer technologies,
distance learning is delivered via
computer – based media thus called
“online learning or e-learning”. This
made classroom borderless and learning
boundless. This was enhanced by the
emergence of web 2.0 tool which made
collaborative learning easier fun.
Flexible Learning
Environment
Learning nowadays is viewed differently since the present
generations of learners has access to information at their
fingertips.

▪ The teacher is no longer seen as


basically the dispenser of knowledge
but rather as one who expertly directs
the learners.

▪ They can search the web and discover a
breath of information related to the
lesson.
▪ They even have a patience to stay in
front of the computer for an unusually
longer time in search for more articles
and multimedia materials that simplify
a challenging topic
Online Distance Learning

Online distance learning is not a new


concept. Some school, higher education
institutions in the country, and
educational agencies such as the
Southeast Asian Ministers of Education
Innovation in Education Technology
(SEAMEO-INNOTECH) provide this mode
of learning.
It allows flexibility in learning to a certain
extent.
The Different Platforms:

Moodle
The Different Platforms:

Moodle
It is a free open-source learning
platform, Moodle is "community
driven, globally supported."
Documentation, trackers and
resources are all provided through
Moodle. The site does not have a
specific "K-12" product, however, if
a teacher or administrator is tech-
savvy enough, they can bend the
program to their school or
district's needs.
The Different Platforms:

Google Classroom
The Different Platforms:

Google Classroom
Classroom allows teachers to
create and collect assignments,
see what students have finished,
and give real-time feedback — all
online. No more trekking from
home to school with piles of
essays or tests to grade! While
most LMS platforms cost money to
implement, Classroom is currently
free — a massive plus for schools
that want to become more high-
tech but lack the budget
necessary to purchase a school-
The Different Platforms:

Schoology
The Different Platforms:

Schoology
While the software was initially
just used as a note-taking and
sharing platform, it developed
over time into a full LMS, complete
with resource folders, tracking
systems, and communication
programs. Schoology accounts are
free for parents, teachers, and
students; however, a license is
required if a school wants to link
data from the platform with its
other programs.
The Different Platforms:
MOOC (Massive Open Online
Course)

It is a model for delivering learning


content online to any person who
wants to take a course. It allows
one to pursue learning even
outside of university or higher
education formal structure.
In the flexible learning mode, the
activities can be done in two ways:

▪ One advantage is that you
can take your time when
replying (sometimes :D)
Blended Learning

Is another way of handling


flexible learning is by
combining modalities of
instructional delivery.
Blended learning is a
combination of a learning
activities wherein a part of
the lesson is delivered online
while the other is handled in
actual physical setting of a
classroom.
