Flexible Learning, Human Resource and Organisational Development - Putting Theory to Work (Hardcover)

Recent challenges facing higher and tertiary education such as the impact of globalization and the emergence of new technologies, have called for a radical reconceptualization of the teaching-learning nexus. This book addresses contemporary contexts of flexible learning and its practices, and provides insights about directions in which education and training providers may be required to go in order to implement flexible learning in a variety of settings. Key issues and debates include: the social and economic dimensions of flexible learning and delivery; the implications of globalization and internationalization for higher education; flexible learning, knowledge and power; institutional strategies for implementing flexible learning and delivery; and practicing flexible learning through media and new technologies. By focusing on practical, critical perspectives, contributors from the UK, Canada and Australia present a state-of-the-art picture of the conceptualization of flexible learning and the implications of flexible delivery systems for individuals, educational organizations and industries interested in work-place based learning.
