Flexible learning and teaching: an opportunity for growth - Morten Brekke, University World News

Institutions are urged to cultivate a culture of flexibility and adaptability by dedicating time and resources to define ‘flexible learning’ collaboratively. Engaging stakeholders, including students, faculty and external partners, is crucial to identifying priorities and developing a comprehensive strategy. Additionally, institutions should advocate for a dialogue with policy-makers to address the regulatory and funding challenges associated with flexible learning. The use of digital technologies, including artificial intelligence, should be integrated ethically and sustainably. Quality assurance mechanisms must adapt to the evolving needs of teachers and students engaging in flexible learning.
