Delivery Method:
Flexible Study (FS)
In this course delivery model students work independently at their own pace. Students progress through learning resources that are acquired from external sources or developed internally following principles of instructional design. They can post questions to an online conference monitored by an instructor, and access to sample exams and diagnostic quizzes. Some courses using this model offer an optional Open Lab where students can receive additional learning support. Assessment is by examination and assignments.
