Flexible learning is a principle of practice in formal education, concerned with increasing flexibility in the requirements, time and location of study, teaching, assessment and certification Flexible learning is not limited to online learning: it can include choices about when, where and how learning takes place, including part-time, distance, workplace-based and face-to-face forms of study. Collis and Moonen describe flexible learning as a broader way of understanding changes in learning, teaching, educational support, institutional organisation and technology use.
