The Skills Funding Agency clarifies that further education providers are not expected to deliver 10% of all courses entirely online by 2016. Rather, providers should determine where blending online and classroom delivery can improve learning programs. This blended approach can provide learners with more flexible access to education and opportunities to learn at their own pace, developing digital and employability skills.

2. Are further education providers supposed to be having
10% of their courses delivered online by 2016?
The Skills Funding Agency response
“We are not expecting providers to convert 10% of learning
delivery in each programme of study ‘en bloc’ to online to meet
a ‘directive’. Rather, we are encouraging providers to establish a
strategy to determine where the adoption of a greater ‘blend’ of
delivery and assessment types adds most value to a learning
programme.
Providing 19/11/2014
learners with improved access to learning outside the
classroom, increasing their ability to learn and to assess
themselves at their own pace as well as to develop new digital
skills and networking opportunities to enhance employability.”
