Flexible and blended learning aims to enhance communication, collaboration, and engagement through allowing students to access information in a variety of ways and using multiple modalities to present information. It involves mixing different learning environments and using tools like communication and collaboration tools to present information and afford students more opportunities to learn. A scenario outlines discussing a subject and identifying areas for improvement in collaboration, communication, and engagement, then exploring how flexible and blended learning concepts and tools could incorporate aspects to improve the identified areas. The discussion would present at least three ideas for incorporating flexible and blended learning into the chosen subject cohort.
