2. Flexible Learning Environment
Learning nowadays is viewed differently. The
present generation of learners has
access to information at their fingertips. The
teacher is no longer seen as basically
the dispenser of knowledge but rather as one
who expertly directs the learners to take
their own track in searching for answers to
questions raised inside the classroom.
3. They can search the web and discover a breadth h
of information related
to the lesson. They even have the patience to stay
in front of the computer for an
unusually longer time in search for more articles
and multimedia materials that
simplify a challenging topic.
That is why they can sometimes learn more than
what is
confined in the four corners of the classroom.
4. Every chance or corner becomes a learning space. It is clear
that learning takes
place anywhere and this adds to the concept of flexibility
in the learning environment.
With technology, students can possibly continue to join
class sessions even if they are
not physically around. The learning space becomes virtual
or mediated. The library
is not only a physical structure where they can read
published books but has also
become virtual.
5. Online Distance Learning
Online distance learning is not a new concept. Some
schools, higher education
institutions in the country, and educational agencies
such as the Southeast Asian
Ministers of Education Innovations in Educational
Technology (SEAMEO-
INNOTECH) provide this mode of learning. lt allows
flexibility in learning to a
certain extent.
6. The Different Platforms
The flexible mode of learning uses a
platforms such as moodle, Google
Classroom, edmodo, schoology, etc. These
are iree programs designed for educational
purposes. It has features that are patterned
anter the instructional activities.

O' Hara, and Crystal Hutter.
10. Martina (2015) compared edmodo and Google
classroom in her blog. Although she discussed
several commonalities there are apparently
differences but with technology, things evolve
in a short time. What is
is clear is that they were created as aps that can
integrate well with classroom activities. The
decision
teaching and learning context. Both are
amazing tools that can be explored.
