NKI basic philosophies concerning online learning ,[object Object],Individual learning provides much individual flexibility, but little learning community Cooperative learning provides much individual flexibility and access to a learning community Collaborative learning requires participation in a learning community, but limits individual flexibility

NKI basic philosophies concerning online learning NKI Distance Education facilitates individual freedom within a learning community in which online students serve as mutual resources without being dependent on each other. We build on adult education principles and seek to foster benefits from both individual freedom and cooperation in online learning communities. Cooperative learning is based on voluntary participation in a learning community
