Flexible Learning


Choose how you learn: in-person, real time;  online, real time; online, anytime.

Flexible learning courses allow you to choose how to participate — every day. That means that you’re in control of how and where you learn. You could come to class one day, attend online in real time another day, and complete work in Canvas on your own another day. All flexible learning courses offer at least two options for participation, and some offer all three. Check with your instructor for details.

How do I know if flexible learning is right for me?

You’re motivated to complete work on time and feel confident asking for help. You’re comfortable with technology and online learning. You have a reliable computer, microphone, webcam, and access to high-speed internet.
