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. Then they bring these back to the class for further discussion until
perhaps resolutions are agreed. They can search the web and discover a breadth 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 walls of the classroom.
Every chance or corner becomes a learning space. It is clear that learning takes place everywhere
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 physical around. The learning space becomes
virtual or mediated. The library is not only a physical structure where they can read published books but
also has become virtual.

Online Distance Learning

- also called distance education, e-learning, and online learning.
- form of education in which the main elements include physical separation of teachers and students
during instruction and the use of various technologies to facilitate student-teacher and student-
student communication.
