(101) THE FLEXIBLE UNIVERSITY: INNOVATION, EFFICIENCY, OR EQUITY?

摘要

In the 21st century, universities increasingly operate as digital institutions: nearly every aspect of today’s university teaching and learning enterprise is mediated by technology-either technology enhanced or technology enabled. In other words, it is not a question of whether technology will be used-nor are the key questions when or how technology is used-though those retain relevance. Instead the ascendant question is why technology, and by extension, why flexible delivery? This paper examines the flexible university teaching and learning enterprise. It scrutinises curriculum design, teaching delivery, and assessment and argues that flexible delivery of university teaching should be more aligned with the equity perspective.
