Flexible learning is a learning with a no. of choices in terms of time,content,instructional approach , entry requirements and delivery of studying material.these are the main five dimensions of flexible learning:
It is really very necessary to use flexible learning in our life whether we are student or lecturer because today is the time when everyone is quite busy with their schedule and we cannot make anybody fix for a particular time .So it is the necessity of the time to use the flexible approach in our life to get the best of the time.I want to use this flexible approach in my further studies and teaching practice.
The first session of flexible learning:
In this session we were eight persons .our facilitator had given demonstration of online material of the course blog and how to set up a blog.Then she gave us the time for the group discussion about what is flexible learning?it was really the brain storming.All the learners were giving their own experiences.Then we were given the papers to write about our thoughts.I have also written about the flexible learning but like a para and not as the key points or the mind map.When I saw all others writings they were more clear than mine because those were more like the key points.Then I decided to write next time as the mind maps or the key points.
Because the mind maps are more clear to be evaluated and also the focus seems to be clear in it. Also using mind maps is like a professional style of writing to make the things clear but in a very precise way.
"A mind map is a form of an outline with ideas and pictures radiating out from a central concept (Buzan and Buzan 1993; wycoff 1991)
From this session I learnt about how to make mind maps and what are the main five dimensions of flexible learning. I will definitely use these techniques in my further learning and teaching practice.

Namarta I am so glad you enjoyed the session and found mind maps useful. Sometimes the simplest techniques can be so effective. I used to use mind maps all the time when I taught anatomy and physiology to nursing and midwifery students. By making the information visual, the students were able to grasp and understand difficult concepts more easily.
