edit   About The Flexible Learning Guidebook has been developed by staff in the Educational Development Centre of Otago Polytechnic. It is used in the Flexible Learning course which is part of the Graduate Certificate in Tertiary learning and Teaching. Flexible Learning is a 15 week, level 7 course accredited by NZQA. You are welcome to enroll formally for accreditation, or participate informally and enroll later on only if you wish to be assessed. (: The next course starts on 28 January 2013. Expect some changes to be made to the materials and assessments between now and then.)
