What do we mean by flexible models of delivery?
Flexible delivery might include any of the following options:
- weekend courses;
- intensive courses e.g. a week-long programme;
- taking the learning to the learners at a venue which suits them e.g. a community setting or workplace;
- bite size sessions e.g. an hour before or after work or another course;
- irregular patterns of attendance e.g. once a fortnight or month or whenever possible;
- a blended learning approach which mixes face-to-face study with independent learning;
- a self-study course with remote tutor support; and
- an embedded approach where LLN skills are developed though another course.
The Embedding LNN Starter Kit has information and resources to support an embedded approach.
A blended learning element may be part of a flexible delivery model. This may include the use of ICT, but it is not an essential element.
