Supporting skill development through flexible task based design

Abstract

Tertiary institutions are motivated to offer greater flexibility in the delivery of their courses in order to increase student enrolments, retention and outcomes. The use of information and communication technologies (ICT) provide a means of delivering course content to learners who cannot be present on campus at specific class times. This poster will graphically demonstrate how the design of blended task-based learning environments offers flexibility of time, place, student learning style, and teaching and learning approach, all of which is more suitable to the needs of today’s learners.
