During the CLI Lunch & Learn session, Peter Verkoeijen (ESSB) will discuss flexibility in higher education. First, he will engage with participants about what flexibility actually is and how flexibility in higher education has increased. Additionally, he will address a frequently heard assumption: flexibility enhances student motivation in higher education. Whether this is actually true, under what circumstances it would apply, and for which students, are the questions that will be addressed in this session.
Join us for this CLI Lunch&Learn on Thursday October 9, and gain insights into the challenges and opportunities that flexibility in higher education offers.
