The information age has brought about many ways for educators to help their students learn, creating an atmosphere where the learners desire flexibility in the way they learn. Modern students expect on-demand, high-quality learning environments that allow them to have more say in what and how they learn. ""Flexible Learning in an Information Society"" uses a flexible learning framework to explain the best ways of creating a meaningful learning environment. This framework consists of eight factors - institutional, management, technological, pedagogical, ethical, interface design, resource support, and evaluation - and a systematic understanding of these factors can create successful flexible learning environments. Gathering the knowledge of leading researchers from around the world, ""Flexible Learning in an Information Society"" presents a broad understanding of the emerging field of flexible learning and provides guidance in creating these environments.
