Abstract
Mobility, immediacy and collaboration is the macro trend of future technology usage. Flexible learning provides learners with choices about where, when, and how learning occurs. The paper will introduce flexible learning and discuss how these new technologies can be integrated into face-to-face instruction. Literature reviews, guidelines for designing blended instruction are presented as are samples of blended formats and activities.
