Assessing the impact of “more-flexible” learning as part of a study program

Abstract

With the increasing use of Flexible Learning approaches in Higher Education at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW), measuring their effectiveness, from both an educational and a participant's point of view, is of particular importance. In response to the limited scientific contributions on this topic, this article presents a possibility of how an assessment can take place: this study analyzes 62 undergraduate student responses to a Blended Learning task and compares the participant findings with a pre-existing educational competency framework.
