Instructors at Sir Arthur Lewis Community College (SALCC) in Saint Lucia recently gained a deeper understanding of flexible and blended (FaB) learning, through a COL-organised workshop.

Seventeen instructors from the Division of Technical Education and Management Studies participated in a five-day workshop in June 2016, which looked at strategies for designing and integrating FaB in the classroom. Training topics included the development of self-paced open online courses, open educational resources and copyright, and gender mainstreaming.

It is anticipated that new online courses will be piloted in early 2017.
