3.3 Self-Paced Learning with Optional Assessments

Self-paced learning is a democratic learning method where learners are able to decide when and how fast they learn. Unlike traditional classrooms, the pace of a lesson is dictated by the learner’s schedule and ability. This offers several benefits such as:

  • Allowing struggling learners to spend more time on a topic until they master it.

  • Catering to learners with atypical schedules.

  • Training learners to be responsible and self-motivated.

  • Helping learners take ownership of their learning.

  • Guiding learners to progress at their own pace through guides, sample answers, automarking and optional grading.
