The role of flexibility within online education https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41760 flexible and flexibility. Many students choose to study online specifically for the flexibility that is offered, hoping they can combine their studies with multiple other responsibilities in their lives.
