In addition, the increasing importance attached to the ‘knowledge economy’ and to ‘lifelong learning’ is encouraging more mature-age, working students to return to formal education to enhance their professional knowledge and skills. These changes in access have necessitated a move to more adaptable curricular: modularity and flexibility in course structures and delivery. Thus, universities are having to actively implement systems and approaches in teaching and learning environments; for example, by means of electronic platforms and applications for course delivery, teaching and learning support.
