Flexible Learning Centres
Kingston University’s Flexible Learning Centres (FLCs) have been created to help support staff in understanding the possibilities of educational technology and blended learning.
The FLCs are the primary venues for workshops and courses. When not used for development events, the centres provide well-equipped spaces in which all colleagues, especially part-time staff, can work on developing learning resources and activities.
FLCs are located at:
- Kingston Hill
- Knights Park
- Penrhyn Road
- Roehampton Vale
