So what are the benefits of self-paced learning?

1. Flexibility
Flexibility: Self-paced courses offer flexibility in terms of when and where learners can access the course materials. Learners can study at their own pace, fitting their learning around their personal and professional commitments. This flexibility is especially valuable for individuals who have work or family responsibilities, allowing them to balance their various obligations more effectively.
2. Self-paced learning
Self-paced learning: In online courses, learners have the freedom to progress through the course material at their preferred speed. They can spend more time on challenging concepts or quickly move through familiar topics. This personalised approach to learning enables individuals to focus on their specific needs and learning preferences, maximising their understanding and retention of the content.
3. Accessibility
Accessibility: Self-paced courses make education and professional development more accessible to a wider range of learners. Learners from different time zones, with varying work schedules, or with physical limitations can participate in courses without being bound by specific lesson times or physical attendance requirements. This inclusivity promotes equal opportunities for education and allows individuals to learn from anywhere in the world.
4. Increased engagement
Increased engagement: Some learners may feel more comfortable and engaged in an asynchronous learning environment. They have the opportunity to reflect on the material, produce work, and ask questions without time pressure. This can lead to deeper understanding, critical thinking, and active participation, as learners have more time to process information and formulate thoughtful responses.
5. Improved self-discipline and time management
Improved self-discipline and time management: Self-paced courses require learners to take responsibility for managing their time effectively. This can help individuals develop valuable skills in self-discipline, organisation, and time management, which are essential for success in various aspects of life.
 
Self-paced learning at the ODI

Allows learners to interact with data content via advanced interactive learning components. Our courses are not designed for learners to simply read. They are for activist/practitioner style learners who prefer “doing” to “reading”.

Our courses integrate a tutor’s AI assistant that gives learners real-time tailored feedback based upon their answers and solutions to activities. Learners are presented with an immersive learning environment where personalised insights and guidance for improvement are provided throughout the learning.

“Amazing course with hands-on activities that allows me to learn about how to organise and collect data. It's very interesting to see how the data could be transformed into powerful stories that make an impact.”
