The future learner’s experience of Flexible Schedules and Timetables
It’s mid-winter, 2030. Santiago is driving home to Carleton Place from Algonquin College’s Perth Campus, where he recently started re-training for a career change. The last 18 months have been a blur. So much has changed, and so quickly.
He lost his partner suddenly and unexpectedly — a shock to his whole family. He knew right away he couldn’t support the kids as a single parent doing only freelance and contract work. While his relatives are emotionally “there” for him, they all live out of town. He thought of moving closer to them but didn’t want to put the kids through another upheaval. He knew he needed to go back to school.
