Self paced learning is a style of instruction in which learners progress through the material at their own speed and on their own schedule. In contrast to traditional classroom-based learning or cohort-based learning, self paced learning is directed by the learner, not the instructor.
With self paced learning, learners are able to spend longer or shorter periods of time engaging with particular lessons or course material. This enables a more personalised approach to learning in which the learner can determine their own unique needs and interests.
