self-paced courses

Learn at leisure

Self-paced courses are educational programs where students control their own schedule, progressing through material at whatever speed suits them rather than following a fixed class timetable.

Common in online learning, they allow flexibility for working adults or anyone juggling competing demands: I finished the self-paced course in three weeks; my friend took six months.
