description Increasing the options available to the learner as to when, how, where, with what materials, and what he or she learns is becoming increasingly important, not only for personal and educational reasons but also for economic motivations. Increasing the flexibility of training for persons already in the work force is seen as particularly appropriate, and telematics applications are expected to have particular value in facilitating more‐flexible course delivery in training and workplace contexts. In this analysis we consider the concept “flexibility of training” in more detail, decomposing it into a series of, sometimes incompatible, dimensions and presenting some propositions as to likelihood of the different flexibility dimensions becoming implemented in practice. The study of flexibility relative to trans‐national tele‐learning is illustrated through its central role in the research component of the TeleScopia Project, sponsored by the Commission of the European Community.
