| Peter Mills gets busy in the Bachelor of  Agricultural Business Management course symposium.  | 
The Blended and Flexible Learning Course Symposiums are designed  to support course teams in thinking about how they are currently using  blended and flexible learning strategies in their course, and how these  might be enhanced, to optimise the learning and teaching experience.
Grant recipients are awarded $2000  per course to develop a BFL course strategy which indicates how blended  and flexible learning will be embedded into the student experience  across the course. This strategy can be used by the team in its Course  Review as per the CSU Degree Initiative  (blended and flexible learning), and should be developed in  consideration of the principles and perspectives approach to good  practice in BFL, outlined in the BFL wiki.  The course team  will also identify examples of BFL strategies developed during and  following the symposium for sharing with the CSU community. 
The Flexible Learning Institute  assists with funding, planning, resource and strategic support both  before and during the symposium as well as professional support in using  the Aspirational Framework to articulate individual achievements in BFL  (for promotional purposes). 
FLI awarded an additional 9 grants in September 2011, and will offer a new round of submissions in 2012. For more details, and to see the grant requirements, please go to the BFL symposium webfolio.
