[http://www.assadpam.net/]1015-4833http://hdl.handle.net/2263/14117In keeping abreast with the international developments in tertiary training, a new educational model for Public Administration was developed for the University of Pretoria. This model is based on a vision of flexible education, which implies a commitment on the part of the learner to continual self-improvement. In pursuit of lifelong learning it is possible to extend the expertise to other Schools in Public Administration; developed an impressive range of telematically delivered certificate and post-graduate degree programs; and address continuous education training needs through telematic education. Education needs to change towards more targeted training, with the actual learning, rather than the teaching, taking center-stage, and with room for the delivery of tailor-made training. The delivery of tailor-made training means that an educational establishment can offer training more suited to every individual student which will meet his other own individual wishes and needs.enAssociation of Teachers in Public AdministrationOnline learninge-LearningLearning management systems (LMS)Outcomes-based education (OBE)Constructivist learningFlexible learningVirtual classroomTailor-made trainingCompetency-based educationOpen learningPublic administration -- Web-based instructionPublic administration -- Study and teaching (Continuing education)Postprint Article
