Frequently Asked Questions
This page answers the frequently asked questions about our courses, programs and activities as regard our content. For more on how the platform works, see Help Center.
A: The two major types of content on Future Syllabus are described below:
1. Free Resource Learning (FRL) Program: FRL are structured educational programs and courses that leverage free resources to make learning more affordable. They contain public domain resources and content that we sourced, organized into a simplified curriculum and optimized for smoother learning using the LMS solutions on Future Syllabus. In a FRL program or course, students may still pay for:
- Curriculum design and development
- Instructional support and guidance
- Assessment and evaluation
- Certification and Recognition
- Overall student management and administration
- Other services that support their learning journey
2. Instructor-Led Learning (ILL) Program: In ILL, the instructor is the primary source of knowledge, guidance, and support, and the learning process is structured around their teaching. This approach emphasizes the value of human instruction, mentorship, and feedback in the learning process. ILL is often characterized by:
- Exclusive, proprietary content
- Instructor-student interaction and feedback
- Personalized guidance and support
- Structured learning pathways
- Strict enrolment-based access
In contrast to Free Resource Learning (FRL), which leverages freely available resources, ILL focuses on the instructor’s expertise and teaching as the core of the learning experience.
In summary, Free Resource Learning (FRL) uses free and openly available resources, reduces costs, making learning more accessible, and students may still pay for support and services while Instructor-Led Learning (ILL) features exclusive, instructor-created content which are only accessible through enrollment and emphasizes the value of instructor guidance and expertise.
