Scope: Contemporary Research Topics (Flexible Learning) is peer-reviewed and published annually in November by Otago Polytechnic/Te Kura Matatini ki Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand.

Scope (Flexible Learning) aims to engage discussion on contemporary research in flexible learning for emerging scholars. It is concerned with views and critical debates surrounding flexible learning theories and practices and seeks to address current and topical matters in education. Its focus is on building a sense of community amongst researchers from an array of New Zealand institutions with a goal of linking in, and stepping up to a wider international community.
