Pace - Students can choose how quickly to progress through the content.
By allowing students to pace themselves, students who need more time don't get frustrated when the class moves on to the next topic, and students who have mastered the content don't get frustrated when you decide that the class needs a re-teaching activity. Instead, students are empowered to determine their own level of mastery and how much time they want to dedicate to a particular concept.
Path - Students can choose how to engage with the content.
Students can choose to watch videos, listen to songs, or receive direct instruction from their teacher according to their learning modalities. This allows students to assess their own needs and therefore gives them more of a sense of agency by respecting their own self-knowledge.
Place - Students can choose where to work on tasks
Students are empowered to choose where they engage with their learning. If a student finds a classroom environment too full of distractions, he or she may choose to work only on lower-level tasks there and work on higher-level tasks in a more appropriate place. In another situation, a student may not have internet access at home, and might therefore choose to complete certain technology-based tasks while at school.
Time - Students can choose when to work on tasks.
Students also can have an element of control over when they do their work, depending on when they can do their best work. Students need to choose when to do all their tasks in order to meet deadlines, which puts the responsibility of completing all of their tasks in their hands.
