Flinders Learning Online (FLO)

Student support & services Student computing Flinders Learning Online (FLO)

FLO – short for Flinders Learning Online – is the online learning platform used by Flinders University. 

FLO is the major teaching and communication tool for topics.  It is where you will find your topic information, submit your assignments, watch lecture recordings, participate in online discussions, plus much more. 

Access

FLO can be accessed from any computer that is connected to the internet and has a web browser. 

You can access FLO via your Okta Single Sign On dashboard or direct https://flo.flinders.edu.au.

FLO is getting a facelift

FLO will be upgraded on 16 December as part of the regular upgrade cycle. The software underpinning FLO will not change, but the look and feel and navigation will undergo a facelift.

FLO will still function in the same way as it currently does, and some new features will be added. Whilst you will still be able to do everything you could before, you might find some functions in a slightly different location.

The key benefits for all staff and students after the upgrade are:

  • A more contemporary look and feel
  • Better ability for users to control the way topics are viewed on the dashboard
  • Improved navigation
  • More mobile friendly
  • A timeline feed for students showing upcoming due dates
  • Easier access to recently visited topics and activities

This video highlights some of the key look and feel and navigation changes:

FLO upgrade roadshows - staff

Roadshows will be held in college locations to demonstrate the changes. Staff can book into roadshows using iEnrol and will be recorded for those unable to attend. Staff teaching over summer are encouraged to attend the roadshows in November or December. Roadshows will also be offered in January and February for staff teaching in semester 1 and 2.

Roadshow session recording 3 Dec 2020
