The chapter presents significant considerations for pacing amid directing own learning in an open distance e-learning environment (ODeL), assuming principles to achieve learning outcomes through processes that support learning style/s in leading own learning. Looking at a variety of factors, the prototypes for self-directedness and elements for self-pacing are presented. A case of an ODeL institution was explored and interviews conducted (n=57) to examine self-directed learning contextual factors in relation to the speed at which learners assume leadership in achieving learning outcomes within an (ODeL) context and gaining independence towards enhancing learning experience. The outcomes reveal that learners gain independence through adopting suitable speed, adopting core values, collaborating, support provided, and will to improve their skills. Finally, a self-directed paced learning framework for adult learners is offered.
