FROM GLOBAL PURPOSE TO REGIONAL ACTION

ADVOCACY PRIORITIES

The Asia Task Force aims to increase the level of awareness and practice of open, flexible, and distance learning (OFDL) through the implementation of the campaign in different Asian countries.

Subsumed under the campaign the task force will be advocating for changes in collaboration and quality; valuing student voices; technology’s role; guidance for policy makers; and open educational resources (OER).
