by Curtis Bonk | Sep 19, 2020 | Episodes In Episode #28, we will talk to experts from Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia about new models of education that are emerging during the pandemic. We will also discuss progress and initiatives made regarding MOOCs and open education courses and programs. New developments in each of these four countries in southeast Asia is detailed below (below the video). Malaysia. Professor Zoraini Wati Abas, Deputy Vice Chancellor at the Wawasan Open University in Penang, Malaysia will offer insights into how the Covid-19 pandemic has created a disruption of sorts that has now prompted conventional...

There is also a strong interest among many universities to offer courses with microcredential awards so as to attract enrolments among members of the public (as part of Life Long Learning) and, in particular,... Life-Long learning (LLL) will probably be the next focus as the Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education has commissioned the National Higher Education Research Institute (NaHERI) at the University of Science Malaysia to examine the... Recommendations are being made by NaHERI to the government on how to further drive LLL in Malaysia. MOOCs will continue to thrive and offer opportunities for credit transfers for successful completion of courses from one institution to another. Indonesia. According to Tian Belawati from the Universitas Terbuka (Indonesia Open University), despite the many concerns regarding their underlying business model, MOOCs continue to grow and are being adopted worldwide.

In effect, they have become accepted as the new practice of opening access to quality education. Every day there are new MOOCs and MOOC-like or MOOC-inspired online courses being developed and offered by many educational institutions and organizations in all parts of the world, including in Indonesia. Many initiatives, mostly initiated by individual institutions, have also endorsed and then jumped on to the MOOC bandwagon. The first MOOC in Indonesia was offered by a private university known as the Ciputra University in 2013, followed by Universitas Terbuka in 2014. Even though several universities and organizations such as SEAMEO-SEAMOLEC (i.e., the South East Asian Ministry of Education Organization Regional Center for Open Learning), IndonesiaX, and SPADA have followed the initiative, the road for Indonesia... According to Belawati, Indonesia needs a systematic campaign and an awareness raising effort to make MOOCs beneficial to the greater part of Indonesian society.

As someone who initially started working at the UT in 1985 just after its inception and has twice been its rector, Dr. Belawati has a highly unique lens in which to view the emergence of MOOCs and open education in her country. The Philippines. According to Melinda dela Pena Bandalaria, Chancellor and Professor of Development Communication, University of the Philippines Open University, developing countries are often perceived as resource-poor and on the receiving end or recipients of initiatives... The same perspective is usually applied to education and is usually concretized in the outbound internationalization especially among higher education institutions (HEIs). When massive open online courses (MOOCs) and open educational resources (OERs) were initially introduced, there seemed to be no reason why developing countries would have to “reinvent the wheel” and think of developing their...

The Philippines provides a case study wherein MOOCs and OERs were developed, produced, and offered by a developing country under the framework Open Educational Resources for Development (OERs4D). The framework provided the imperatives and considerations for the development of original OERs and MOOCs within the Philippines. It also fostered the redefinition of MOOCs as practiced and contextualized in the country, the MOOCs as OERs model, and the integration of Universal Design for Learning principles to both MOOCs and OERs. This model addresses the challenge of sustaining the initiative and ensuring that both MOOCs and OERs will be fully utilized. Initial implementation of the OERs4D Framework shows promising results while unraveling key areas in need of improvement and refinements.
