In general, ODL institutions have not
played a leadership role in either the OER movement or in developing MOOCs…Open universities have yet to adopt and appropriate these emerging options.
How can ODL institutions benefit from OER? How can
they plan ahead to redesign learning spaces
to keep pace with developments in
technology? How can we personalize learning?
