Blended Learning for Quality Higher Education
We are thrilled to work with UNESCO and the group of
collaborating universities for this groundbreaking book on
blended learning for higher education leaders, policymakers and
practitioners. This book is important to us for three reasons.
First, its purpose flows directly from UNESCO’s goal to
promote and support the use of ICT to advocate quality
access and life-long learning. This dovetails neatly with our
own agenda to bring meaningful and productive educational
experiences to all in East and Southeast Asia.
Second, this book pulls together exemplary practices from
leading regional institutions about how and why they enact a
holistic approach to drive and support blended learning within
their own institutions. As we strive to improve our own practice
and impact in this area, we can learn much from the experience
of others. Too often, knowledge, experience and key lessons
remain locked inside individual institutions. We believe the
form of sharing exemplified in this book is a great way to
showcase the values and power of ICT to make change happen
in higher education – we applaud this.
Third, the fact that this book provides pragmatic guidance for
institutions throughout the region and beyond to build their
own capacity to drive and support blended learning is where
its true value lies. The more we can help each other to find
better ways to spread the wealth of knowledge around ICT in
education, the sooner we can extend and enrich the educative
and social experiences of young and adult learners alike. We
believe the power of ICT will not only improve the learning
experience of our own learners, but that it will also affect the
communities our learners engage with. For this to happen,
we need to know where we can improve, where we can go for
assistance, and that our work is of the highest standards.
