ABSTRACT
This book provides an up to date review of the higher education production and use of oer across Asia. It forms a valuable resource if you have a specific interest in the development of Open Education around the world but it also provides very useful background for broader issues around the development and use of oer. If the content of this book is likely to be relevant to you, I recommend that you arrange to borrow a copy for a while or, better, download your own copy.| Keywords | book review · books |
