National Inclusive Open Educational Resources Policy

Abstract

The Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE) has structured several strategies in transforming the higher education system in Malaysia to provide essential experiences to students. As part of these strategies, a future-ready curriculum has been designed to cover three important elements, namely: Organic curriculum structure, transformative delivery and holistic assessment. In light of the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2015-2025 (Higher Education), MoHE also encourages globalised online learning, which addresses Shift 9 of the blueprint. While achieving this, Malaysia’s education sector will simultaneously support UNESCO’s 4th Sustainable Development Goal which champions for quality education. As we step into the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), there is a notable change and improvement in teaching and learning (T&L) methods. In the last decade, the development and implementation of online T&L has become a requirement for academic institutions. MoHE and higher education institutions in Malaysia have allocated resources for the development and implementation of online learning platforms.
