About AAOU 2024
Expanding Horizons: Innovation in Open and Distance Learning
The 37th Asian Association of Open Universities Annual Conference (AAOU 2024) will be held in Islamabad, Pakistan, from 15-17 October 2024.
The conference will focus on the future of open universities in the digitalized higher education era, driven by challenging learner needs, technological advancements, the impact of COVID-19, and the rise of online learning. With traditional universities also offering online education, the roles of open universities are being re-evaluated.
We are inviting academia, scholars, researchers, practitioners, students, and administrative staff to submit their research papers, innovations, and best practices.
