Call for papers
Open and flexible education has been rapidly developing and increasingly practised, in both distance-learning and conventional universities and colleges. Education is becoming more and more flexible in various aspects, such as delivery modes, curricula, and learner commitment. The International Conference on Open and Flexible Education serves as an international platform for academic exchanges and sharing of quality research.
The theme of ICOFE 2015 is ‘Making Learning Mobile and Ubiquitous’. We welcome studies from, or relevant to, both open universities and conventional institutions.

innovations in open/flexible curriculum development and pedagogy; |
