Governance strategies for inclusive higher education access through open and networked opportunities

Abstract

This research seeks to investigate the manner in which educational institutions can prioritise diversity, equity, and inclusion while leveraging the strengths of online learning and Open Educational Resources to enhance acceptability and adaptability. It explores how governance can positively impact societal progress at national level through open and networked higher education. Motivated by the critical theory where the aim of the research challenges existing structures, this research adopts a critical realist epistemological approach.
