Prof. Ojat Darojat, M.Bus., Ph.D.
The idea of writing this book was first initiated by Prof. M. Atwi Suparman in 2018, the former
of UT Rector and AAOU President. Up to the present, a comprehensive book discussing and
highlighting distance higher education in Asia has not been published yet. In contrast, books
on distance education or distance learning in other parts of the world have been published.
Publishing a book on distance education in Asia then became a necessity. This idea was then
presented in the OU5 Researchers forum in Da Nang, Vietnam and received a good response
