Introduction

As one of the BUKA project partners, Open University Malaysia (OUM) has taken on
a crucial role in developing the capacity of its full-time academic sta to enhance

teaching and learning through inclusive instructional design (ID) and learning
analytics (LA). At the heart of the project is the use of inclusive ID and LA in online

and blended learning, specifically within the context of Open and Distance

Learning (ODL).
The BUKA team at OUM is made up of six researchers and two

administrators who work collaboratively with other departments, such as Digital

Services and the Centre for Instructional Design Technology. The primary objective
of the pilot program is to enable academics at OUM, including full-time and

part-time sta , to create Open Educational Resources (OER) for their courses.
