“…Flexibility in education, which stresses student choice, has been recognized as critical to raising educational standards and satisfying the needs of a diverse student body. It is frequently used interchangeably with the term "remote learning" [5]. Modular education is the most common form of distance education.…”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The COVID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented difficulties and obstacles for educational sectors, with no one knowing when it will end. The number of illnesses continued to rise while countries worldwide established plans and processes to limit the virus. To maintain and deliver a high-quality education notwithstanding community quarantine, the new normal should be incorporated into the formulation and implementation of the "new normal educational policy." Thus, this qualitative study sought to develop a deeper understanding of teachers' experiences in module writing. Specifically, it explored the challenges they experienced and identified the coping mechanisms they employed. A total of 15 participants were purposely selected who took part in an individual in-depth and semi-structured interview. The themes emerged as the challenges of the faculty members, namely: Insufficient training on module writing, lack of books & other resources, subjects are not in line with the field of specialization, overloaded number of subject preparations, and inadequate office supplies/equipment for reproduction of modules. Further, the themes on the coping mechanisms include collaboration with colleagues, self-motivation, proper time management, and initiative and resourcefulness. Hence, the faculty member's best practices and coping mechanisms to improve their teaching through module writing were indicators that they want to grow and embrace professional development. On the other hand, to address the identified problems, a proposed enhancement program will be initiated. The platform focused on Strengthening the “Campus’ Instructional Materials Development Program” and enhancing campus activities on developing instructional materials.</span></p>

The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of how open universities depict their current institutional engagement in open educational practices. In view of the growth of programming for non-traditional students by conventional universities, particularly through online learning and increasing interest in open educational practices, the intention is to gain a better understanding of the unique contributions currently made, or potentially to be made, by open universities in comparison to conventional universities. The study is conducted through a content analysis of open university websites, exploring key themes related to access-oriented open educational practices derived from terms and related concepts in relevant literature. With the growth of distance education, online learning, and other emerging access-oriented open educational practices in traditional higher education, open universities should be uniquely situated to provide visible leadership in these domains. The open university website content analysis explores the extent to which this is the case.
