Handbook of Open Universities

Work in progress, expect frequent changes. Help and feedback is welcome. See discussion page.

Background

Authentic information about Open Universities is scattered and not easily available. With the WikiEducator Platform, we are collaboratively creating an authentic resource for essential information about Open Universities around the world - that saves time and money!.

We are seeking the support of the community and experts serving various Open Universities to contribute to the development of the "Handbook of Open Universities". The project is conceived by Dr. Pankaj Khare (IGNOU), Dr. Sanjaya Mishra (IGNOU) and Dr. Ramesh C. Sharma (IGNOU).
