Recasting Distance Learning with Network-Enabled Open Education: An Interview with Vijay Kumar

Vijay Kumar [VK]: Yes. I did draw upon the book, which is now available from MIT Press in print and in an open-access edition, and on my recent experience in the Indian context. The book, sponsored by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, is a selection of essays by prominent practitioners of open education who have been engaged in leading these initiatives since MIT launched OpenCourseware (OCW), the intent being to examine how these initiatives can collectively make a difference in transforming education.
