Open education becomes the important approach for education in the digital age and it plays a significant role in broadening educational access and increasing higher educational opportunities. The author of the chapter considers the basic principles and emerging trends in quality assurance of distance higher education in the digital age. Considering the intelligent distance education system as a dynamic, time-developing system, one can speak of the underlying computer imitation model that has an independent theoretical and practical value. The objective of this chapter is to explore how can information technologies influence the distance education quality assurance, specifically, to develop a conceptual framework for the intelligent distance education system. In addition to direct application for educational quality management system's evaluation, the simulation model can be used to solve a much wider range of tasks: forecasting, risk assessment, rating of courses, individual teachers, and individual institutions.

Universitas Terbuka (UT) as an open and distance e-learning institution in Indonesia, has widely intensify the interconnectivity on international stages. UT adopts international academic standard and pave its vision “to provide access to a world quality higher education for all through open and distance higher education”. Although, most of UT students do not yet have access to adequate internet connection, UT has been a reference for other open education institutions and was acknowledged by the global community to have been succeeded in managing distance education system. By outlining the concept of education diplomacy creates an explanation that the growth of globalized educational collaboration increases the importance of conveying people-to-people engagement through e-learning education system. In previous years, UT has aimed the mission toward an ASEAN distance education collaboration and offer an Open Online Certificate Program through MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses). The aim is to share knowledge among Indonesian and its counterparts in ASEAN.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana penerapan tutorial online berbasis e-learning dalam sistem pendidikan jarak jauh pada mata kuliah Pendidikan Matematika 1 di Universitas Terbuka. Penerapan yang dimaksud di sini adalah bagaimana perencanaan, pelaksanaan, evaluasi, serta apa saja kendala yang dihadapi selama kegiatan tersebut. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Hasilnya penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa (1) Perencanaan Tutorial di sediakan langsung dari UT pusat, tutor tinggal melaksanakan; (2) Pelaksanaan tutorial dimulai dengan membuat video sapaan pada setiap inisiasi, kemudian memantau dan menanggapi dari  pertanyaan atau tanggapan mahasiswa terhadap diskusi atau permasalahan yang disajikan, selanjutnya memeriksa dan memeberikan feedback terhadap tugas-tugas mahasiswa pada pertemuan ke 3, 5 dan 7; (3) Evaluasi dilihat dari kehadiran sebesar 20%, keaktifan mahasiswa dalam diskusi 30% dan tugas tutorial sebesar 50%. Nilai tutorial online akan berkontribusi jika nilai Ujian Akhir Semester lebih dari 30%; (4) Kendala yang dialami yaitu keterbatasan akses, tutor maupun mahasiswa masih kurang aktif, penulisan simbol-simbol Matematika. Abstract: Distance Education System Based E-learning in Mathematics Education I) This study aims to find out how to apply e-learning-based online tutorials in the distance education system in Mathematics Education 1 course at Universitas Terbuka. The application referred in this study is the planning, implementation, evaluation, and the constraints encountered during the activity. The research method used in this study is the qualitative method with a case study approach.The results of this study indicate that (1)The planning is provided directly from the UT centre, the tutor only have to carry out the plan; (2)The tutoring begins by making a greeting video at each initiation, then monitoring and responding students' questions or responses on the discussions or issues presented, providing enrichment, then examining student assignments at the 3rd, 5th and 7th meeting; (3)Evaluation is seen from the attendance by 20%, the activeness of students in discussions by 30% and tutorial assignments by 50%. The value of online tutorials will contribute if the value of the Final Semester Examination is more than 30%; (4)The constraints experienced are as follows: The access is limited, the tutors and students are still less active, Mathematical symbols writing, the RAT SAT is not in accordance with the assignments or material in online tutorial activities.

Mexico’s national university (UNAM) is a public mega university with a 46-year history in open education. This article presents an analysis based on the open, online, flexible provision of technology-enhanced higher education (OOFAT) model, developed by Orr and his colleagues (2018). The aim of this analysis was to characterize UNAM’s open and distance education system in terms of openness, flexibility, and its business model, in three distinct time periods. According to this analysis, the system has evolved in all areas, and at present has a content-focused approach in terms of flexibility and openness, which differs from the OOFAT at the center approach that is desired. The study also characterized the UNAM system’s business model as a prospector-like approach, which highlights the possibilities for instilling innovation through the schools that comprise this system. The analysis allowed for mapping the current situation and thus sheds light on defining the steps necessary for creating an integrally open system.

This article contributes to ongoing debates about soft skills among students. In 2017, the unemployment rate in Malaysia was at 3.42 percent as compared to 2.85 percent in 2014. Education system must aim towards employability and ensure quality in education to reduce the percentage of unemployment. Thus, this study aims to investigate the development of soft skills among students through co-curriculum activities in UiTM Cawangan Kelantan. The sample were 113 students from UiTM Cawangan Kelantan. Questionnaires adapted from previous research to measure the communication skill, problem solving skill, team building skill, leadership skill and soft development of soft skills among students through co-curriculum activities. SEM-PLS 3.0 were employed in this study. The findings revealed only team building skill has significant influence on developments of soft skills among students through co-curriculum activities. However, the study indicates that communication skill, problem solving skill and leadership skill are not significant towards development of soft skills among students through cocurriculum activities.
