Seminars and Workshops

The AOU organizes a number of annual workshops as a part of its research and faculty development activities. These workshops and seminars fall into two categories: generic and specific. The generic workshops are meant to give general awareness among staff and community on various aspects of open learning and new trends in higher education. The specific workshops cover courses contents, accreditation, validation, and quality assurance topics.
