Japan)
 India is the one with the lowest penetration: 19% and the highest yearly growth rate.
CHALLENGES
 Asia being diverse and having limitations is constrained by rapid technological changes and
accelerated internet governance system.
 A big digital divide segregates people into to classes :- with access and information and
without access and information.
 Issue surrounds open standards, cost, awareness and collaboration and quality of
internet service.
 LDC’s in Asia suffer from lack of knowledge, technical support and barriers in adoption of
standardization in internet governance
 Nine in ten people now have access to electricity in Asia and the Pacific.
 Broadband internet subscriptions increased ,but 58% of the region’s population
remains unconnected to the internet

HIGHLIGHTS
A Quality assurance Framework designed for the providers of blended learning where learners are considered to be physically separated from:
 other learners/peers
 mentors and assessors
 the provider institution
 learning resources and support services
Blended Learning Programmes mostly combine the following :
 Online learning resources developed for online delivery
 A virtual learning environment
 Virtual Learning tools such as forums , joint discussion groups ,virtual classrooms,e-portfolio,learning management system, LCMS
 E-Performance Management System to support formative and summative assessment
 Face-to-face mentoring
 Online Feedback
EXPECTATIONS
 To have their internal quality control and assurance mechanism
 Monitor the effectiveness and efficacy of blended system
BROAD ASPECTS FOR QUALITY CONSIDERATION
 Design, development and updating of relevant learning resources
 Online environment for student support and guidance
 Availability and accessibility of learning infra and infostructures, experienced human and learning resources
 A learner centric environment with a proper learner progress tracking mechanism
CHALLENGES ENCOUNTERED FOR CROSS BORDER INITIATIVES
 National capacity for quality assurance and accreditation does not cover cross-border initiatives
 National systems and bodies for the recognition of qualifications may have limited knowledge
 The professions depend on trustworthy, high-quality qualifications
 Need for recognition of foreign qualifications

CONCLUSION AND REFERENCES
As per the observations and study the extent of Educational Cooperation between Asia and Europe till today stand at an approximation of nearing 30 - 35pc(optimistic
range)considering all countries across Europe and Asia though the future potential looks to be great for enhancing the economic growth in this belt .
 Intra-continental initiatives as in the European zone appears to be more promising and they are significantly ahead than the Asian belt and Asia is at a stage here there in
significant progress in the penetration of awareness even in LDC’s related to enhancing Educational Cooperation and Mobilization through pedagogical innovations and
technological advancements which is encouraging
 A Plan 2050 should see almost 80 pc of the countries towards a progressive economy backed by highly technical infrastructure and technological advancements
