En les últimes dècades, s'han produït una sèrie de canvis estructurals fonamentals (tant internament, en el si de l'ensenyament superior, com externament) que han transformat el caràcter de les universitats. L'augment de l'interès generalitzat en els recursos educatius oberts (REO) és, alhora, una pressió afegida a aquests canvis i, potser, també una clau potencial per a donar resposta a la demanda creixent d'ensenyament superior. En aquesta secció monogràfica sobre les iniciatives en l'àmbit dels REO a Oceania, els docents mostren com s'estan abordant els reptes i les oportunitats en aquesta regió per mitjà de la innovació i/o la col·laboració. Aquesta secció monogràfica és, també, un marc per a la comunicació del coneixement i l'intercanvi de diferents punts de vista, a més del diàleg, no solament entre els països de la regió, sinó també, possiblement, entre Oceania i Europa. Les últimes novetats i tendències en els REO, i també l'emergència de les pràctiques educatives obertes (PEO) a la regió Àsia-Pacífic, són un reflex fidel dels avenços que es produeixen a tot el món.

Her current research and publications interest is in the implementation and integration of ICT in learning in general, and Web 2.0 and social networking technologies in particular. She is also interested in business use of technology and its implications for graduate attributes and professional development for academics teaching by distance. Other projects directed by Dr James include the ICDE’s Regulatory Frameworks for Distance Education in the Southwest Pacific/South East Asia region and a large collaborative project to develop eduONE, a community education portal offering Open Educational Resources for lifelong learning.
