Hi Wayne It's a miraculous thought.We always enthusiastic to see your innovative ideas.It is the need of the hour contextualizing the propagation and promotion of open learning as one of the best learning mechanism to foster the developmental vision of 21st century teaching, learning and thinking.
The peer-reviewed academic journal will sure act as a bridge to gap between the researcher and academicians exist at different stratum.NIOS as a leading institute in Open and distance learning is publishing two journals including COMOSA-an internaltionally referred journal and Open Learning Magazine-a national referred journal.It would also be a great privilege for NIOS to support and collaborate in such initiative.
