Open University Malaysia’s Centre for Digital Education Futures (CENDEF) is a leading Southeast Asian hub for strategic insight and transformative engagement in open, distance, and digital education. CENDEF brings together scholars, practitioners, and partners to interrogate the futures of education, anticipate emerging challenges, intervene through bold, human-centred approaches, and contribute to more inclusive digital futures.

CENDEF’s key function is to consolidate OUM’s position as the leading purveyor of digital education in Malaysia and the Southeast Asian region, while also strategically charting a long-term trajectory that enables the University to anticipate, engage with, and help shape the unfolding futures of digital education.
