Over 1.3 billion students (globally) lack internet access at home today. Southeast Asia, with a burgeoning digital economy and 400+ million internet users, demonstrates a dynamic market and many opportunities. And while over 70% of the region enjoys internet connectivity, countries like Lao PDR, Myanmar, and Timor-Leste still lack home access. Despite its economic growth, self-reported digital literacy among Southeast Asian youths remains low --- even as the region aims to boost its online economy.

The International Council for Open and Distance Education (ICDE) and The Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO) recognised the issues together with the widespread integration of Open, Flexible, and Distance Learning (OFDL) the two are determined to provide insights and impact of online learning on student motivation and offer insights into effectively supporting online learners in this webinar.
