Abstract
Delivery of tertiary education is rapidly changing across the developed countries due to wider adoption of e-technology. However, most of the developing nations are not keeping up to date with the new education delivery systems such as blended learning and flipped classroom approaches. This chapter presents an overview of the technical education delivery systems in Bangladesh and presents the opportunities and challenges by two case studies: Bangladesh Open University and Daffodil International University. It has been found that Bangladesh is making some progress in delivering online technical education; however, it needs significant capacity building to develop an effective and viable online technical education system.
