The rapid development of information technology in the digital era has led the development and reform in the field of education. Both the transformation and high-quality development of open universities have put forward higher requirements for open education governance. Focusing on the important field of open education governance, this study, from the perspective of university governance, deeply explores the practical dilemmas faced by open education governance, such as unclear development positioning, difficulties in transformation and development, inadequate learning support services, insufficient depth of teaching reform, and weak professional development of teachers. In the lifelong learning education ecology of universal education, open education governance should focus on “useful and easy learning”, focus on industry-education integration, take serving society as its purpose, and promote the transformation and development of open education. Under the concept of collaboration and co-governance, a multi-subject collaborative governance mechanism should be built, and governance thinking should be actively implemented in open education and teaching affairs to accelerate the modernization of open education governance. This aims to realize the sustainable development of open education governance and provide strong theoretical support and practical guidance for building a more fair, high-quality, and flexible open education governance system.
