It is difcult to nd relevant materials When you look in textbooks it’s difficult to find African cases. [S]ometimes it can be confusing when you see something that you see on white skin so nicely and very easy to pick up, but on the dark skin it has a different manifestation that may be difficult to see. Professor at Partner Institution in Ghana

“African universities struggle to have access to information. If we have information, why do we not also share it as part

of a pool of universities to exchange information for the purpose of improved learning.” Dean at Partner Institution in Ghana

“We have limited resources but because of the Internet, we can share. The South has diseases [the Global North] knows nothing about. Our materials are relevant to us and in the North.” Professor at Partner Institution in South Africa

Why  use  or  create  OER?    •  Time  (build  on  others’  effort)  •  Money  (free  to  access)  •  Quality  of  content  (more  eyes  

to  review)  •  RecogniCon  &  collaboraCon  

(worldwide  visibility  of  authors)

Dispelling myths and preconceptions

Myth that open content is separate from regular materials development Myth that open licenses cannot coexist with peer review Myth that open licenses cannot coexist with print or commercialized complements Authors misunderstanding copyright or open licenses (e.g. adding other barriers to use)

Outcomes: Summary from External Eval.

“The African Health Open Educational Resources (OER) Network has shown that: •  quality and cost-effectiveness are neither mutually

exclusive nor unattainable… •  The current impact study finds examples of direct and

significant indirect savings through OER… •  Enhanced quality is evidenced in the accounts of academics

and students as well as in new quality assurance peer-review mechanisms.

•  OER developed through collaborative networks can lead to more productive teaching and learning...”
