OER Africa
Into the Future


                  Advisory Group Meeting
                   Fairview Hotel, Nairobi
                      21 & 22nd May, 2009
Problem / Theory of Action
 African higher education institutions seriously
  structurally under-funded for the core function
  they are expected to discharge.
 Therefore, corresponding paucity of
  institutional and individual capacity to teach in
  many domains of higher education.
 Existing faculty overtaxed in time and ability to
  teach, reducing time available for ongoing
  program and materials development.


21/05/2009       Advisory Group Meeting, Nairobi   2
Problem / Theory of Action (2)
 Many higher education programs on the
  continent have inadequate funds to run
  programmes and meet the educational needs of
  enrolled students as well as cover the costs of
  faculty time required both to design and run
  quality learning experiences.
 Too few learning resources for learners and
  lecturers in African universities, and many of
  those available are too expensive to be
  purchased by universities or students.

21/05/2009      Advisory Group Meeting, Nairobi   3
Problem / Theory of Action (3)
 Much existing content available to and within
  African universities based on weak and largely
  outmoded educational design principles.
 Limited ICT infrastructure to gain access to up-
  to-date information available on the Internet and
   participate in inter-institutional, geographically
  dispersed collaborative activities.




21/05/2009       Advisory Group Meeting, Nairobi   4
Key Assumptions
OER holds potential:
2. To increase availability of high quality, relevant and
   need-targeted learning materials;
3. To reduce the cost of accessing educational
   materials;
4. To allow adaptation of materials and possibly
   contribute to enabling learners to be active
   participants in educational processes;
5. To achieve collaborative partnership of people
   working in communities of practice, preferably
   across/within institutions;


21/05/2009        Advisory Group Meeting, Nairobi   5
Key Assumptions (cont’d)
1. To build capacity in African higher education
   institutions by providing educators with access, at
   low or no cost, to the tools and content required to
   produce high quality educational materials.
•    To be successful and sustainable, development of
     OER cannot be a sideline activity within a
     university.
•    OER Africa seeks to facilitate the design of OER
     that can work immediately and add educational
     value within the current ICT infrastructure
     constraints of any participating institutions.


21/05/2009         Advisory Group Meeting, Nairobi   6
Why do we exist?
 OER Africa believes that OER can positively
  support development and capacity of
  higher education systems and institutions
  across Africa.
 OER Africa is concerned that – if the
  concept and practice of OER evolves
  predominantly outside and for Africa – we
  will not be able to liberate its potential.


21/05/2009     Advisory Group Meeting, Nairobi   7
Why Open Educational
Resources?
Concept:
Concept
 Educational resources for use by educators
  and learners, without an accompanying
  need to pay royalties or licence fees.
 New licensing frameworks remove copying /
  adaptation restrictions.
 OER hold potential for reducing the cost of
  accessing educational materials.

21/05/2009     Advisory Group Meeting, Nairobi   8
Dispelling Some Myths
 Content = education
 Good content will overcome institutional
  capacity constraints
 OER should be a process of voluntarism
 OER will make education cheaper in the short-
  term
 Openness automatically equates with quality
 OER is about e-learning

21/05/2009     Advisory Group Meeting, Nairobi   9
ACTIVITY PLAN

21/05/2009   Advisory Group Meeting, Nairobi   10
Proposed Contribution (1)
 To work systematically with partners to enhance
  institutional capacity in higher education to design,
  develop, and deliver quality higher education
  programs and materials;
 To advocate the merits of collaboratively creating and
  sharing intellectual capital in higher education as a
  mechanism to improve quality and enhance long-term
  cost-effectiveness;
 To help higher education institutions to establish
  supportive policy frameworks that support openness
  in the development, adaptation, and use of
  educational resources, and convert this into
  sustainable business models;
21/05/2009        Advisory Group Meeting, Nairobi   11
Proposed Contribution (2)

 To establish an online platform that facilitates African
  collaboration in OER development and sharing, while
  inter-connecting this platform with the many OER
  communities emerging globally;
 To facilitate the re-development and reinvention of
  African higher education program curricula and
  course materials of exceptional quality and direct
  contextual relevance, producing world class
  graduates.

Advisory Group Meeting Fairview Hotel, Nairobi 21 & 22nd May, 2009

  • 1. OER Africa Into the Future Advisory Group Meeting Fairview Hotel, Nairobi 21 & 22nd May, 2009
  • 2. Problem / Theory of Action  African higher education institutions seriously structurally under-funded for the core function they are expected to discharge.  Therefore, corresponding paucity of institutional and individual capacity to teach in many domains of higher education.  Existing faculty overtaxed in time and ability to teach, reducing time available for ongoing program and materials development. 21/05/2009 Advisory Group Meeting, Nairobi 2
  • 3. Problem / Theory of Action (2)  Many higher education programs on the continent have inadequate funds to run programmes and meet the educational needs of enrolled students as well as cover the costs of faculty time required both to design and run quality learning experiences.  Too few learning resources for learners and lecturers in African universities, and many of those available are too expensive to be purchased by universities or students. 21/05/2009 Advisory Group Meeting, Nairobi 3
  • 4. Problem / Theory of Action (3)  Much existing content available to and within African universities based on weak and largely outmoded educational design principles.  Limited ICT infrastructure to gain access to up- to-date information available on the Internet and participate in inter-institutional, geographically dispersed collaborative activities. 21/05/2009 Advisory Group Meeting, Nairobi 4
  • 5. Key Assumptions OER holds potential: 2. To increase availability of high quality, relevant and need-targeted learning materials; 3. To reduce the cost of accessing educational materials; 4. To allow adaptation of materials and possibly contribute to enabling learners to be active participants in educational processes; 5. To achieve collaborative partnership of people working in communities of practice, preferably across/within institutions; 21/05/2009 Advisory Group Meeting, Nairobi 5
  • 6. Key Assumptions (cont’d) 1. To build capacity in African higher education institutions by providing educators with access, at low or no cost, to the tools and content required to produce high quality educational materials. • To be successful and sustainable, development of OER cannot be a sideline activity within a university. • OER Africa seeks to facilitate the design of OER that can work immediately and add educational value within the current ICT infrastructure constraints of any participating institutions. 21/05/2009 Advisory Group Meeting, Nairobi 6
  • 7. Why do we exist?  OER Africa believes that OER can positively support development and capacity of higher education systems and institutions across Africa.  OER Africa is concerned that – if the concept and practice of OER evolves predominantly outside and for Africa – we will not be able to liberate its potential. 21/05/2009 Advisory Group Meeting, Nairobi 7
  • 8. Why Open Educational Resources? Concept: Concept  Educational resources for use by educators and learners, without an accompanying need to pay royalties or licence fees.  New licensing frameworks remove copying / adaptation restrictions.  OER hold potential for reducing the cost of accessing educational materials. 21/05/2009 Advisory Group Meeting, Nairobi 8
  • 9. Dispelling Some Myths  Content = education  Good content will overcome institutional capacity constraints  OER should be a process of voluntarism  OER will make education cheaper in the short- term  Openness automatically equates with quality  OER is about e-learning 21/05/2009 Advisory Group Meeting, Nairobi 9
  • 10. ACTIVITY PLAN 21/05/2009 Advisory Group Meeting, Nairobi 10
  • 11. Proposed Contribution (1)  To work systematically with partners to enhance institutional capacity in higher education to design, develop, and deliver quality higher education programs and materials;  To advocate the merits of collaboratively creating and sharing intellectual capital in higher education as a mechanism to improve quality and enhance long-term cost-effectiveness;  To help higher education institutions to establish supportive policy frameworks that support openness in the development, adaptation, and use of educational resources, and convert this into sustainable business models; 21/05/2009 Advisory Group Meeting, Nairobi 11
  • 12. Proposed Contribution (2)  To establish an online platform that facilitates African collaboration in OER development and sharing, while inter-connecting this platform with the many OER communities emerging globally;  To facilitate the re-development and reinvention of African higher education program curricula and course materials of exceptional quality and direct contextual relevance, producing world class graduates. 21/05/2009 Advisory Group Meeting, Nairobi 12
  • 13. OER Africa Activities (1) Structured Institutional Engagement:  Initial OER Sensitization & Exploration;  Policy Reviews to support development supportive institutional environment;  Materials Audits;  Proof of Concept Pilots;  Regular & ongoing communication / relationship- building. building 21/05/2009 Advisory Group Meeting, Nairobi 13
  • 14. OER Africa Activities (2)  Expansion of collaborative networks via OER domain-focused approach  Application of similar strategies to other key domain areas, e.g. Agriculture, Engineering, Teacher Education and the Arts & Humanities as the need / opportunity arises. 21/05/2009 Advisory Group Meeting, Nairobi 14
  • 15. OER Africa’s Activities (3) Ongoing research into OER concepts and practice in Africa: Aggregating Research Resources. Coordinating OER Africa Research activities:  Financially and educationally sustainable models for development, adaptation and use of OER in African higher education institutions;  Online discussions leading to research papers on key topics (e.g. remuneration), and;  Research into possible differences in the uptake and effect of OER in different subject domain areas. 21/05/2009 Advisory Group Meeting, Nairobi 15
  • 16. OER Africa’s Activities (4) Management and growth of the OER Africa website at www.oerafrica.org Meta-data federated with global OER repositories, thereby creating greater visibility for African-created OER. Statistics managed??? 21/05/2009 Advisory Group Meeting, Nairobi 16

  4. Faculty are not taught to teach! Faculty are often not supported in making the best use of what IT is available. Often accessibility is limited in terms of bandwidth – and in some cases, location, e.g. Hotspots that are nowhere near faculty offices, making the idea of using the internet in this way [see second bullet] impractical.

  11. PARTNERSHIPS: Worth noting that very few spaces exist to stimulate partnerships across African countries, although this is potentially a very powerful way of leveraging the limited capacity that exists within the continent’s higher education systems. Prepared by OER Africa 21/05/2009

  14. As well as domain focus, OER Africa has focused our attention on developing relationships with institutions or faculties where at least some of the following criteria are evident: Presence of a high-level decision-maker who is a current or potential OER champion; Existing inter-institutional collaborative networks which have already formed alliances; A perceived need which can be addressed by OER Africa , i.e. an identifiable, specific problem which the institution / faculty is trying to resolve, for example, curriculum development challenges, assessment challenges, and so on. Demonstrated commitment to the development of intellectual leadership / shared vision of the nature of the graduate as one who will contribute to / provide intellectual leadership in Africa as a result of their higher education experience; Prepared by OER Africa 21/05/2009
  15. RESEARCH Aggregating Research Resources (to be uploaded onto www.oerafrica.org ) This will include identifying and tagging existing materials, categorizing these using both the existing taxonomy and a ‘folksonomic’ approach. Ongoing searches for other research-related materials worth including in the research resource repository will also be conducted.. Coordinating OER Africa Research activities This entails coordinating a series of OER Africa research studies. Areas targeted for investigation during the grant period include: Financially and educationally sustainable models for development, adaptation and use of OER in African higher education institutions; Online discussions leading to research papers on key topics (for example, remuneration); and Research into possible differences in the uptake and effect of OER in different subject domain areas.   Prepared by OER Africa 21/05/2009
  16. The OER Africa website, www.oerafrica.org initially launched in April 2008 Subsequently re-vamped in October 2008, Serves as a host to various Africa-based communities of practice: · ACEMaths · HEALTH OER · PHEA-ETI · Research Community · Skills for a Changing World face-to-face support has been successfully offered to current CoP leaders, Online Guide to enable anyone interested to set up an online CoP, will be available from late March 2009. OER Africa continues to upload resources relevant to the understanding and practice of OER, including the research conducted internally. The OER Africa website will also serve to federate the meta-data generated by these online CoPs and by our own research products with global OER repositories, thereby creating greater visibility for African-created OER. So far, the site has received positive feedback from both casual and regular users. A strategy is now in place to carefully analyse site statistics in order to assess what aspects of the site are of greatest interest to users. Prepared by OER Africa 21/05/2009
