OER AFRICA
OER Africa has developed and continues to refine innovative alternative approaches to continuous professional development (CPD) for university academics. One key strategy involves the creation of Open Education Tutorials designed to empower academic staff to engage with and adopt open education practices. These tutorials cover a range of topics, including the effective use of existing Open Educational Resources (OER), licensing newly developed materials under open licenses, publishing through open access channels, disseminating research findings to broader audiences, and facilitating online learning. |
