#oped12 Want to read more on OER?
There is a lot out there - particularly about OER Africa.
Here a list with some recent publications.
- A special issue on Distance Education for Empowerment and Development in Africa including Catherine Ngugi’s paper on OER in Africa’s higher education institutions.
- The Commonwealth of Learning and UNESCO have just published Open Educational Resources and Change in Higher Education
- An empirical investigation of the emergent issues around OER adoption in Sub-Saharan Africa by Pauline Ngimwaa & Tina Wilson
- The OER mix in higher education: purpose, process, product, and policy by Samuel Nikoi & Alejandro Armellini from the special issue on OER and Social Inclusion
- CORRE: a framework for evaluating and transforming teaching materials into open educational resources by Samuel K. Nikoi, Tania Rowlett, Alejandro Armellini & Gabi Witthaus
- Special Issue: Open Educational Resources from 2009 (!) of Open Learning: The Journal of Open, Distance and e-Learning
- OER Knowledge Cloud
My favorite clearly is the Knowledge Cloud. I guess I am having my girlie 5 minutes - the logo does look a bit like a cloud. But mostly I like the idea of this website. Go and have a look!
Now the big prize question is: are all these papers also available off-campus OR are they “protected” and safely stored behind a login?? Wouldn’t that be ironic, to say the least…
I will try as soon as I get home and I will report back. I promise.
