Advocacy

Africa’s HE Context Changing student profiles Continuing students, mature students, part-time, professional… New demands from learners Ubiquitous access (VLEs, OER Repositories, Open Access Journals, etc.) New pressures on HE systems Delivery: face to face, distance, blended mode Content: relevant, interactive, appropriate New pressures on governments Funding, connectivity, reliable power, education for all…

Pedagogical Transformation Grant In this phase OER Africa is integrating a Participatory Action Research (PAR) agenda into each of our institutional engagements. We believe that more focused interactions will facilitate a collaborative agenda and will therefore support four carefully selected institutional partners to: 1.build a deepened understanding of how OER practices can support transformation of teaching and learning 2.ensure that such accumulating understanding is widely shared and incorporated into policy and advocacy OER Africa believes that hands-on practice at institutional level will generate action- research and advocacy required to understand institutional transformation and the role of OER therein.

“Education is a human right with immense power to transform. On its foundation rest the cornerstones of freedom, democracy and sustainable human development.” Kofi Anan Nobel Laureate, 2001
