17. Support capacity building for the sustainable development of quality learning materials

18. OLnet participated at the conference E-learning Africa 2010 (Lusaka, Zambia), and also paid a visit to Aisha Project School. The goal was to understand how teachers at Aisha have been using OER with the support of UK funded initiatives. There is a mix of ‘chalk and talk’ and the use of technologies to enhance learning at the school, given that the learners have no access to text books. However, the teachers at Aisha have been moving away from chalk and talk and using more enquiry-based learning to teach with OER – indicating that OER can encourage new teaching practices.

22. ‘The idea of redesigning something offered by the OU is a little daunting, even if they do have publishing/editing control. I will probably limit myself to some key skills modules where I can do less damage.’
Learner A

23. ‘You cannot actually do any damage because your work is copy of the original’
Learner B
‘You may not do any damage but it is still daunting all the same. I think most of us have respect for other people´s text and feel quite shy to meddle with it. Perhaps a younger generation will feel less inhibited?’
Learner C

24. Encourage the development and adaptation of OER in a variety of languages

28. Cultural imperialism or Cultural mix?
BUT actually if we consider ourselves as part of the picture it is more that we are supplying one element in a cultural mix
