Welcome to the OER Resources Collection. This is a moderated collection of resources relevant to everyone interested in the development of open education resources in education in Africa.
OER Africa is nascent project currently being implemented by the South African Institute for Distance Education (SAIDE) with support from the Hewlett Foundation. In devising a Plan of Action for OER Africa the working group has determined that there is a need to find out just how OER might contribute to the needs of Higher Education Institutions in Sub-Saharan Africa. This research study will investigate the key challenges to higher education in Sub-Saharan Africa and identify those areas in which Open Educational Resources could contribute significantly to finding solutions to those challenges.
