Adoption And Impact Of Oer In The Global SouthHodgkinson-Williams, C., & Arinto, P. - 2017 - Zenodo
Education in the Global South faces several key interrelated challenges, for which Open Educational Resources (OER) are seen to be part of the solution. These challenges include: unequal access to education; variable quality of educational resources, teaching, and student performance; and increasing cost and concern about the sustainability of education. The Research on Open Educational Resources for Development (ROER4D) project seeks to build on and contribute to the body of research on how...

The research presented here focuses on understanding the obstacles, opportunities and practices associated with Open Educational Resources (OER) adoption at three South African universities. It addresses the question: Why do South African lecturers adopt – or not adopt – OER? In trying to answer this, the authors also attempt to identify which factors shape lecturers’ OER adoption decisions, and how lecturers’ institutional cultures influence their OER use and creation choices. This study...

In frank interviews with eleven of the VCs most affected, he examines the forces at work, why the protests escalate into chaos, and what is driving – and...

In this setting, short in-service training interventions are a pragmatic attempt at improving nurse performance and patient outcomes. Traditional didactic teaching formats have limitations, and mLearning (the use of mobile telephones to facilitate education) has proved equivalent or superior to traditional...

For many years, the University of Rostock/Technical Education has supported three universities from Mozambique, Ethiopia and South Africa in their effort to establish a modern educational and further educational programme for VET pedagogues. A Further Education network was established in the first steps. If more German universities support it, this network can expand to various other Sub-Saharan African countries. This still poses the essential question which scientific approach will be the...
