Study on Public-Private Partnerships in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for Education
The idea of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) has generated growing interest from governments around the world as a possible mechanism for developing and sustaining public infrastructure and services. For example, PPPs were identified at the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development as significant tools for achieving global sustainable development. Many governments are turning to the private sector for the financing, design, construction and operation of infrastructure projects.
OER Policy Clinic for Foundational Literacy and Numeracy
An online clinic on open educational resources (OER) and national policy on 27 September, 2021, was facilitated by Neil Butcher & Associates, in partnership with the EdTech Hub, UNESCO, the mEducation Alliance, and the Education Commission.
The workshop sought to cover the following issues:
Communities of Practice: A Research Paper Prepared by OER Africa
Gaining ethical consent from patients for content released as OER
The Use of Open Education Resources at the University of Malawi (UNIMA)
UNIMA finds itself in a situation where very few students have access to the approved textbooks and readings, nullifying the prescribed book lists. Resources in the reserve section of the college libraries are in great demand, and popular books undergo rebinding many times in their life cycle.
It is against this background that UNIMA embarked on a strategy to exploit Open Education Resources (OER).
ICT, Education, Development, and the Knowledge Society
Distance education for empowerment and development in Africa
As guest editors of this Special Issue of Distance Education, this issue harnesses the opportunity to profile African innovations in the areas of open and distance learning, and e-learning. The contributions assembled provide a balanced and engaging series of articles and reports on the kinds of empowerment and development that are extending and enhancing educational opportunity in African schools and universities. Importantly, they also demonstrate that African experiences – positive and negative – have global relevance.
William & Flora Hewlett Foundation/Commonwealth of Learning Open Education Resources for Open Schools: Final Evaluation: Main Report
The report provides an analysis of the project’s overall achievement in terms of the main objectives of the study. For the COL project team, the report provides an analysis of the project activities, achievement of high quality, relevant and effective materials and an analysis of the potential for increased quality of education in countries where OERs are used and where teachers’ professional capacity was extended to the use of technology.
