Context: It is Difficult to Find Relevant Materials

When you look in textbooks it’s difficult to find African cases.

[S]ometimes it can be confusing when you see something that you see on white skin so nicely and very easy to pick up, but on the dark skin it has a different manifestation that may be difficult to see.

Advance health education in Africa by:

• Creating and promoting free, openly licensed teaching materials created by Africans to share knowledge

• Identifying and addressing curriculum gaps

• Bridging health education communities

Adapt and Create New Materials

Provide tools and guides for educators

and students to design, license, and

share learning materials

Gather Existing Materials

Find existing learning materials that are free,

electronic, and licensed to allow anyone to copy, adapt,

and share

Publicly Distribute MaterialsPromote the

materials worldwide through multiple online and offline

methods

Stimulate Discussion

Foster dialogue between health professionals around pedagogy, policy, and peer

review

“African universities struggle to have access to information. If we have information, why do we not also share it as part of a pool of universities to exchange information for the purpose of improved learning.”

Nuturing individuals and institutions

• Workshops

• On-site collaborative projects

• External training opportunities

For context, innovation, and sustainability, connecting people with peers at other institutions

• Quarterly newsletter

• Interest groups

• Regional events (workshops, conferences, publications)

Evaluation: Assessing the Program Model18

Independent evaluation

• Annual qualitative interviews and report of impact of the project within each of the four African partner universities

Evaluations by Central Coordination Team

• Cross-Institutional Collaboration Study - communication between the six organizations, and the policies, processes, and technologies that influenced those interactions

• Institutional Case Studies

• Periodic Monitoring of Web Analytics

Evalution: Highlights

2009 report:

• “Expectations and contractual targets had been met or exceeded by an impressive margin, with project coordinators and participants in each institution having engaged OER in creative ways that were most appropriate to their own contexts”

2012 report:

• “OER developed through collaborative networks can lead to more productive teaching and learning”

• “Enhanced quality is evidenced in the accounts of academics and students as well as in new quality assurance peer-review mechanisms”
