Barriers• Unsure of where to
look or quality• Differing curriculum,
culture, language• Limited access to
Internet, computers, power
• Lack of local support (incentives, skills)
• Staying up to date on OER field

Approach: Local experts, localized contentWhen 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.

Approach: Crowdsourcing translations
12
1. Prioritize resources to translate. Choose short documents (e.g. videos <15 min.) with multi-cultural origin or appeal
2. Share the resources publicly under a license (e.g. Creative Commons) that allows derivatives such as translations
3. Create primary caption track in English as foundation for translations
4. Decide on translation tool (e.g. YouTube, Amara formerly UniversalSubtitles.org) that permits multiple users and offers computer translations
5. Recruit volunteer translators from local and international connections and websites.
6. As volunteers sign-up, add them to the appropriate languages/videos tracks and send instructions and deadline
7. Encourage and thank volunteers during campaign8. Report results 9. Refine process (e.g. collect feedback from volunteers)More details:

Approach: Networks for building capacity

“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.”
Dean at Partner Institution in Ghana

Outcomes: New content, skills, awareness

Increased awareness, access to, and ability to create learning
materials (local skills, practices, policies)
Visible and used collection:8,500 visits/month to 2 main
websites 550 copies of sampler DVDs
YouTube: 2.5M total views, ~400 comments, rating of 4.38

“We have limited resources but because of the Internet, we can share. The South has diseases [the Global North] knows nothing about. Our materials are relevant to us and in the North.”

Closing: Assurance of model, OER
“The African Health Open Educational Resources (OER) Network has shown that:•quality and cost-effectiveness are neither mutually exclusive nor unattainable…•The current impact study finds examples of direct and significant indirect savings through OER…•Enhanced quality is evidenced in the accounts of academics and students as well as in new quality assurance peer-review mechanisms.•OER developed through collaborative networks can lead to more productive teaching and learning...”
