PHEA ETI Project - incorporating OERs

PHEA ETI• The Partnership for Higher Education in Africa Educational

Technology Initiative aims to support interventions in universities to make increasingly effective use of educational technology to address some of the underlying educational challenges facing the higher educational sector in Africa.

• The proposed strategic objectives of the PHEA ETI are to:

– Support teaching and learning initiatives which integrate educational technology;

– Promote collaborative knowledge creation and dissemination; – Get core institutional systems to work so that they support teaching

and learning more directly; and – Research and report on educational technology activity in African

universities by means of a long term project.

• The Partnership for Higher Education in Africa (PHEA) was a joint project of Carnegie Corporation of New York, The Ford Foundation, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and the Kresge Foundation.
