OER Dossier

A solid dossier was developed on evidence that the use and adaptation of existing OER raise the quality of teaching and/or reduces costs.

It will serve as basis for workshops and policy advice.


The dossier aims to:
·         Define the concept of OER;
·         Give an overview of ongoing initiatives in the creation and implementation of OER worldwide;
·         Provide an OER economic value proposition with potential for educational transformation;
·         Outline some emerging challenges to the creation and implementation of OER; and 
·         Give an overview of Open Licences.

Based on this dossier and the outcomes of the Capacity Building Workshops, the main stakeholders in the project: UNESCO and COL, in cooperation with OER Africa (and others), will devise an interactive workplan to implement project activities and present it to the Policy Forum in December 2010.
