SAIDE to develop an OER portal for the African Virtual University
The South African Institute for Distance Education (SAIDE) has signed an agreement to develop an open educational resources (OER) portal for the African Virtual University (AVU). The project is being supported by The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation.
In addition to creating an OER portal, SAIDE will provide training for staff at African educational institutions, assist AVU with hosting a continental conference of OER practitioners and develop knowledge guides on key OER topics. By helping AVU to advance the objectives of the OER movement, SAIDE will help to ensure that the developing world is contributing to a global process that has the potential to radically change how educational content is developed and used.
