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.

Share experiences! UNESCO launches ICT-in-Education online community

uehlers — 2007-08-09T06:33:00Z

As part of a new Knowledge Communities project, UNESCO Office in Bangkok has launched an online ICT-in-Education community: an interactive forum which welcomes educators, teachers, administrators, policy makers and others to share their ideas and opinions on topics relating to the use of ICT in education.

The purpose of the online community is to foster discussion of topics relating to the integration of ICT in teaching and learning. Topics will cover areas such as:

* ICT for Policy Makers,
* ICT in Teaching and Learning,
* ICT in Teacher Training, and
* Free and Open Source Software in education.

Members of the online community will have the opportunity to share their knowledge about the use of ICT in education, to discuss recent developments and announce events and conferences. They will also be able to review and exchange teaching materials, such as lesson plans, training guidelines and toolkits with other participants.

Participants will also benefit from the possibilities of expanding their networks, meeting interesting people and building partnerships through the forum.

The Knowledge Communities project and the online forum are supported by Japanese Funds-in-Trust.

Everybody interested in the field of ICT in Education is welcome to join the online community. Registration and participation in the forum is free. To become a member, simply register on the forum website: http://www.unescobkk.org/forum/education/ict/
