Adoption and Impact of OER in the Global South - Chapter summaries
2018
Education in the Global South faces several key interrelated
challenges for which Open Educational Resources (OER) are seen to be
part of the solution and against which use of OER might be evaluated.
These challenges include: unequal access to education; variable quality
of educational resources, teaching and student performance; and
increasing cost and concern about the sustainability of education.
The Research on Open Educational Resources for Development (ROER4D)
project was a four-year research initiative to investigate in what ways
and under what circumstances the adoption of OER could address the
increasing demand for accessible, relevant, high quality and affordable
education in the Global South.
The project was comprised of 18 sub-projects, the findings from which are captured as chapters in the edited volume, Adoption and Impact of OER in the Global South.
The summaries presented here provide an overview of chapters’ study
contexts, methodological approaches, key findings and recommendations,
as well as links to accompanying open datasets. Of the total 16
chapters, 12 are based on sub-project findings and four are synthesis
and overview chapters. The chapters are organised into five main
sections: Overview, South America, Sub-Saharan Africa, South and
Southeast Asia, and Conclusion. Within these broader sections, chapters
are presented in sequence according to whether the research addresses
basic or higher education.
