Open Education Tutorials

OER Africa has developed, and continues to test, innovative alternative approaches to continuous professional development (CPD) for academics. One strategy has been to develop Open Education Tutorials for university academic staff that will empower them to embrace open education. Open education topics range from effective use of existing Open Educational Resources (OER), licensing new materials with an open licence, publishing using open access, communicating research findings to a wider audience, and facilitating online learning.

In contrast to traditional workshop-based professional development, these standalone tutorials are short, informative, engaging, and practical. They can be used for self-study, or for group study, depending on how an institution offers CPD training for staff.


The field of Open Education is exciting, very much in flux and constantly evolving! All tutorials will be updated to reflect new trends and practices. Have a suggestion for an update or revision? E-mail us at infoatsaide [dot] org [dot] za with suggestions.
