How to locate relevant OER

We are closely following innovations around OER based academic or open learning practices. Thanks to the Virtual University for Small States of the Commonwealth (VUSSC) Project which has not only gently initiated us into OER but has also driven capacity building activities at institutional level. Please find A Basic Guide to OER (2015)
Notable references as follows:


Reflection points for us:
1. How helpful is the guide to you in locating resources that are relevant to your course?
2. Which resources are you now better able to locate with the help of the guide?


Resource: Handbook on In-house Style for Course Development
We have re-purposed the Handbook to be responsive to our professional development needs.

  • Which of your professional development needs are adequately addressed in the Handbook?
  • Which gaps can you identify in the Handbook?

  1. Thanks Thula for the additional reading materials. Could you kindly forward your university’s manual on Indesign that you shared with us during the last days of the training?
