This presentation will introduce the exciting terrain of OER, identify the social, technical, legal, and financial motivators that are enabling the movement, and demonstrate how it has the potential to change academic practice and create new avenues for collaboration and feedback. He will argue that in adopting and familiarising oneself with OER practice academics can become ‘global scholars’, embracing Web 2.0 tools and open licensing systems which have the potential to enhance and increase the reach of their knowledge.

The presentation will detail an African university’s journey towards institutionalizing support for open educational resources. The talk intends to provide a base with which OER advocates can encourage African academic leaders to embrace openness and to highlight some of the benefits not only for the global community but also for the institution, students and contributing academic.
