the Way Forward for Member Countries
MONITORING
(a) deploying appropriate research mechanisms to measure
the effectiveness and efficiency of OER policies and
incentives against defined objectives;
(b) collecting and disseminating progress, good practices,
innovations and research reports on OER and its
implications with the support of UNESCO and
international open education communities; and
(c) developing strategies to monitor the educational
effectiveness and long-term financial efficiency of OER,
which include participation of all relevant stakeholders.
Such strategies could focus on improving learning
processes and strengthening the connections between
findings, decision-making, transparency, and
accountability to inclusive and equitable quality education
and research.
