BUT actually if we consider ourselves as part of the picture it is more that we are supplying one element in a cultural mix
OLnet participated at the conference E-learning Africa 2010 (Lusaka, Zambia), and also paid a visit to Aisha Project School. The goal was to understand how teachers at Aisha have been using OER with the support of UK funded initiatives. There is a mix of ‘chalk and talk’ and the use of technologies to enhance learning at the school, given that the learners have no access to text books. However, the teachers at Aisha have been moving away from chalk and talk and using more enquiry-based learning to teach with OER – indicating that OER can encourage new teaching practices.
OLnet was invited to participate in a number of events in Brazil, involving university executives, educators, researchers and students. The goal was to raise OER awareness and to understand how teachers perceive and use OER in Brazil, particularly content that is available in English. Various workshops and focus-group were ran and OLnet gained further knowledge of the motivations and barriers of using OER cross-culturally.
