Editor's Notes
- Open educational resources are resources in any media format which are freely accessible, useful for teaching and learning and are openly licenced.
- By openly licenced, I mean they each carry a Creative Commons licence. These licences provide a standardized way of giving the public permission to share and use your creative work on conditions of your choice. These conditions begin with the base condition Attribution (as long as you acknowledge the author). Attribution Share-alike means that when sharing you need to acknowledge the original author, as well as share the work under the same licence. Non-commercial means that you are not allowed to profit from sharing the work. Non-derivative means you are not allowed to build upon the work.
- Free access. Most importantly, no licence fees – many of our students can’t afford to buy the expensive textbooks they are required to use during their studies. Remixing allows us to help improve and build upon existing works.
- During the first semester, I run a workshop which teaches first year students about OER and how to find and recognise open resources. After the introductory talk, I get them to find ten open images related to the human anatomy. Seeing that Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons images are easy to find, they are restricted from using those specific websites. In addition to getting the students to learn how to search for open images, they also help build a library of open images which we, as a faculty, can use.
- The response to being asked to produce OER has been varied, with a few no’s, a few undecided and many resounding yes’s. No foto by Piotr VaGla Waglowski.

- Professor Johannes Fagan decided to create the Open Access Guides on his own. Recognising that health professionals in the developing countries may not be able to pay large amounts of money for resources, he decided to create open resources.
- Perhaps the most notable of recent OERs is the mobile translation app and websites created by Dr Saadiq Moolla, a former Health Science student, who with his brother (also a UCT student), saw a need and found a solution.
- Dr Juan Klopper is a surgeon at Grootte Schuur Hospital who is extremely passionate about teaching, and even more – he is passionate about openness. Currently, he has 867 videos on Surgery, physics and mathematics; and 584 subscribers to his YouTube channel.
