Mr Gino Fransman presented on introducing open educational resources (OER) at NMMU in 2015. He discussed how increased technology access allows resources to be available anytime, anywhere, and encouraged considering open alternatives for teaching and learning support. OER are defined as resources with an open license allowing reuse and adaptation without permission. Several OER websites and examples were provided. Fransman advocated for opening up educational possibilities through knowledge sharing and highlighted NMMU's focus on collaborative and problem-based assessments. Attendees were invited to contact Fransman to further discuss implementing OER.
