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
