The College of Health Sciences (CHS) is the first of KNUST’s six colleges to launch an OER initiative, supporting the production and use of Open Educational Resources.

CHS is made up of over 2,000 students and comprises; the Faculties of Allied Health Sciences, Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, School of Medical Sciences, Dental School, School of Veterinary Medicine and the Kumasi Centre for Collaborative Research in tropical medicine (KCCR).

POLICY OVERVIEW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND USE OF OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES (OER)

In early 2009, CHS established an interdisciplinary committee of faculty, staff, and librarians across the university to examine the institutional faculty development and intellectual property policies.

The purpose of the OER Policy is to:identify human resource to support faculty in turning teaching and learning material into OER.clarify publication rights and policies regarding the use of required infrastructure (information technology, library, etc) and other support services.define collaborations within and [beyond] the university and the intent to allow access.develop and review OER materials prior to sharing them on a worldwide scale.
