It is difcult to nd relevant materials When you look in textbooks it’s difficult to find African cases. [S]ometimes it can be confusing when you see something that you see on white skin so nicely and very easy to pick up, but on the dark skin it has a different manifestation that may be difficult to see. Professor at Partner Institution in Ghana
23
Adapt and Create New Materials
Provide tools and guides for educators and
students to design, license, and share learning materials
Gather Existing Materials Finding existing learning materials
that are free, electronic, and licensed to allow anyone to copy,
adapt, and share
Publicly Distribute Materials
Promote the materials worldwide through multiple online and
ofine methods
Facilitate Discussion
Foster dialogue between health professionals around
pedagogy, policy, and peer review

“African universities struggle to have access to information. If we have information, why do we not also share it as part
of a pool of universities to exchange information for the purpose of improved learning.” Dean at Partner Institution in Ghana

“We have limited resources but because of the Internet, we can share. The South has diseases [the Global North] knows nothing about. Our materials are relevant to us and in the North.” Professor at Partner Institution in South Africa

E.g. Open Translation Workow 36
1. Prioritize resources to translate. Choose short documents (e.g. videos <15 min.) with multi-cultural origin or appeal
2. Share the resources publicly under a license (e.g. Creative Commons) that allows derivatives such as translations
3. Create primary caption track in English as foundation for translations 4. Decide on translation tool (e.g. YouTube, Amara) that permits
multiple users and offers computer translations 5. Recruit volunteer translators from local and international connections
and websites. 6. As volunteers sign-up, add them to the appropriate languages/
videos tracks and send instructions and deadline 7. Encourage and thank volunteers during campaign 8. Report results 9. Refine process (e.g. collect feedback from volunteers)

Outcomes: Health, Art, Design Collab.

Electronic learning activities are not widespread Health instructors do not have time to learn multimedia skills In response, partnerships emerged between: • Students and educators • Artists, technologists, and educators
E.g. communication design, sculptors, videographers, 3D animators
40
Outcomes: Active community & collection
Image CC:BY-SA Scott Maxwell (Flickr)
Increased awareness, access to, and ability to create learning materials
Quarterly newsletter (1000+ subscribers)
Cross-institutional interest groups
Visible and used collection
(8,500 visits/mo to websites, 2.5M total views and 350+comments on YouTube)
41
Outcomes: Summary from External Eval.
“The African Health Open Educational Resources (OER) Network has shown that: • quality and cost-effectiveness are neither mutually
exclusive nor unattainable… • The current impact study finds examples of direct and
significant indirect savings through OER… • Enhanced quality is evidenced in the accounts of academics
and students as well as in new quality assurance peer-review mechanisms.
• OER developed through collaborative networks can lead to more productive teaching and learning...”

Dispelling myths and preconceptions
Myth that open content is separate from regular materials development Myth that open licenses cannot coexist with peer review Myth that open licenses cannot coexist with print or commercialized complements Authors misunderstanding copyright or open licenses (e.g. adding other barriers to use)
43
Opportunities
Image CC:BY-SA opensourceway (Flickr)
Millions of open resources available Adaptation, translation, curation for new contexts and delivery methods Credentialing for prior or self-learning
