UNESCO Open Educational Resources (OER) Dynamic Coalition Portal

OER Africa coordinated a project for the Network of Open Orgs, which involved a collaborative effort among several members of the Network to develop a set of seven case study summaries that collectively explored the success of OER and highlighted the implications of these initiatives for Continuous Professional Development for OER practices. The case studies were analysed to produce a set of key findings for this summary report.

This case study explores the U.S. Department of Labour's Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) grant programme, which was a major investment to promote the ability of U.S. community colleges to address the challenges of today's workforce.

This case study explores TESS-India. Initiated in 2012, TESS-India is an award-winning programme established to strengthen and transform professional development activities and classroom practices in India. Through a collaboration with 200 Indian and international teachers and teacher education experts, the programme has developed nearly 200 Open Educational Resources (OER) in multiple languages.

The African Virtual University (AVU) launched its OER initiative called OER@AVU in 2011. It was part of a larger project designed to increase access to affordable education at AVU’s 27 partner institutions spanning 22 countries. It sought to encourage the collaborative creation and sharing of open, distance, and e-learning resources.
