Research on Open Educational Resources

for Development (ROER4D) in the Global South:

A very short overview for Open Education Week

Many claims have been made about the potential of Open Educational Resources (OER) to address key challenges

in developing countries to:

• increase access to higher education

• contain or reduce costs

• enhance quality, currency & relevance

BUT, most of the research on OER adoption and impact has been undertaken in the “Global North”

Dearth of OER evidence in the Global South

http://oerresearchhub.org/evidence/oer-impact/

In what ways, and under what circumstances, can the adoption of

OER impact upon the increasing demand for accessible, relevant,

high-quality, and affordable education in the Global South?
