“When you look in textbooks it’s difficult to find African cases. The cases may be pretty similar but sometimes 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.” -Richard Phillips, lecturer, Department of Internal Medicine, KNUST (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.” African Health OER Network Participant from South Africa

Challenges 10
Myth that OER is separate from regular materials development Myth that open licenses cannot coexist with peer review or print Authors misunderstanding copyright or open licenses (e.g. adding other barriers to use) Shift from creation to adaptation
Opportunities 11
