Abstract

The Open Educational Cycle is elaborated upon in this presentation, including constraints on Open Educational Practices within the cycle, with indications where breakdowns can occur. For example, in a study at a number of African universities, teaching materials had been created but subsequent revisions had not been contributed back into the open so that the original materials were considered ‘out of adaptation cycle date.’ In Research on Open Educational Resources for Development studies (ROER4D) copying was the most common practice, especially for videos, diagrams, and photographs.
