Abstract
Research into Open Educational Resources for Development (ROER4D) utilizes the term “harmonising” to reflect production of research that deliberately attempts to ‘strike a chord’ with other research, taking researchers’ contexts into account and thereby optimising comparability of data. The presentation provides examples from the global South, and reviews impact and adoption of open educational resources (OER). OER represents a broad variety of digital content, including full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, videos, tests, software, and any other means of conveying knowledge. OER uses Creative Commons and alternative licensing schemes to more easily distribute knowledge.
