The presentation focuses on Open Educational Resources (OER) as a response to education challenges in developing countries, such as affordability, access, relevance, and educational policy, particularly in Africa. Most OER research is taking place in the Global North, and the research questions in what ways, and under what circumstances are OER being adopted in the Global South. It reviews several projects underway in countries South of the Sahara, towards developing capacity of OER and Open Educational Practices (OEP).
