Dear all,

Dear all,

This UNU Book on ‘The Why and How of Open Education’ is an introduction to Open Education (OE), giving practical guidance on the design and delivery of OE courses while wrestling with theoretical considerations of this new and emerging domain. Educators are the main targets, but it will also be relevant to policy makers, senior education managers and the learning industry as a whole.

This is a follow up to the earlier blog posts reporting on the SA ict@innovation Advanced African FOSS Business Training workshop.

There have been numerous blog posts about this workshop providing most of the bits and pieces on what we have been doing over there, as well on the outcomes achieved during those days.

For you reading convenience, and to have all relevant information within a single document, Fred and I have put together a consolidated workshop report which can be found below attached!

openEd 2.0 course 2011 modules (January to February 2011)

The video has been recorded alongside the “ict@innovation Advanced African FOSS Business Training workshop”, organized by InWEnt SA, at Wits University in Johannesburg SA from November 29^th to December 1^st in 2010.

At this short interview Isaac Kigen is briefly describing “The Way Forward” of the Advanced African FOSS Business Trainings (FBT) and the FBT Community itself. The FBT initially started as a project managed by a contracted project team, but has now grown into a vivid community of trainers, entrepreneurs and practitioners from Southern and East Africa and beyond. This also means that the FBT community would need a different governing structure that allows it to act and decide on their own behalf and needs.
