The Berta Project
Demonstration of Online Resources
Discussion & contributions
Background
• Need established for:– massive and ongoing expansion of quality teacher
development in Africa• Possible solution:
– identify OERs that fit the needs– organise currently scattered OERs more efficiently
• Offered:– via expansion of ODL– in collaboration with stakeholder community
Project Objectives1. Collate a set of OER organized into a course format that will enable
teacher educators to explore the potential of distance and eLearning to support teacher development, empowering them to adapt existing OER to suit their own contexts of practice.
2. Provide a set or collection of themed resources in a form that promotes flexible delivery options of the full set or a selection thereof by the target audience.
3. Develop the resource and its constituent parts in consultation with the target stakeholder community.
Note: The final version will be published under a creative commons CCBY license and will become available to anybody with an interest in using distance and eLearning provision to support expanded quality teacher development.

• Find and collate appropriate OERs
• Integration of OERs in the programme and environment
• Interacting with stakeholders

Wherever/whenever the opportunity arises
• Analyze and respond to stakeholders feedback
• Finalise learning environments
Why OER and why 4 ODeL Modules?
• Provision of learning resources is a key characteristic of ODeL, hence it is logical to think about OER
• BUT: learning resources do not on their own make an ODeL programme
• Learning resources need to be integrated with:– an appropriate assessment strategy, hence Module 2– decentralised student support, hence Module 3– interaction and collaboration can be enhanced through ICT
integration, hence Module 4– and the whole has to be designed coherently, well before
registration, hence Module 1.

Questions for reflection & contribution• If you are integrating OER into your teacher
education programmes:– what sources have you found particularly useful? – what are the challenges and how can they be overcome?
• If you are using ODeL methods to offer your teacher education programmes:– what sources have you found particularly useful? – what are the challenges and how can they be overcome?
• Please indicate your interest and/or send active links to useful relevant OER to [email protected] or [email protected]
Thank You!
