This week, OER Africa shares some resources we consider useful for institutions in the midst of current restrictions of movement and the requirements to introduce remote teaching in many countries due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We have selected resources for universities, school management teams, mathematics, reading and writing, as well as our most popular downloads over the past six months.
Most of these resources have been produced in sub-Saharan Africa for our context.
Resources for universities
- The Commonwealth of Learning’s Guide to Blended Learning
- Policy documents on OER
Resources for School Management Teams
- The Creating a Caring School Series: A Guide for School Management Teams
Resources for Mathematics; Reading and Writing
Although the following resources are not new, their approach to activity-based learning for teachers is still relevant.
- Exploring What It Means To ‘Do’ Mathematics
- Exercises on Teaching Data Handling
- Reading Skills
- Writing Skills
Most popular downloads
Finally, OER Africa’s most downloaded resources include the Being a Teacher series; the Household Food Security programme; and the Farmers Agribusiness Training course.
These resources are a small selection of what is available on the OER Africa website. The website concentrates on Health, Teacher Development, Agriculture and Foundations in Higher Education.
You can search for resources at the top of any page on the website.
