OER Africa aims to provide a home for all African OER courseware.  Over the years our focus has been on Agriculture, Foundation Skills, Health and Teacher Education where we have a wealth of OER course materials that have been developed for the African context. We are excited to host the OER courseware that has been developed through the Partnership for Enhanced and Blended Learning (PEBL) Project.

In addition, OER Africa is curating continuous professional development OERs for Academics, Academic Librarians and Senior Management.
