Textbooks are very useful educational resources. But they must be used well. In order to make the best use of textbooks within a media-rich teaching style, we need to understand how textbooks differ from the popular media resources we will use in our classroom.

How can we help learners to develop the ability to respond to media more critically? This section aims to enable you to do just that.

In this section we will explore how popular print media – in particular newspapers and magazines – can be used to improve classroom learning and teaching.

In Section Two, through a story of one teacher's attempt to teach in a learnercentred, activity-based manner, we will deepen your understanding of how media resources can be used to enrich outcomes-based education.

The important question we address in this module is: How can teachers use popular media, textbooks, and computer technologies to create a learning environment that equips learners with the knowledge and skills to live and work thoughtfully in a changing South Africa?

The focus of this module is on how teachers might use popular media, textbooks and computertechnologies to create a learning environment that equips learners with the knowledge andskills to live and work thoughtfully in a changing country.

This report, based on a desktop review, unpacks the possibilities of opennes in African higher education, launching the discussion with a presentation and explanation of the concepts and icons associated with various tenets of open practice. The discussion then moves on to explore the factors leading to the rise of openness, including a social inclination towards opennes, government involvement, and technological innovations that have encouraged and facilitated openness.

Professor Ken Harley prepared this outline to support teacher educators to build a module on Curriculum from Open Educational Resources.
