Abstract:
This document is prepared for Abel Cain of the UNESCO (ICT in Education KSD/CI) and Jane-Frances. Agbu of the NOUN OER unit. There were preparations in June and July 2015, followed by a mission to Lagos at the headquarters of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) in the last week of July. After the initial production of OER courses a mission in November 2015 focussed on the MOOC design and the creation of icon-version and podcasts. During the work at a distance and the missions, the issues regarding the publication and distribution of NOUN-courses as OER in open and mobile formats were addressed in cooperation with the newly established OER unit (Jane-FrancesAgbu, Yemi Dahunsi, Okechukwu Okafor). This document covers the transforming of existing NOUN-courses into OER-courses to be made available in open formats for academic re-use, mobile formats for smartphones and tablets of students and electronic format for self-print by students. For that purpose a specific template with instructions for its use and advises has been prepared. The workflow and all the production-details have been tuned and updated in this document based on the experience in the 2nd half of 2015. This document is describing the current and new situation and the organisation of the OER-unit,followed by an explanation of the five main steps in the realisation of the OER-courses. After that the follow-up in January 2015 is described.
