OER Africa - Learning Pathways Pilot

Platform used to pilot the use of the learning pathways with various stakeholders including AfLIA in 2020.

OER Africa is developing and testing innovative alternative approaches to continuing professional development (CPD) for academics. These approaches comprise learning pathways (LPs) for university academic staff that will enable them to improve their teaching and learning capacity using OER. In contrast to traditional workshop-based professional development, the standalone online LPs consist of short tutorials that engage participants in authentic learning tasks. They also provide access to useful, up-to-date Open Educational Resources (OER).
