Background
“UNESCO believes that universal access to high quality education is key to the building of peace, sustainable social and economic development, and intercultural dialogue. Open Educational Resources (OER) provide a strategic opportunity to improve the quality of education as well as facilitate policy dialogue, knowledge sharing and capacity building.”(1)

Research Team (CUDI-CONACYT)22 professors, 7 researchers7 institutions of higher education
The projects resulted in 64 OERs for mobile access designed to be used for post-graduate research assistant training.

Repositories
6
A set of centralized web services which aims to organize, manage, preserve and disseminate digital materials (mainly for scientific and academic purposes) as created by an institution and its members. Digital materials are used under open access policies.
In Latin America we are working on three types of repositories: institutional, national and continental.

What is temoa.info?• A website that selects on-line OER that educators
anywhere can use to improve their courses and teaching practices.
• They are designed to be:• easy to find• easy to adapt

Filters by media type
OER Content Playlists promote and facilitate remixing of core courses and their components
Index subjects
Create new content:• Course• Topic• Activity
Examples of playlists:1. OER as textbook
alternatives (bibliographic resources)
2. OER as reusable resources3. OER as learner generated/
modified content
Lessons learned
As a group, we decided to integrate several working teams to maximize the potential of learning via the creation of a Community of Practice (CoP) for each research project.
Potentials and challenges that can arise from the integration of learning with MOOCs and OERs
• On-going research• Enhanced instructional design• Shared communication• Technical support• Further and sustained impact on training and
knowledge transference.
