When you look in textbooks it’s difficult to find African cases. The cases may be pretty similar but sometimes it can be confusing when you see something that you see on white skin so nicely and very easy to pick up, but on the dark skin it has a different manifestation that may be difficult to see.

The mission of the African Health Open Educational Resources (OER) Network (est. 2008) is to advance health education in Africa by creating and promoting free, openly licensed teaching materials created by Africans to share knowledge, address curriculum gaps, and support health education communities. www.oerafrica.org/healthoer

Gather Existing MaterialsAssist health professionals in finding materials that

are free, electronic, and openly licensed (i.e. expressly allow the general public to use, adapt,

copy, and redistribute)

Facilitate Discussion

Foster dialogue between health

professionals around pedagogy, policy,

peer review, and openness via onsite consultation,

discussion lists, conference calls, and newsletters

It's easiest to create open content from the start.

Start now by making a small change in how you create

your own content.

What does this mean for you?
