What are the enablers of OER?
Some evidence: Quotes from academics at UCT
![Page 18: Glenda Cox on Open Educational Resources in Higher Education](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070313/5549d0a6b4c905856d8b4d45/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Philosophy
Enabler Constraint• Lack of awareness
• Institutions are not always supportive of sharing
• Individual academics need to believe in the value of sharing
![Page 19: Glenda Cox on Open Educational Resources in Higher Education](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070313/5549d0a6b4c905856d8b4d45/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Technical
Enabler Constraint• Not everyone has access
• Digital divide between Global south and North
• Lack of ability and skills

20
Financial
Enabler Constraint• Support from external
funders like Shuttleworth and Mellon is temporary
• After seed funding institutions must then take over

21
Legal
Enabler Constraint• Academics are not aware of
Creative Commons or how Creative Commons works
• They are not that concerned about their Intellectual property ( although they do want attribution) but they are very concerned about infringing the copyright of others
“So actually I think you’re more protected if you make something legitimately an OER and then somebody else uses it.”

23
Pedagogy
• Change:Teachers comfortable in their classroom space
• Creation: interactive teaching styles do not always result in online materials
• Use: difficult to find relevant OER
![Page 24: Glenda Cox on Open Educational Resources in Higher Education](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070313/5549d0a6b4c905856d8b4d45/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Quality
Readiness of materials:“If they’re ready for students to
see, then they’re as ready as they’re going to get.”
Quality check:“I think that each individual
preparing their materials must be sure that their material is substantively correct, sound or critical.”
they don’t look good enough to put out there
“But I would love to be able to give what I had to somebody and say does it… it’s sort of like is there cohesion, does it make sense”
Improve quality“.. I think it will make everyone go over it two or three times, ya.”

WHY OER? WHAT ARE THE POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF OER?
![Page 27: Glenda Cox on Open Educational Resources in Higher Education](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070313/5549d0a6b4c905856d8b4d45/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Global challenges in Higher Education
Increasing demand for education and
insufficient institutions
Increasing cost of Higher education and text
booksIncreasing Competition
Variable quality in teaching
Asymmetries of power and wealth and
curriculum from the Global North favoured over the Global south
![Page 28: Glenda Cox on Open Educational Resources in Higher Education](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070313/5549d0a6b4c905856d8b4d45/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Challenges for South Africa
• Crisis in Basic education
• Skills shortage/’persistent human Capital gap” (Taylor, 2011)
Higher education: high school graduates of varied ability
Higher education institutions quality variable

Why now for departments?
• Increase institutional visibility, advancing competitiveness, attracting students and resources
• Promote effective social responsiveness• Improve recruitment by helping the right students find the right
programmes• Enhance teaching coherence across courses• Ensure better long-term archiving, curation and reuse of teaching
materials• Attract alumni as life-long learners
![Page 30: Glenda Cox on Open Educational Resources in Higher Education](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070313/5549d0a6b4c905856d8b4d45/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
Why now – individually?
• Profile teaching and pedagogical idea sharing• Create record of teaching for teaching portfolio• Foster connections between other colleagues,
departments and even other universities (especially cross-disciplinary studies)
• Increase impact of teaching materials• Extend use of teaching materials to high school
learners and life-long learners
