- 23. Open Educational Resources “OER are teaching or learning resources that have been released under an intellectual property license that permits their free use or re-purposing by others. OER include full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, tests, software” (adapted from: Atkins)

- 26. Policy Level Issues • Students able to have own devices • Computer Laboratories • Applications (including Open Source) • Infrastructure Maintenance (equipment, backups etc) • Link to ICT policy 1. ICT Infrastructure & Applications • Sufficient bandwidth • Stable network • Wired and wireless access throughout campuses 2. Connectivity & Internet Access
- 27. Policy Level Issues • ICT as core component of teaching & learning (blended) • Use of OER to support materials development • Ongoing quality improvement • Staff recognition (financial, promotion, other, etc) 3. Programme, Course & Materials Design • Copyright and Creative Commons licenses • Encourage use of OER 4. (Open) Licensing & Intellectual Property
- 28. Policy Level Issues • Meet quality standards • Monitoring and evaluation 5. Quality Assurance & Evaluation • Professional development for academic and admin staff • Use of education technology in teaching & learning 6. Capacity Building • Advocacy of ICT integration • Institutional events & circulating materials 7. Change Management
- 29. Supporting Principles Adaptive to Change Build Capacity Open Education Collaboration Look to Add Value

- Enablement of technology: improve learning motivation, improve quality, introduce new methods of learning, increase access to resources, improve understanding in how to use technology
- Develop 21st century skills - Independent learning, collaboration, teamwork, networking & adaptabilityGreater cost-effectiveness (more students at higher quality and less cost)
- New Media Consortium (NMC) – international community of educational technology experts – research looks at impact of educational technology globally in next 5 yearsSocial media – students and staff use social media to share & find information & developments, possibilities for learning communitiesIntegration – best of both f2f and network, more universities turning to itFluency – no staff training on digital literacyAccess – drive to increase numbers – need academic background to be successfulRelevant – rethink the value, other business models
- 2013 = 650 000 students, 2015 = 1 million, 2030 = 2.5 millionIncreasing number of matrics seeking opportunities And matrics who need additional instruction in Maths and Science before going onto college or university programmes RPL will be applied more widely
- Teaching - Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) - Content dissemination and student support, Online AssessmentComms - Growing interest in the social networking in education working sites, wikis, communication tools and folksonomiesAdmin - systems for: admission and records, examination and transcripts, finance and management information systems
- The mode of education provision is typically viewed on a continuum from purely face-to-face tuition through to education purely at a distance, the latter traditionally conceptualised as correspondence tuition with no face-to-face interaction between teachers and learners. However, there is now more resource-based (independent) learning in f2f programmes, more f2f interaction in distance. Prediction that, especially with growing use of educational technology there will be rapid movement to the centre. From purely face-to-face (contact) tuition through to education solely at a distance
- An expanded definition of e-learning includes the use of all digital resources, systems, devices/computers, and electronic communication in the support of education. e.g. a course may supported digitally by the use of CDs, but it is not necessarily an online course.A second continuum could represent another dimension by plotting the extent of supporting ICTs – ranging from fully offline to fully online. Note the inclusion of ‘digitally supported’ in the ICT dimension. Furthermore, the commonly used terms of ‘web-supported’ and ‘web dependent’ are deemed to be too specific and have given way to ‘Internet-Supported’ and Internet-Dependent’. In internet-supported programmes, participation online is an option or alternative for learners. In internet-dependent programmes, participation via the internet is a requirement, and could include online interaction, communication and access to course materials via the web. In fully online programmes, there is no physical face-to-face component, although there could be a virtual face-to-face component. In our African context, it is pertinent to also consider digital forms of support that do not require internet access. The digital forms of support for learning could be offline via a CD/DVD, and a further detail could be expressed by clarifying exactly which elements of the ICT dimension may be on- or offline. Of course, within a particular course, learning could be supported both online and digitally offline at various stages.The continued evolution of e-learning is contributing to the blurring of the distinction between face-to-face and distance education provision. It is useful to conceptualise the two continua in relation to each other as horizontal and vertical axes.
- Rather than view these two continua separately, it is useful to conceptualise them in relation to each other as horizontal and vertical axes. Situating various courses or programmes on the resulting grid allows one to describe both the extent of spatial or geographic distribution and the ICT supported dimensions of a course or programme. The circles positioned on the grid represent examples based on courses or programmes at actual higher education institutions. This would enable for an HEI to position a particular course or programme (such as B) on the grid in terms of where they are situated right now, and then determine where the institution would like them to move to over a period of time. This could assist in identifying what changes would be required in order to move or reposition the course in terms of this grid, and the other influencing factors or aspects of the course would need to be taken into account.

- Preserve the integrity of the teaching and learning process and environment by:using ICT to support (not drive) teaching and learning Employ flexibility to ensure the ICT support is appropriate for:the topic, level of study, student contextand the expertise of the lecturer / tutors / studentsThe way in which we use digital technology models particular values for our students and places particular kinds of demands both on them and on their teachers. Therefore, we need to make conscious choices to use suitable technologies in appropriate ways taking cognizance of both our learning purposes and the technology profile of our target learners and staff.
