Problem Statement
Shortage funds for pub high ed Shortage funds for student loans

BY
From 7 to 1 public university in
2013
In 2014/2015, 42.7% of student admitted in
Public higher ed dropped out or suspended
because they were denied student loans
Research questions
1. Which MOOCs can potentially be adapted for
use in opening up Rwandan higher education?
2. Which OER units can potentially be adapted for
use in opening up Rwandan higher education?
3. What is the potential contribution of different
stakeholders in Rwandan higher education to
opening up this level of education?
Subsidiary research question for RQ 3
• To what extent are learners willing to engage in self-
determined open learning?
• To what extent are academics at the University of Rwanda
willing to contribute to OER and open courses, and adopt
open education roles?
• To what extent are the University of Rwanda’s leaders and
policy makers willing to develop an institutional open
education policy and strategy that recognise academics’ open
educational practices/roles and credibly certify competencies
developed via self-determined open learning?
Research Design
Analysis
Phase 1 Results
Findings on MOOCs across 6 analytical category
Potential contribution of MOOCs
Reading resources in the MIT OCW OER units
Openness in OER Units
Challenge of World Poverty: 22 videos & their
transcripts released under CC BY-NC-SA
Phase 2 results
Learner’s willingness to engage in self-
determined open learning practices
Condition for such engagement
Academics willingness to contribute to OER
Conditions to engage in different OEP
Policy makers/leaders’ willingness to support
assessment of open learning for credit and recognise
academics’ OEP
• Not identified in interview and policy documents analysed:
• Existing regulation for open and distance education
programme: Mostly copied from the regulations for
conventional education
• Some of these policies are decontextualised:
The University of Rwanda (2014, pp. 37)
Beyond research
1. National policy on open, distance and eLearning
Screenshots taken and used with the tweet author’s permission
2. From intention to drop out to a distinction
3. From a pass grade to a first class
• From secondary education completion with a pass
grade to undergraduate education completion with
a first class
 Credentials voluntarily shared for authenticity
verification
Post viva amendments
In the light of a framework for opening up higher ed. collaboratively
Nkuyubwatsi (2015); Nkuyubwatsi et al. (2015)
Summary: Research
• 2 MOOCs were found to have the potential to be
adapted for use in opening up higher education
• 1 OER unit was found to have the potential to be
adapted for use in opening up higher education
• Learners were willing to engage in different self-
determined open learning practices
• Academics were willing to engage in different OEP
• No willingness to support assessment of open learning
practices for credit or recognise academics OEP could be
identified.
Summary: Parallel Development
• A policy on Open, Distance and eLearning
• A move from intention to dropout to
completing an online programme with a
distinction
• A move from a secondary education
completion with a pass grade to
undergraduate education completion with a
first class.
