rela7onship
began
in
2002
during
a
UNESCO
Forum
of
experts.
• In
2012
UNESCO
and
the
Commonwealth
of
Learning
organized
the
World
OER
Congress
at
the
UNESCO
HQ
in
Paris
from
20
–
22
June.
• It
was
preceded
by
6
worldwide
regional
forums
to
gather
contribu7ons
from
all
Educa7on
stakeholders.
• More
than
400
delegates

Paris
OER
Declara#on.
• The
Declara7on
provides
a
10-­‐point
Strategy.
• The
Declara7on
marks
a
historic
moment
in
the
growing
movement
for

• There
is
the
opportunity
to
teach
girls
and
boys
to
develop
mobile
apps
using
mobile
phones.
• Lack
of
PCs
in
developing
countries
precludes
mobile-­‐based
tools.
• The
number
of
smartphones
increases
exponen#ally
in
developing
countries.
• The
next
one
billion
new
internet
connec#ons
will
be
from
mobile
devices
in
the
hands
of
young
people
from
developing
countries

21.
The
challenge:
Engage
young
people,
specially
girls,
to
acquire
the
high-­‐level
skills
to
develop,
promote,
and
sell
locally
relevant
mobile
apps
that
solve
local
issues
of
sustainable
development
and
provide
employment.
HOW?
Developing
OER
training
materials.
Training
the
ICT
teachers.
Developing

Siri,
I
want
to
become
a
professional
photographer.
What
should
I
do?
“I want to be a photographer,
what should I do?”
I found this Open University
course (T189), that you can
enrolled to in the regional centre
2 miles from here (cost £427).
“OK, anything free I can try
first?”
There is an Introduction to
Photography course on MIT
OCW, and a Computational
Photography course on coursera
starting soon.
