Transforming learning through innovation: the COL experience

Abstract

COL established a six-country partnership to develop 20 sets of course materials in print and online formats, based on the secondary curricula of Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, Seychelles, Trinidad & Tobago and Zambia. The materials have been developed as Open Education Resources (OER), so that without duplicating effort, participating countries can have access to quality materials that they can adopt and adapt as necessary. This content was provided to Sierra Leone during the Ebola crisis so that students could continue to study when the schools were shut down.
