This project will bring what we've learned working with African schools to North American schools.
Open Educational Resource (OER) Curation, Creation, and Professional Development. The current focus is leading teams in African countries (Ghana, South Africa, and Kenya) that promote literacy in elementary schools by:
1. Creating, curating, and sourcing OER content that meets the needs of elementary students aligned to standards. A special emphasis is on incorporating materials edited and adapted for and translated into the local languages in addition to the use of English language materials.
2. Implementing the OER content on open-source MoodleBox software on a portable server that does not require internet access.
3. Creating professional development courses for teachers to support their implementation of the OER curriculum. These Professional Development courses are conducted on an open-source Moodle system; the courses are openly licensed and will be shared via Moodle.Net.
