- In light of increasing emphasis on both localization and globalization of information technology and equal access to educational opportunities for all people, online Open Educational Resources (OER) are considered to be a promising approach for promoting free and adaptable education access to instructors and learners around the world. Wide variation in the quality and content of repository websites available in different communities indicates a need to investigate the similarities and differences between the Learning Objects (LOs) offered. A systematic comparison of three websites with contributors and end-users in Africa and around the world provides a clearer picture of how a community’s needs and resources inform OER availability and offerings. This project reviews OERAfrica.org, TESSAfrica.net (Teacher Education in sub-Saharan Africa), and OERcommons.org, using the categories of design, intended audience, and rank of five LOs per site using the Learning Object Review Instrument (LORI Version 1.5).
