Training of Trainers in OER

COL supported a three-day ‘Training of Trainers’ workshop on open educational resources (OER) in Mauritius at the Ministry of Education, Tertiary Education, Science and Technology in June 2023.

Mauritius adopted a national OER policy in 2022, developed with COL’s assistance. The workshop was a follow-up on the policy’s implementation. The ministry had identified building local capacity as a priority, along with establishing a national OER repository. The training was facilitated by Dr Sanjaya Mishra, COL’s Director: Education, and covered finding, remixing and creating OER, plus a conceptual foundation in copyright and open licensing. Twenty-two participants from ten institutions at all levels of education participated to develop skills as trainers.
