2008: Launch African Health OER
Network
“When you look in
4
textbooks it’s difficult to
find African cases. The
cases may be pretty
similar but sometimes it
can be confusing when
you see something that
you see on white skin so
nicely and very easy to
pick up, but on the dark
skin it has a different
manifestation that may be
difficult to see.”

“We have limited resources
but because of the
Internet, we can share.
The South has diseases
[the Global North] knows
nothing about. Our
materials are relevant to us
and in the North.”

Myth that OER is separate from regular
materials development
Myth that open licenses cannot coexist with

Authors misunderstanding copyright or open
