A Common Research Methodology Course (CRMC)e-Course to meet the 35 hour contact requirement for a University course
Faculty would develop the Unit themselves for ownership
Content developers were identified by the Deans of Schools (K.U. has thirteen teaching Schools)
They were identified through a participatory process for their “expertise”

What were we to do with the materials? We reviewed it and forwarded it “as is
where is” to the content developers!! With wisdom of hindsight it is clear now the
this is not a very productive approach!!

We should have done a needs assessment of the requirements of the Content developers ensuring that developers were clear about what they needed or did not need and/or
We should have interrogated the materials received with a view to:◦ Sift through the materials with the Content developers to
identify relevant information◦ Explore the materials as a resource for content
development based on the requirements and set parameters of the CRMC
◦ Identify and address any challenges the content developers may have had in using the materials
◦ Review usefulness of the materials in meeting needs of CRMC as conceived for Kenyatta University
Looking back, what should we have done?

What did the Content developers do with the material?
We don’t know! While we ultimately produced good
material, we cannot say the extent that OER contributed to the quality, if at all.

That OER is an opportunity to re-engage with the process of course development
That information is available, in fact there is a glut of it and the challenge is to manage it to meaningfully, effectively and optimally work for your needs and context: Need to plan, adopt and evaluate the use of OER in Curriculum development…We cannot assume that the fact that the material is available it is necessary and sufficient
What are lessons of the exercise?

learn…Alvin Toffler
OER demands a New Literacy

How do we ensure that we optimally use OER in collaborative curriculum and course
content development projects?
It will be productive for the PHEA-ETI projects working with OER to deliberately investigate this question and document lessons learnt
with a view of scaling up best practice.
