Yes i have. Hoping Eastern Africa will get on the cards soon. Very practical steps here especially in favour of CC.

Subject: [FOSSFA Members] OER Workshops for Advocacy, Policy, and Materials Development for West Africa universities
To: "members AT mail.fossfa.net" <members AT mail.fossfa.net>



UNESCO is working on a large ICT in Education project with a substantial OER component for 8 universities in West Africa.

We have 2 simple objectives:
1.      Assist to create an enabling environment for the sustainable development and use of OERs to achieve increased access to quality education;

2.      Advance the implementation of the 2012 Paris OER Declaration.
http://www.unesco.org/new/fileadmin/MULTIMEDIA/HQ/CI/CI/pdf/Events/English_Paris_OER_Declaration.pdf

In partnership with the 8 universities and other local and international partners, I would like to design at least 2 capacity-building workshops:
1.      Advocacy/Policy Development for decision-makers and policy makers from the 8 universities;

2.      Development of OERs for professors and learners (including the development/translation of Basic Guides to OER)

The workshops are scheduled for early February 2013.
The workshop materials would need to be in French.
The design of the Workshop as well as trainer and delegate selection must reflect UNESCO's commitments to Gender Equality, access for Persons with Disabilities, and Multilingualism.
The trainer should preferably be from or have worked extensively in the UEMOA region.
The training materials must (naturally) be openly licensed with CC BY.

Please don't hesitate to directly contact me (a.caine AT unesco.org) if you have relevant information. I would greatly appreciate it if all Forum members could please on-forward this message to additional OER networks and contacts.

Regards,
Abel CAINE

Dear Aurelia,
Thank you very much for sharing this information which is very valuable in particular for those working in the High Education Sector in Africa. It is my trust that this will assist those who are on the drawing board to figure out how best can this assist them to foster the power of sharing.

Dear Brian, Florence and CC Africa colleagues,

Here are some resources available from CC HQ and the Open Courseware Consortium on using CC licenses in universities.  They may be useful to you and to other teams working with higher education.

OCWC toolkit: http://www.ocwconsortium.org/en/community/toolkit

Examples of implemented policies in institutions and projects:
* CC's OER policy registry breaks down policies implemented around the world by type, it includes institutional policies: http://wiki.creativecommons.org/OER_Policy_Registry
* http://wiki.creativecommons.org/OER_Case_Studies
* US specific: http://wiki.creativecommons.org/OER_Case_Studies/United_States


Best,

Dear Brain and colleagues,

This is not a bad idea for universities at all but all staff need to
first get on board and have an institutional IP policy in place as well.
