Description
This thesis investigates the role of open educational resources (OER) in primary education in developing countries. It retrieves lessons from an in-depth case study analysis of three OER-providing organizations, which have been catering to the literacy and primary education needs of children in India and South Africa. The findings indicate that OERs specific to the development of primary school-aged children can overcome several issues such as poor literacy, pedagogy, equity and access as well as help OER providers remain sustainable.
