The document outlines the African Health Open Educational Resources (OER) network's mission to enhance health education in Africa through locally developed educational materials. It discusses the importance of OER in addressing curriculum gaps and incorporating African cases in medical training. Additionally, it highlights the collaborative efforts of various organizations and institutions, including the University of Michigan, to build sustainable educational resources for African communities.
![Why OER? When you look in 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 a 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. Sometimes it is difficult for the students to appreciate when they see a clinical case that involves an African. I think that [locally developed] OER will go a long way in helping the students appreciate the cases that we see in our part of the world. -Richard Phillips, lecturer, Department of Internal Medicine, KNUST Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/20111103omollo-decode-111107063207-phpapp01/85/OER-activities-through-University-of-Michigan-African-Health-OER-Network-and-Beyond-8-320.jpg)

- 9. What Is “The Network”? The mission of the African Health OER Network is to advance health education in Africa by using open educational resources (OER) developed by and targeted toward Africans in order to share knowledge, address curriculum gaps, and support communities around health education.

- 40. What is dScribe? dScribe, which stands for "digital and distributed scribes," builds on the idea that by distributing tasks across a variety of interested people and using digital tools and resources we can potentially lower the cost, time, and overall effort required to create OER.
- 42. dScribes assist authors to make work available as OER.
- 43. what types of third-party (i.e. created by someone other than the author) objects might there be have in the content?
- 44. what should the author or dScribe do with those third-party objects?
- 45. possible actions :: retain : keep the content because it is licensed under an Open license or is in the public domain :: replace : you may want to replace content that is not Openly licensed (and thus not shareable) :: remove : you may need to remove content due to privacy, endorsement or copyright concerns
- 46. Why be a dScribe at U-M? Build skills and knowledge around open access, OER, copyright, and copyleft Collaborate w/ other dedicated classmates, staff, and faculty Make resources more widely available (classmates, alumni, universal access) with recognition Review topic or course content Free food Course or internship credit Possibility of future part-time or full-time employment
- 49. In addition to participating as dScribes, some students have also authored OER.

- 61. Concluding Remarks OER is seen as means to streamlining health (and other disciplines) education, not an end in itself. African colleagues have specialized knowledge that can be useful to health professionals worldwide. KNUST Communication Design students possess many skills that can enhance OER.

- #51: or even a textbook Example #1 Chemical Engineering Open wiki Textbook by Peter Woolf This project is a collaboration between the faculty and students of the University of Michigan chemical engineering department. It is a student-contributed open-source text covering the materials used at Michigan in a senior level course. The goal of this project is to provide the greater chemical engineering community with a useful, relevant, high quality, and free resource describing chemical process control and modeling. Initial construction of this resource began in Fall 2006. Example #2 High Performance Computing Open Textbook by Charles Severance High Performance Computing, originally published by O’Reilly–but out of print since 2003, has been republished on Connexions. Book author Charles Severance, with his editor Mike Loukides, worked with O’Reilly to release the book under a CC-BY license, then coordinated with the Connexions staff to republish it. The book is now freely available on the web and in PDF. Printed copies are available on-demand for the cost of printing and shipping. The CC-BY license also makes it possible for the entire contents of the book to be remixed and republished by anyone. (Note that Merlot allows CC licenses to be added to their submissions, these licenses enable us to pull content from Merlot and publish it in our collection.)
- #52: A student peer-reviewed scholarly journal like this example from the School of Social Work. A student handbook for traveling and doing research abroad, created with the support of the Center for Global Health, which is coupled with an interactive Google site that features discussion groups, an events calendar, and other resources.
