Building Open Educational Resources from the Ground Up: South Africa's Free High School Science Texts.
This paper presents a case study of the development of the South African project Free High School Science Texts (FHSST). The goals of this paper are two-fold: to examine and analyze the practices associated with the successes and challenges encountered by FHSST; and to encourage a participatory, analytical process that will assist other open education projects in thinking about and sharing their practices, processes, and strategies. Ultimately, the findings from this study will be used as early input into the development of assessment tools and resources that can assist any open education project in tracking, sharing, and advancing their learnings and success. The long-term goal is to develop ongoing mechanisms for knowledge sharing on open education initiatives worldwide.
