21.
• UNESCO
and
Open
Educa7onal
Resources
rela7onship
began
in
2002
during
a
UNESCO
Forum
of
experts.
• In
2012
UNESCO
and
the
Commonwealth
of
Learning
organized
the
World
OER
Congress
at
the
UNESCO
HQ
in
Paris
from
20
–
22
June.
• It
was
preceded
by
6
worldwide
regional
forums
to
gather
contribu7ons
from
all
Educa7on
stakeholders.
• More
than
400
delegates
unanimously
approved
the
Paris
OER
Declara#on.
• The
Declara7on
provides
a
10-­‐point
Strategy.
• The
Declara7on
marks
a
historic
moment
in
the
growing
movement
for
Open
Educa7onal
Resources
and
calls
on
governments
worldwide
to

23.
• There
is
the
opportunity
to
teach
girls
and
boys
to
develop
mobile
apps
using
mobile
phones.
• Lack
of
PCs
in
developing
countries
precludes
mobile-­‐based
tools.
• The
number
of
smartphones
increases
exponen#ally
in
developing
countries.
• The
next
one
billion
new
internet
connec#ons
will
be
from
mobile
devices
in
the
hands
of
young
people
from
developing
countries

24. The
challenge:
Engage
young
people,
specially
girls,
to
acquire
the
high-­‐level
skills
to
develop,
promote,
and
sell
locally
relevant
mobile
apps
that
solve
local
issues
of
sustainable
development
and
provide
employment.
HOW?
Developing

Training

Developing

28. Siri,
I
want
to
become
a
professional
photographer.
What
should
I
do?
“I want to be a photographer,
what should I do?”
I found this Open University
course (T189), that you can
enrolled to in the regional centre
2 miles from here (cost £427).
“OK, anything free I can try
first?”
There is an Introduction to
Photography course on MIT
OCW, and a Computational
Photography course on coursera
starting soon.
