The National Consultation will work towards (a) identifying present challenges to the creation and use of OER; and (b) identifying opportunities for intervention for inclusive development through OER at the institutional and national levels. All discussions will be recommendation- and action-oriented. In particular, the Consultation will focus on seven themes, each of which will be addressed by a dedicated consultative session. The themes are as follows:

1.      Examining the benefits and implications of the 2014 Open Licensing Policy Guidelines of the National Mission on Education through ICT

2.      Examining good practices and case studies on OER-based learning

3.      Exploring the role of digital libraries vis-?-vis OER initiatives

4.      Adapting existing institutional OER policies

5.      Developing and applying frameworks to assess the quality of OER

6.      OER for persons with disabilities

7.      OER for skill development

We would be glad if you would kindly accept our invitation, and confirm your availability and participation by 30 November 2015 at the latest. We would greatly appreciate it if you could be present for both days of the event, and take part in the various sessions.
