- Abstract (up to 300 words to describe your proposal)
Open Educational Resource (OER) development in Africa is a challenging task especially looking at issues of the platform to host the OER and skills needed to develop the content. The choice of the right platform is usually constrained by the lack of free availability of such platforms. There are a number of skills that one needs to be able to develop good quality OER some of which are to do with instructional design, curriculum development and quality assurance. This session looks into the development of an OER for learning Dagbani for beginners. An estimated 1.17 million people speak Dagbani language in Ghana and Togo. This paper reflects on the process undertaken by the speaker to successfully develop an OER that teaches how to read and write in Dagbani OER. Even though the OER is geared towards beginners, the developer planned so as to have future expansion which will cater for the language all the way to advanced level.
