3. OER
Challenges that led to OER:
• Lack of paper school textbooks (50%)
• Lack of digital content on Kyrgyz language
• Lack of state funding for new educational
content elaboration
• Declarative character of distant education
in universities
4. OER
Working with the Government
• National “Smart Schools” program, where OER is
the priority #1
• Tender requirement of the Ministry of Education:
all textbooks have to be under CC-BY-NC license
• Central Asian TV-content sharing (digital
switchover process)
• 4 government agencies contribute to the OER-
Repository: Ministry of Education, National
Library, High Attestation Commission and
National Science Academy
5. OER
How is it going?
• About 400 textbooks are freely available
online
• About 2 million USD allocated for
production of OER for schools
• OER for teachers’ education
6. OER
• 7 national universities adopted their Open
Policies
• Teachers and students with “Open behavior”
• New meaning in digitizing of archives – not
only saving, but sharing
How is it going?
7. OER
Future plans
• Marrakesh Treaty in work: to facilitate access to
published works for persons who are blind or
visually impaired or with any physical disability
that prevents them from manipulating a book:
• Open education in work: libraries make publicly
accessible any educational content using
technologies that prevent from unauthorized
use of copies
Our best friends - “authorized entities” and
libraries
Most of ICT projects are initially donor funded
Multiple investments for the same product due to lack of coordination
Lack of inter-governmental coordination some donations are made without prior consultations with all stakeholders or without strategic visioning in implementing local projects
Lack of organic authority responsible for implementation of National eGovernment strategy
Donors usually cover capital investments in selected project phase. However lack of operational/running costs (which gov’t has to bear) leads to whole project failure
A lack of comprehensive master plans to guide investments
Focus on ICT applications that support traditional administrative and functional transactions rather than on reengineering of business processes in the context of technology adoption.
7 national universities adopted their Open Policies. As a sample we used UNESCO’s template and Open Access Policy of UNISA (University of South Africa). An by the will of God, today we stay here give back treasure we’ve got from UNISA 7 times more.
New meaning in digitizing of archives and uploading them on OER Repository (books, newspapers, manuscripts)
