During 2009 the University of Malawi (UNIMA) embarked on two exciting and innovative OER projects, one at the Kamuzu College of Nursing and the second at the Bunda College of Agriculture. These projects were co-funded by the Open Society Initiative for Southern Africa (OSISA) and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and facilitated jointly by SAIDE’s OER Africa Initiative and the International Association for Digital Publications (IADP). The initial project resources have been completed and together with insights to the process are now available on the OER Africa website.
