Creation of African-Based, Open Curricular Materials: The AgShare Method
Abstract
102 words
Working in partnership with four universities around East Africa,
the AgShare planning and pilot project produced exciting results
through the creation of African-based, open curricular materials
that are easily localised. This work involved the incorporation of
new faculty processes, active learning, and engagement by
universities with community stakeholders. It also involved a
graduate student learning and research agenda that focuses on
serving the smallholder farm community. The process of growing
open, shareable African-led resource based curricula can
contribute towards sustainable agriculture productivity if they
are based on solid research by university faculty and their students,
coupled with input at the local level.
