Collaborative development of open content: A process model to unlock the potential for African universities - Derek Keats, First Monday

Given the cost of content, the under-resourcing of universities and the scattered nature of expertise in Africa, the collaborative development of open content seems like a useful way to get high-quality, locally-relevant content for using to enhance teaching-and-learning.

This paper examines lessons learned from open source software development and uses these lessons to build the foundations of a process model for the collaborative development of open content.
