Namibia Digital Library Under Study
The Open Learning Exchange has been commissioned by UNESCO to coordinate a study of the potential for a national digital education library in Namibia.
OLE’s global approach to innovating education includes helping to build national digital libraries of open and free courseware relevant to the goals and standards of any interested country. At the same time, OLE has been building a global Billion Kids Library with online learning materials and tools enabling their adaptation, translation, and exchange among different countries.
In Namibia this month, OLE Senior Program Officer Shannon Taylor has been coordinating the feasibility study with UNESCO and Namibian educators, taking account of the current education sector landscape, as well as such matters as technological hosting requirements, e-readiness of schools, and content availability and acquisition.
