Hi Vincent - The Uganda pages are an inspiration for other Countries to follow your lead!
WikiEducators are are free to customise their OER portal pages --- its the wiki way :-) BIG thanks to everyone who has helped test our new resource: http://tinyurl.com/ykdwe9v The resource for creating an institutional OER portal is designed to make it easy for users who may not be familiar with templates to get started. A few "automated" customisations are possible -- i.e. replacing the logo and adding new text boxes. Users may want to create their own unique navigation templates as their skills improve over time. This is a great feature of a wiki --- the freedom to develop your own pages, customising your look and feel etc. Cheers Wayne 2009/10/21 vkizza <[email protected]> > > Hi Wayne, Gladys,and everyone, > Thanks for this great resource.
