Two of the graduates of our Masters in Online and Distance Education have published a paper entitled “An Assessment of Factors Hindering Educators in Primary and Secondary Education from Utilizing Open Education Resources, Open-Source Tools, And MOOCS in Professional Development and Practice in Kampala District, Uganda”.

These students, both participants in the Commonwealth Scholarship programme, have researched why Teacher Professional Development in their region of Kampala under-utilises the available Open Educational Resources, Open Source tools and MOOCs that could potentially transform knowledge of technology-enhanced education.

Their findings make for a very interesting read.
