This paper (10 page PDF) reports on an OER fellowship program at North-West University in South Africa. The project featured a number of lecture-oriented and student oriented resource development projects. There were also opportunities for students to participate in the creation of the resources. "It was clear that this initiative supported lecturer agency and self-directedness in terms of using OERs and moving towards OEPs," write the authors. "Furthermore, the potential for supporting student agency through creating opportunities for them to contribute to OER development through OEPs was clear."
