>---- Collaborative development of open content: A process model to unlock
>the potential for African universities
>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. However, there is
>currently no published operational model to guide institutions or
>individuals in creating collaborative open content projects. 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.
