The syllabus page provides a recommended schedule for completing the course. You should aim to spend between 3 to 5 hours each week to complete the learning challenges at times which are convenient for your own schedule. The time you spend completing the challenges will vary according to your existing digital skills and experience. You are free to study at your own pace and access to the materials will remain open.

The Digital Skills for OER Sharing - Kiribati (DS4OERS) course comprises a number of learning challenges. You will start with the enabler challenges during the first week which provide the preknowledge you will need to develop open educational resources (OER). You will then proceed to complete a series of digital skills challenges to produce three reusable teaching resources for inclusion in a lesson plan of your choice.
