Makerere University OER Experience by Tenywa Moses

Appreciation Learning is a lifelong process. I believe in the adage "You can teach and old dog new tricks". In this spirit I wish to express my grateful thanks to COL and the facilitators for giving me this great opportunity of exposure to Open Educational Resources in Agriculture.

The experience is memorable in many aspects.
