Identify an area which you are very keen to learn more about, or where you feel you need resources. Your own work as a teacher may require you to have materials for classroom teaching-learning processes, or for sharing with colleagues for mutual learning, or simply for your self-development. It will be much more meaningful learning, if as a part of using this tool-kit, you could access, create, re-purpose and publish a OER on a topic which you want to learn/ know more about. The topic could be from the subject you teach (a science topic like ‘Light’ or a mathematics topic such as ‘number system’ or a geography topic as ‘forests’), or a larger issue in education ('Challenges of teaching in inner-city public schools'), or larger social issue ('global warming'). You could create this OER in English or in your own native language (where the need for such an OER may be even greater).

The toolkit assumes that you have a basic comfort in using computers, you can start and shut down a desktop computer. It assumes very basic familiarity with the commonly used applications on a computer, such as file explorer, web browser and text editor. The toolkit assumes similar basic comfort in using a feature mobile phone (aka ‘smart phone’).

The toolkit assumes similar basic comfort in using a feature mobile phone (aka ‘smart phone’).
The toolkit also assumes that you are aware about the concept of OER and familiar with the copyright / licensing requirements of OER. If not, you can read the [https://www.col.org/resources/basic-guide-open-educational-resources-oer A Basic Guide to Open Educational Resources (OER)] book or undergo a two [http://tell.colvee.org/mod/scorm/view.php?id=196 hour course on OER], from the [https://col.org CommonWealth of Learning].

You can any time access this tool-kit, off-line or through the on-line Wiki repository to learn the FOSS tools to create, re-purpose and publish OER.
