Teachers' toolkit for creating and re-purposing OER using FOSS/Annexure

The Annexure provides a training plan for a 3 day workshop to transact this toolkit for a group of teachers. It is possible to transact this at one stretch over three days. Alternatively, the three days could be spaced out, to allow for participants to work on the OER creation and re-purposing using the different FOSS applications and present it in the next interaction.

The Annexure also provides details of the FOSS applications used in this toolkit, including references for additional reading, user manuals and tutorials and alternatives on platforms other than the Ubuntu GNU/Linux system on your desktop (including on Windows Operating system, Android system and the Web).
