The Commonwealth of Learning has wrapped up a two-day Regional Workshop on Open Educational Resources (OER) Practices in the Age of Artificial Intelligence in Nigeria yesterday.

Co-hosted by the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) and COL’s Regional Centre Training and Research Institute for Distance and Open Learning (RETRIDOL), the workshop brought together colleagues and partners from six Commonwealth countries across West Africa.

The workshop aimed to review the status of OER processes across the region, explore emerging AI opportunities and risks, highlight best practices, and strengthen AI-OER capacities, all while keeping African knowledge systems, values, and languages central and respected in open education.

Watch the video for highlights from the opening ceremony.
