AgShare is an 18-month planning and piloting project in which Michigan State University (MSU) and the South African Institute of Distance Education’s OER Africa Initiative are working with a range of African anchor partners to build the foundation of the AgShare Open Educational Resources (OER) collaboration.
The vision of AgShare is to become a catalyst for collaboration and alignment among existing African OER and agricultural organizations to strengthen MSc agriculture curricula.
