People's Open Access Education Initiative

The People’s Open Access Education Initiative is just getting started. The goal is to use free and open source software to create high-quality educational resources that are available on the Internet in order to build public health capacity in low- to middle-income countries. Volunteer experts will be responsible for developing course modules and resources. There is an example focusing on maternal mortality on the “peoples-uni” website. There is a UK based management group and an international advisory group, with African members from Ghana, Nigeria, and Sudan.
